Agree, both of these boys are making such a difference, I hope we resign Eisenhuth, the guy has a great Attitude and good hands, Twai is still on the up he might be anything next year.
Cleary u got what u deserved.

Not many other options left for Cleary to choose as McIlwrick is unable to play 80..
After having some doubts myself over Ivan… the past month has been a lot more positive in my mind...we are playing some good footy getting up the field and defending a lot better on our goal line..
Some simple errors and execution at the back end of sets still need a lot of work but it's coming...At the ground the energy was good and the kept playing for 80mins when in the past they would have turned it up and got beaten by 30 odd...

I think JT was a terrible coach. I think Cleary looks great.

How did Brooks miss that final field game attempt so badly, I doubt he even look where the posts were. Virtually throwing 80 mins of effort away along with that last goal attempt after the try. But at least their incompetency was matched by the Eels to make an interesting if low class game. Brooks high shoulder charge on Moses was shocking. Do they share a flat along with Teddy? Then Brooks final trip was also shocking - hope he loses a week.

Yep… Couldnt believe the bench once finalised.
If we got more meters up the middle, we win today.

I hope your right in changimg your doubts about Ivan mate.
I can see some things but have major doubts about others.
McIlwrick not being able to play 80 could have been covered another way then playing JLJ. For one, Matt seemed to be going strong when he was replaced, i believe he would have got through the 80, maybe not every week, but this week he still looked good. Secondly, a stop gap option of starting Elijah at 9 for 20 mins before moving him to an edge would have been more effective.
Also, we came up against an ex player who dogged us, a player who has been suspect defensively, and the edge backrower Cleary puts there to run at him is Lovett? That is a decision in itself that deserves questions. Yes Lawrence and Alioai out had us scratching at who to throw at Moses, but it had to be someone who could ice him if we got him one on one. Even switching Eljiah to the left edge would have at least shown he's trying to get at opposition weaknesses.
I dont see any specific things that have shown us Ivan has the ideas needed to dissect oppostions weaknesses and also play to our strengths.

3 players pulled out of the original 21 injured and there isn't much to call on beyond that. We really struggle to bring anyone up of quality. Not sure Ivan had many other options this week

Taylor got them to what place last year? Cleary has got them where this year? It ain't rocket science unless you lack the ability to set aside your hatred of the former coach to see what is right in front of your eyes. :blah

Why can't McIlwrick play 80 min's ?? I'm not sure Liddle is big enough or strong enough to play 80 min's, he needs to build up his shoulder to be able to compete in the NRL. Why don't we go after the Mitch Rein he's stood in for Peter Wallace for a few weeks at Penrith, and scored a couple of times and had his had in few as well.
We didn't have very good 5th tackle kick options today, both 7 and 6 need to work on that part of the game, getting another set of 6 on their line helps when you can constantly put little grubber kicks into the ingoal area trapping them.
JLJ .. dropped the ball off a simple offload from Woodsy .. which unfortunately set the Parra field goal .. what he is doing in first grade is beyond me, can't run, can't tackle, can't pass, and can't catch the ball .. !!
Don't think starting with Ava on the bench helped us either .. we lacked go forward in the first half of the game. Which really means we need an impact player off the bench .. !!
Not many big name players with impact left on the "no contract list" for next season .. did someone mention Dave Taylor is on this list ?? What our thoughts on him ?? I've seen him up close here in Canberra and the man is "HUGE" .. hate to see his food bill.
