Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3245909, member: 1899"] Good hit back from the Eels. The move to the centres for Niukore has proved a master stroke so far and Isaiah Papali'i has really come of age at the Eels. They were just too good in the arm wrestle and outside of their errors they were far too good. 35-10 is a fair reflection of the game. I like the look of Greig off the bench. It's a shame the Cowboys let him slip through their grasp but after losing Utoikamanu I don't have an issue with the Eels going to market and picking up a giant of their own. He looks very likely which is important because if the Eels have a weakness it's their rotation. The Raiders look very stale at the moment. They remind of Canterbury under Hasler where they're relying too heavily on their forwards to create instead of moving the opposition around the field. I feel their backline is being exposed at the moment and the likes of Rapana, Croker, Scott and Simonsson aren't doing enough for their team. That right edge in particular was very ordinary all evening and Simonsson just seems too soft for first grade. How many injuries is that for him now? The thing is at this level they all play through some terrible injuries, if you weren't injured you weren't playing hard enough. I thought it was very revealing that his response to that mid-air collision was to stay down. [/QUOTE]
