There is plenty happening in Parradise this week as the Eels get a pair of reinforcements in Sean Russell and Kelma Tuilagi. The Eels are set to met their sister club and long time rivals in the Manly Sea Eagles in Round 8 – ANZAC Round – as Sixties and Forty20 break down a Team List Tuesday that features plenty of movement across the NRL, NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg.
Jaydn Su’A is officially an Eel in 2027 as the St George forward joins the club for 3-years. It marks the first important domino to fall for the Eels in recruitment and the boys discuss what he brings to the club and what role he could play on the field.
Shane Flanagan is officially out as the head coach of St George Illawarra as Dean Young takes over from him. Young has immediately make a series of ruthless calls as the show looks at first 24 hours of handiwork.
Other NRL news this includes a move to restrict contact work at training, even more major injuries across the code and a short term extension for Selywn Cobbo.
I really hope that kelma is not put back in the backrow barring injury’s.
There was a key difference around the little things in defence without him there. Kelma is a great ball runner you can’t doubt that but both him and Gideon are both incredibly poor defenders. There massive targets for teams and I think they actually create issues around them.
They both have massive amounts of work to do all around the defence side of the game before rushing them back into a starting role
