[fatal1]

interesting...

 

[Mustang]

i like it toooooo

 

[LG]

good to see o'meley is playing

i can't wait to see how Namila Davui goes

 

[atomic_crimson]

what bout dallas? wouldnt he a better option over morrin

 

[KENNY-DOWALL]

I'd like to see what Davui has got in him

Alot of you have given big wraps on him

he is a awesome attacking player but his defence is very questionable

 

[Aaron]

As people have said, his speed and attack will help us but he will have to do a lot of work in defence during the week.

 

[Hammer]

what bout dallas? wouldnt he a better option over morrin

I thought Morrin played pretty well against the Roosters

 

[masters]

Good to see Folkesy giving the young players a go. It will be handy for the future.
Willie Mason to share the goalkicking with Omelley

 

[Mustang]

he is a awesome attacking player but his defence is very questionable

hes always got SBW on his side he can help him(defenswise and attackwise)

 

[LG]

hes always got SBW on his side he can help him(defenswise and attackwise)

actually i disagree sbw is a great tackler but has made some poor defensive decisions in the centres.

he just needs to get use to that position more

 

[cljunior]

yeah, great to see O'Meley names in the side, US said his condition wouldn't be known till towards the end of the week, so let's hope he doesn't pull out mid week.

 

[Haztrick]

Im not as worried about Davui's defence because SBW is inside of him and SBW is a great defender and always puts in the hard work. Im sure Davui isn't THAT BAD of a defender anyway.

 

[smarty]

i have a bad feeling they'll target davui and it will be a disaster.. (for us)

 

[Haztrick]

They always target the wingers.

 

[JayBee]

Didnt we get Davui from the Parrascum team? Im prety sure we did. Not really good signs. The eels would recognise him defensively, and i think they will be running passages down that side. Could turn out to be a real blunder. Lets hope Folkse knows what he is doing. For mine...I think the eels could come away with the win here. If they hold onto the ball they will be too strong for us

 

[kennyy]

Davui came from Norths but i'm not sure if he was anywhere else earlier..

and also it can't be that bad of a sign, andrew ryan and willie tonga came from parra
