"Funnily enough his best defence was in his first 2 years of NRL when he was like 18-20 years old. Since then its gone backwards every year. Same with his basic skills and understanding of the game as you mentioned."
"Never heard of him. It's just so pathetic that the Eels recruitment can't actually purchase some decent players. "
"why wait we have spots available"
"Bazza, theres to many players on massive overs. How can we be spending the same amount as Penrith. Its totally mismanaged. I wouldn't be surprised if Charlie Guymer was upgraded to 550k when he should be in 190k. "
"Doesn't mean Herbie will be a great Fullback though. I think he could very well be but we have nothing to show he can be. He's always been a Centre. Even for England he hasn't been moved to Fullback. If anything I though they would put him there.…"
"I just do not see any risk at all. Herbie's skill level is off the charts, he's probably better than Iongi in nearly every metric and he just moves better than Iongi. I don't ever see Iongi becoming elite. He's very good through effort like Gutho…"
"Agreed that's why I believe this is just another stop gap. I honestly don't think Wing is our biggest issue right now though. I understand this may be the only option a club will throw our way right now so it is what it is. "
"Moses must be on $2mill a season if Skelton is all they can afford."
"Agree. Skelton is a good Jake Tago replacement. We also don't need wingers IMO. Centres.....

"Russell-Samrani-Nanva-Fox should be our backline for a few games until we figure out what the hell is going on."
"Months scouting and this is what they come up with ? Must have come cheap couple of pies and a Fanta. There are plenty of players in reserve grade looking for a start. I will say this isn't true. No no no!"
"Exactly, Daz.

"The only way you keep Iongi is if he moves to 6. That is a learning experience for him too. But I disagree I think he leaves as other clubs will say to him we will give you Fullback.

How anyone can still defend this recruitment and retention team along with the man at the top mark O'Neil is beyond me, like how bad does it have to get before it's acknowledged…"

Cannot see why not, but unfortunately the battling line looks as fragile as poppa's hips!lol it appears it could be a tough summer
Nothing wrong with my hips Mickey. It what hangs off them thats a bit wobbly!
Please no pics pop's!lol Keep it PG.
In the absence of 'experts' in the field I'd think the batsmen at the top of the order need to book a bulk visit to a good shrink. The fog and uncertainty need to expelled so they can play once again assured. Only Travis, Marsh and Carey are currently mentally fit to play a role in the test team. India has a dynamic bowling group, but they're aided large by the meek effort of some of our batters.
Hope you're right Mick, I always look to our cricket team to take my mind away from the o'rf season. If there's no bounce back from them, my only back-up is the Thunder.
Yeah RJ, cricket is a great game takes our minds off footy for while but now its seems NRL is 365 day business - all it takes is a great knock or great partnership and it can turn a series
They need a talk from Steve Waugh. Learn what it takes for the mental disintegration of your opponents. To do that, you have to be completely switched on and focussed yourself.
The lack of red ball cricket has also not helped. Where is the Sheffield Shield? That's supposed to produce Test Cricketers, but all we have seen is T20 and a few one-dayers.
Team overall is getting too old and the current state of Shield cricket is uninspiring.
We are on the decline, unless a few unexpected youngsters jump out of the ground.
The bowlers tend to be pretty good game to game but the batters (ex Head) are basically flat track bullies.
Khawaja (38) should be pensioned off. Labuschagne (30) is hopelessly out of form. Smith (35) seems to be past it. Starc (34) is all over the shop innings to innings. Lyon (37) is not ever going to do a Warne and rip thru a team. Hazlewood (33) is good but he is no McGrath. Cummins (31) is inconsistent but generally good.
We miss Green but also need a genuine bowling all-rounder who can be our Flintoff, Pollock etc. I thought Cummins might turn into that but his batting is getting worse.
My opinion only and I am sure others will have different thoughts.
Have to agree with everything you've said Badger. Depressing but true. Also we can't continually bowl using the seam while the blokes from the Sub-Continent excell in that manner.
