[Big Pete]

NRL.com took a minute to load up the team-lists and did this to me.

Cowboys: Harrison Edwards and Gehamat Shibasaki have been added to the bench.

My blood pressure nearly raised for every Cowboys fan.

Excited to see Jamal in action, wish it happened sooner when he was full of confidence and the Cows needed some energy off the bench.

There's a few U/19s popping up on the radar. Jamal Shibasaki, Kaiden Lahrs, Jaxon Purdue, De La Salle Va'a (must be going well if he's stepped ahead of his brother Xavier), Blake Steep, Casey McLean etc. McLean especially is somebody who's been killing it in juniors and looks set to take the NRL by storm.

Did the eels really put Blaize on the bench!! Man that’s crazy

Hansen too, I have always thought was a good Colts hooker for the Blackhawks.

Did the eels really put Blaize on the bench!! Man that’s crazy

He can't defend to save himself.

 

[1910]

That's weird about Va'a- Xavier is starting in Cup and De La Salle off the bench but they've picked De La Salle.

He's only played three Cup games, his brother 21.

Happy for Ethan King, he's a great kid.

 

[Bucking Beads]

He can't defend to save himself.

How does moving him to the bench help that? At least get him isn reserves so he can learn and improve. Kids his age don’t need to sit on the bench for 70 minutes

I do not want to pretend I understand the mind of one Trent Barrett.

 

[Foordy]

well, Trent Barrett is their coach

 

[JayPee]

Stop coming in on decoy runners ffs

 

[JayPee]

I have liked the look of the Eels so far. Even before that try.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Wasn’t that play a penalty against us on Magic Round???

 

[Fozz]

Just tuned in and I guess Todd Smith isn't the ref

 

[Bucking Beads]

The panthers broke the sharks!

 

[JayPee]

Eels have looked sharp. Moses makes such a big difference.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Great try!

 

[Foordy]

The next coach sacked is going to curse the fact the Moses injury put Brad Arthur on the coaching market.

 

[BroncsFan]

Parra looked a bit gassed on that last set and then some lazy tackle efforts on that try
