Completely agree TDS has to be dropped, I could even see De belin at prop with walker at lock or even doorey starting. Samrani was great in trials so we should give him his hsot
Would Papali at 6 be any good? Samrani needs be in the side. Brown needs to be in the side. Definitely need some changes but wouldn't be surprised if there are no changes
I would have the same backline interchange Russell and Kelly in d and attack. I think ryley is injured no choice but to start da Silva. I would give hoppy and JDB another shot.
Samrani to wing. I agree having Riley Smith and replacing him with TDS doesn't seem to help things. I'm also a little worried with the Moses/ Pezet combination. Both are good and dominent 7s but there seemed to be some confusion who was running the show. I'd give them 5 weeks and if they haven't clicked bring one of the young guns from NSW cup in at 5/8. Just my thoughts
Only thing is you don't want to bring those kids up to early, both need defensive work. Pezet at least can be placeholder for a few wins. Yoh can win games with Pezet.
"What I take away from that game is that the Eels spent the entire off-season learning how to completely forget how to play a first grade standard of football, and the evidence is the Eels' diabolically bad second half.
E = Error by Eels, RI = Ruck…"

We waste 2 interchanges on the Smith and Da Silva rotation, thats a waste if you ask me.
I am not sure if Kit Kat is an edge second rower. His lateral movement is rubbish.

Hey Darren, I think the De Belin critics are a bit over the top, he made 45 tackles and only missed 2, plenty worse out there than him.
I looked back through some of his stats from last year, he is simply a tackling machine, every team needs one of them.
I think I need to rewatch the game because I am with you. I didn't think JDB was that bad compare to some others
