How did he? Best was ordinary and he was being marked by Fataape. Maybe Fataape made Best look ordinary.

Would be controversial, but I’d consider picking Mason at 14.
Covers a few positions, could cover for Api for 15 minutes and bring more speed around the ruck. It will probably be Tallyn though.

Not a bad idea
Can’t wait to play parra. They are horrendous right now

I think Parra has the same strengths as Newcastle did over us
Two good centres and electric fullback
If only Bula had a touch of Pappy speed, looking for a much more connection joining the backline and backing up thru the middle

If Best was on the mark with his passing and options he would have scored a couple and set some up, so I don’t think you can say he was ordinary. Even with those mistakes he still gave Faatape a bit of a lesson.

I almost read that as Seyfarth at Hooker!
But I see you swapped the numbers. Api coming back will be a big boost.
Twal isn't cutting it at Lock, so wouldn't mind seeing Seyfarth there like you suggest.

The Moses injury is a funny one. He’s had a screw put in his ankle, and he’s still getting pain. Not always, but in many cases that means the bones haven’t fused around the screw, and sometimes it never does and the pain never goes away.
Option to fix? If he plays on it and it breaks again and it could be career over; fixing a break around a screw is apparently very tough to fix.
If the pain doesn’t settle then the likely option is to re-operate to either reposition the screws or remove them all together, where there’s a risk of re-breaking the bone while getting them out.
So, not a simple situation - hats off to his agents for getting the 5 year deal done! It sounds the eels leadership have been drinking the same water as our previous CEO and chairman.

3 Toa

5 Skelton
6 Galvin
7 Luai
8 May
9 Api
10 Pole (Max 20 minutes)
11 Sam F
12 Bird
13 Twal (necessary as we need Seyfarth benched and bird is the only viable lock other than Twal, also the only viable second rower)
14 TDS (Latu hopefully given a chance to win the 6 on form by delivering in koe)
15 Hunt
16 Sione F
17 Seyfarth (high energy, smallish middle like Bird last week. This is when he look best imo)
My preference would be to have Twal in 10 and a better lock or second rower. Depth scarily bad, a HIA for Twal or powerful sneeze for Birdy and we will be back to Reuben Porter soon.

And it only took a couple of months and he was available, didn’t the donkeys sack him not long after anyway?

13 is an ongoing issue for us, primarily coz we are lacking a real ball player who can also tackle. We are treating it as an added middle and that makes us one dimensional. I thought Bird was a possible solution but judging by his use so far, coaching staff don’t see it that way.
Note that Twal offload did help set up Skeltons try but really didn’t see it again.
Watch some tapes of Yeoh and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
Swap Latu for Tallyn and we agree
Yeah, but no Toa, please. Anyone else.

Exactly. You don’t let a player walk unless you have a better replacement.

Correct. They also ran out in the second half and beat the Storm on the scoreboard. We ran out in the second half and back into the shed scoreless against a much weaker team playing like they were at their first dancing class.

I don’t disagree S but got a feeling he may be back.
