Moronna wears that rugby union headgear like to say “union is really my game guys. That’s why I never lived up to expectations here. I’m REALLY good at that game.” Stop dropping balls and find some mongrel before you go ya prick.
Unfortunately the reserves cannot be changed and it’s Terepo to play. Maybe we will see the 2017 Peni when he was occasionally awesome. Guess BA wanted experience.

Was just gonna ask if we can apply for dispensation and change our line up...maybe we can argue we didn’t expect monkies to be sitting in court!?
Nuikore is fab and Alvaro was really good last week, finally showed similar form to last year. Not a moment too late as our chances depend heavily on him repeating that form.
Really hope this doesn’t bite us on the arse as badly as the bench did in 17 and the unpreparedness we found ourselves in with Alvaro out early did back then.
I’ve supported Brad through thick and thin but we should’ve been better prepared for cover in this area with players blooded FG ready, esp given our lack of depth and decent FG form of incumbent front row stocks - I’ve continually found it beyond belief that Mannah or someone else hasn’t been given a bench shot earlier and it’s hard to know why Mannah wasn’t included in the preceding weeks based on his form.
As good as the Kaneplane has been for us I believe Peni can come in and do a similar job. If he puts his head down and runs hard he can be a very effective metre eater. Just one thing Peni. HOLD THE BLOODY BALL!
There is an alleged RLPA player poll being talked about in the podcast world that could provide explosive media click-bait when it's officially released soon.
Paul Kent’s May 25th podcast (from about the 34th minute) claims that around half the…
"Daz, that’s a fascinating point. I listened to Kent’s podcast after your post.
Kent claims around half the RLPA poll respondents were senior players with 8+ years experience (over 200 seasons of experience) and their concerns included:
""The Eels have also defended multiple consecutive sets without conceding points. The issue is not whether they can. But how often they are forced to do it."
Pretty much. And that comes from incomplete sets and dropped balls. Our systems on the line…"
"Well, how many half chances that the Eels have left out there would have been converted with Hayne and Semi? The Eels rank 11th for converting a normal set into a try. If there are set restarts? The Eels drop to 15th for scoring a try after a set…"

Alvaro will start with Moeroa (unfortunately) on the bench.

We can’t go into a final against one of the better packs using 3 backrowers on the bench. Surely Terepo comes in and I bloody hope so!

...and don't give away penalties!
Peni Terepo would be my preferred choice. Hopefully, he plays with the agression and leg drive we associated with his game in 2017.
Great choice, snail one or snail two. Wonder how they will have the energy to get off the bench?
