It does when your mid field and the 7 takes control. This happened alot tonight and Lewis is incredibly slow and stifling, especially when we play short without depth for most of the game as its easier to coach... Results in us having no time and space, which means no overlapsThe number they wear on their back means nothing these days. Nothing will change at all.
To be honest I don’t think we win with cogger. But we would test the defence more. Besides one lollipop pass Lewis did that got a play down the right and maybe an inside ball to dwz for a break he had no half qualities. His midfield bombs aren’t the worst. But even his boot isn’t great.
Lewis lovers will flock to his defence. But the amount of ball we had. Any semi decent half would have gotten a try on the board. We didn’t come close. Just hope Lewis isn’t a protected species because he can tackle. Because last I checked a half should lead the team around the park in attack. Not be a solid defender.
I absolutely agree. The less time Lewis has with the ball the better. He absolutely overplayed his hand with his touches.It does when your mid field and the 7 takes control.

Should the eels get rid of their halves? They couldn’t create anything either.The number they wear on their back means nothing these days. Nothing will change at all.

Parramatta won. So I guess that is a tick they they actually got the points no?Should the eels get rid of their halves? They couldn’t create anything either.
Lewis was ok for first hit out but he definitely needs to work with wakeham and not against him
Not a cogger fan boy. But he plays more like a half. Engages the line. Attracts defenders. And because of that gives space and time to his outside men. Cogger is not the second coming of god. Far from it. But he has basic traits of a half. Can engage the line. Can set up his players. Can break the line and score. Can dummy. Has the vision with his short kicking game. He isn’t a gun by no means. But is a basic half. Which is more then Lewis is.I don't think Cogger will do much better... He went missing in the trials and based on what I've seen from him I doubt he wouldve done any better tonight. I reckon we just need an experienced player like a Blake Green or Kimmorley to guide the team and partner Wakeham.
Yes I agree both played in there opposite positionsSuch a proud effort tonight but proud efforts don't bring you 2 points.
We need more in attack, some spark which I think Wakeham could bring.
Defence was great, commitment was great.
Even Cooper Cronk and Ennis were saying he needs more strings to his bow, kid is slow, can't think quick on his feet, can't play Whats in front of him and therefore also stifles Wakehams game too..
Those high kicks is all he has, he is a 1 trick pony. Kid has guts and tries hard but not FG half material and unfortunately we have an even worse coach who will just leave him there
Surprised everyone? With the same lack of attack, game plan and bench rotation?Didn’t pay drop him last season?
And didn’t everyone think pay wouldn’t pick wakeham to start in first grade?
I think your being harsh on pay he has suprised everyone on here and isn’t afraid to drop a player.
Not being harsh at all. He has proved for 3yrs running he doesnt know how to pick a team, use the bench or cultivate talent.Didn’t pay drop him last season?

You can't talk truth on here, especially about pay the dud.Not being harsh at all. He has proved for 3yrs running he doesnt know how to pick a team, use the bench or cultivate talent.
Our poor attack over last 3yrs hasnt changed. Except for 2 late end of season runs he has been really really poor
It's frustrating, i sit here and wonder what games these fans have been watching for last 3yrs.You can't talk truth on here, especially about pay the dud.

Last night for example, effort and defence was amazing , but we couldnt score in a brothel. So so so obvious Lewis has no attacking skills, has only 1 kick in his arsenal, can't setup tries, is slow, has no running game, no vision yet he had his hands on thr ball most of the time.
There was no attacking game plan except for 5 hitups and Lewis belting it high straight to fb.
I could go on and on and on about other players and their selections... he had all off season to prepare and this was the attacking rubbish that was dished out..
