I hear Welshy is a pretty good coach.
Maybe the Eels can throw a mill at him to move over from the UK.


On Trent B. Absolutely agree. Never coached a team anywhere.

They just need to work on their edge defence. They make mistakes and then can't defend them. Spend the rest of the game trying to get back into it. I think their attack has been relatively ok.

Look at what Des and Flanno have done with the Titans and Dragons. They can defend their mistakes. Changes how the game is played.

Additionally, Trent B is probably the worst possible coach for the Eels right now. I'd sooner nominate somebody from this forum.

The goal will be for as much bye round cover as possible.

Currently thinking:
Warriors - Barnet (DPP, but misses 13 & 19)
Dragons - Eisenhuth (DPP, only miss 16)
Titans - K. Haas (Edge, only miss 13)
Titans - Clarke (DPP, only miss 13)
Dogs - Curran (DPP, miss 19)

Anyone obvious who I've missed?
Thoughts on the above. The spud may have to remain in my team for a looong time, so positional cover is a positive.

Ppm beast in the middle and first shout at edge If any centre or back rower go down... hamole could get the bench spot for nsw and his byes are good as I'm loaded for r13 players need 16s

I got a small brain for bye rounds and with the origin uncertainty I feel I should get Wishart. Not sure who to drop tho???

Robson
Smithies hopgod yeo
Angus blore
Galvin Hynes
Iro Aitken
Weekes Armstrong Garrick

Masterson plath brailey kpp
Shughs waddell Weekes Atkinson


Each player not playing 13 has value later, my r14 is 1 back short.. I can't see an obvious way to avoid not playing 13 each of thr rounds.... unless going hard on trades... got 17 left is that about par?

Tldr- pointless rant
