Eels side

[Nelson]

I agree mate, lot of credit to the players
They could have been on the floor like skittles, they still turn up each week..

Parra will finally pack it in . That last loss put the nail in the coffin
Nothing to play for now.

Good to see the excuses for a Wests Tigers victory coming out early..

Give it a bone, **I've already said before** that the test will come after this week. Anyone who expect them to win didn't see them after the game last week .

Right so the excuses had actually started even earlier…Parra have played with heart all season and I don't think anything will change now.

Ok have it your way. We are going to be swamped by a ferocious parra pack that will be playing out of their skins and will scare the living Daylights out of our forwards and run all over our backs.well be lucky if we are within 20 points or Parra.
does that suit you better Nelson????

These two games were carefully picked for Taylors little games because the chances of a big loss is and was almost non existent

Ma'u suspended for Wests Tigers clash

Eels forward Manu Ma'u will miss his side's Round 21 clash with the Wests Tigers after he was found guilty of a grade one dangerous throw charge at the NRL judiciary on Wednesday night.

Ma'u was cited for an incident involving Titans playmaker Ash Taylor in Gold Coast's win over Parramatta in Round 20, with two prior non-similar offences in the past two years not helping his cause.

Generally a back-rower, Ma'u had again been named in the centres on Tuesday to cover injuries to Parramatta's backline, with his replacement to be confirmed an hour before kick-off on Saturday night.

They are a completely different side to what we played earlier this season. We still have to turn up and play well though.

Thats a help, Id love him here…hes come a long way in a short time...playing well

 

[Winnipeg]

Danger game. Could be the beginning of the end for our season if we don't turn up.

Where's Jennings? I was having nightmares about him carving up our right side.

 

[cktiger]

Pretty poor side with every one of their big names out.
If we don't beat them it will say more about us than them.

John Folau comes in for Mau, pretty happy with that, his defence is terrible. moses and kev should have a field day on him

[gallagher]

I forgot all about that guy. Was he signed just to entice his brother to go there?

Its also just his second game back after a 6 week lay off with a broken hand, so we should be sending a lot of action his way.

He's not the quickest guy out there, I suspect Kev's footwork might have him scrambling a bit.

Nah mate originally an Eel. Was used as bait to sign his brother though.

Agreed.He is a damaging edge runner who has a great work rate and brings 80 minutes of mongrel.The fact that he is of Samoan heritage as is a lot of our younger players in the team would also work wonders for the team aswell.Off contract in 2018 and is one I would have my eyes closely on.

hes big and strong but terrible laterally, 10m out he will be hard to stop but he shouldnt be getting quality balls from their halves. their entire left side is makeshit so our right should do a number on them with any luck.

 

[Flippedy]

A good test coming up.

Each week, with every scandal I've been expecting them to turn up their heels but each week they keep turning up.
Gonna be tough

Yes they are on a mission and instead of turning it up, which they have every right to do, they have used all the adversity they've suffered this season to galvanise as a team.

I have no doubt they were Premiership contenders before everything went south. With Foran & Norman in the halves, a strong pack of forwards and Radradra killing it on the wing they were the real deal at the start of the season. And even now with all that lost, they still have plenty to offer. Gutherson is a danger in the halves and the forwards all work for each other. This will not be an easy game for us at all.
