Mitchell Moses once again has another chance to prove the doubters wrong against the Raiders tonight and the the game is set up for he to be the hero as the eels are coming of loss and are missing probably the most naturally gifted Five eight since Brett Kenny in Dylan Brown .
Moses did absolutely nothing last week against the dragons even when they were down to 12 men and Parra had all the field position , since 2017 Moses has consistently shown that he does not have what it takes yet many eels fans keep making excuses for him in the hope he will finally be what he needs to be for the eels .
If Moses were at the Storm or Chooks or any of the top clubs and dished out the failure he has at Parra he would of been punted years ago but Parra is a very different club .
So let's see if Mitch can step up and be what the eels need him to be because eels fans have been waiting nearly 5 years for him to show show he has what takes , it over you now Mitch so don't buckle .

Couldn't agree more Frankie.
Big game tonight in context of our season and a true indication of where we are really at as a side.
Raiders were unlucky last week against Penrith, this won't be an easy task.
You could only assume the heat will be turned up on a few individuals if we don't get a result tonight.

Well, its quite evident that Mitch Moses did far more than what his critics think he's capable of.
Monto, Moses was brilliant last night, that's the steady game he played in the first few weeks of the season and we need him to play every week.
The forwards done a very good job and Moses with his kicking game just put the icing on the cake maintaining field position and pressure.
Gee Papali'i is a good player, he is easily in our Top 3 players if not our best.
What a find he's been!
Scott
Hopefully he doesn't play like Sam Walker did last night. Lol
But seriously, watching Hughes last night he was terrific. No one was talking about him but he did everything well. Finished sets really well and applied pressure perfectly. That's all Moses needs to do. Nothing amazing, just read the game well and apply pressure as required.
No Mutts, he has to score at least 3 tries, get 5 try assists & 8 line break assists, but never throw a pass that's even remotely risky.
The realist, mr analyst, and analysis it's all happening lol
I'm sorry I don't like it, you 2 as bad as each other, add Shaun lane with you 2.
He can if he can get our big men at an isolated Curtis Scott, his defence is awful.
Your game plan against Canberra should be ensure your marker defence is up to scratch because they love rucking the ball from dummyhalf kick early in your sets at the start of each half so their forwards can't dominate the middle in attack and just keep attacking Scott all night.
Both centres are their weakness go at them again and again. We don't want to play Canberra's game where they like it in the trenches and niggle. Rapana will be up to his dirty self instead move them around.
That doesn't mean we don't go up the middle , subtle changes of direction so it's easier to exploit the edge of the ruck.
That game plans up to Moses to execute.It's on him tonight as well as Mahoney.They set the tone so set it early and execute it relentlessly.
Moses, Gutho and Mahoney need to step up tonight.
Reed kick more often and darts from dummy.
Gutho step up and run our RS attack and middle.
Moses, time to shine, manage the game, kick to the corners, go in as 1st receiver and direct our pack around.
Awh Shawn I was really thinking positive response, but then I realized you were commenting.
