Your team vs Eels

[mtd#2]

They will target Madden on the 5th. He kicked every kick bar one from API. Hopefully Douhie can kick next week. Otherwise the markers will put pressure on Madden all day

Andrew Johns has spoken about this previously. The kickers are so protected these days there really isnt much pressure on them at all.

My only concern with Jock is his defence.

You can still disrupt. Madden's 2nd last kick went. Nowhere after defence got to him.

You can. But Madden also had an absolute cracker from our own half that I think resulted in a line drop out. Good with the bad.. and the good was really good.

The Eels backline shifts are as good as any team in the comp.Our left edge will be targeted all game. You would imagine our forwards should be able to set the platform for a win. But if the Eels get a roll on they are very hard to stop

Don’t discount there forwards , they are big and mobile

No game is easy in the nrl. We were underdogs against the wahs. I know Benji doesn’t like comparisons to previous years but we do have a history of letting these ones slip. If we play like we did against the wahs and cowboys then we should win.

If we can keep the same team.

Think Eels backs will take it to us.
The young lads - Luke, Masi & Tino will be up against it.

Masi, needs to stay on the wing for now.

Agree. Think Benji should make the call and shift Masi to the wing to continue learning first grade. That edge is leaking a lot of points and at this stage he likely moves there as soon as may and/or toa are fit regardless.

Didn’t Benji have to get a dispensation for Tino to play? Not sure if that is a week to week thing or a set period of time.Week to week thing

Put Herbert in? Genuine centre and is steady from what I remember. I'd putaraksini on the wing this week.

Doesn’t matter who’s out for Parra, JAC and Moses always have a field day against us. Can’t afford to be complacent

100% mate! Moses ALWAYS rises for the Tigers games.
