Cherry-Evans has made a fantastic start to the year. He's just kicking Manly to victory and he's been so reliable for them. Whenever they appear to lose their way, he gets them back on track and they play off the back of his kicking game.
The Eels desperately miss Mahoney, Lane and Papalii. They've always been a team that lives and dies by the sword, but they're missing the qualities those players brought. Mahoney's tenacity, Lane's reliability and Papalii's versatility it just complimented the team so well.
I'd hate to talk up one of Wolfie's prospects, but they also miss Opacic. Tom was the ultimate team player who made those around him better. A kick was only as good as it's chase and Tom 9/10 was always on the spot. Blake & Simonsson are freak athletes and on their day they're good to watch but their heads aren't in the game.
They've been in every game so far the Eels and could have easily walked away 3-0, but find themselves 0-3. It's a long season and they'll get their opportunity to strike back during the Origin season. The last thing they need to do is panic - they just need to remind these what their roles are and what they need to do for one another.
