Risks to either approach I suppose. Either way, I anticipate we won't have much issues tonight.

Referee showing bias, much, for the Eels first try.
I'd really like to see Meaney's so called strip again...

It really looks like the ref has been told to let the Eels win for Gutho after watching that opening.

Bellyache looks very uncomfortable with our start. Can't say I blame him, we have been dreadful so far!!

20 mins in and We have turned up expecting to win. Difference between this week and last is chalk and cheese. Suspect a decent blast at half time.

We simply don’t have a consistent enough defence or forward performance to show up with this kind of attitude.

So, how far are you allowed to drive a player backwards?

Head to head contact, on report because you rushed out. WTF?

Nate Miles could never play in today's game.

Been a funny sort of game - I think the eels have played well, we really haven’t looked our best but the scores will say otherwise

Both with some tired defensive mistakes late however.

Ashley Klein would be proud of that refereeing performance. Absolutely putrid.

Gutherson should have been in the bin more than once for holding down a player after a line break.
