as you said the forward make that 20 to 30 meters in 5 tackles and and generally have trouble getting into the opposition half. You can see this in the first 10 to 15 mins and it is obvious they are going to lose the game. It is hard watching them when they are so lame. Raiders game tonight was the exception. Terrible start, but came back. I thought at 16-0 down it would turn ugly. Raiders didn't score another point. Moses and Gutherson started the game ordinary, but eventually turned things around.

Stuart made me laugh, saying his team played the worst in years. Couldnt possibly say that the Eels turned there game around well and just played to well for the Raiders. He is a prick. That was good seeing the Eels come back from the dead.

Now that the Sharks lost, the top 8 is even looking better for the Eels. Top 4 would be a huge bonus and unexpecteed.

That is possible with a run home that doesn't feature any of the top 4 teams, but Parra might not show up every second game. 8 wins from 15 is not a very good winning percentage.

one thing I can say is the Eels did play very well away from Bankwest in Darwin. The first 30 mins wasnt good but the rest of the game they were great. I wonder if they will ever become an 80 min team?

I wonder if they will ever become an 80 min team? Probably not. You need a Cameron Smith type player. A great leader that can inspire the rest of the team. Tim Mannah didn't inspire anyone. LOL Not sure if Gutherson is the right leader, but he is better than Mannah.

I dont think Gutherson is the right leader, I would actually give Moses a try. He is vocal, and the responsibility might possibly add to his game. Mannah was a lousy captain.

Moses gets pumped up when he scores!! Beating the chest and screaming out loud. Good to see he shows great spirit. Might be a bit young to be leader. Maybe in a few years, if he develops into a very good player.

Are you ever really too young to be captain? I remember Phil Gould was 18 or 19 when he became captain of Penrith. I think if you are a natural leader age should not matter.

True, but the player has to be a solid player to begin with. Moses has still not entirely convinced us with his own game yet. Maybe Moses is shaking off the bad vibes and laziness from when Norman was around, which might explain his game improving all the time? Previous captains - Steve Edge 1981 - 30 years old. Was captain with the Dragons in the mid 70's. Ray Price - 1984 - 31 years old. Dean Pay - 1997 - 28 years old. Nathan Cayless - 2001 - 23 years old Tim Mannah - Never a good captain even at the age of 83 years old one day.

I get your point about Moses, I think the guy is earning good money for being average so let him earn the money he is being paid.
I think another good option for captain could be Nathan Brown, he is a very good player, dont mix this up with Dylan. I dont know that he is the answer but he is worth a try?

Parra don't have any good captains!! LOL I guess we have to stck with Gutho. I noticed USA in the World Cup final for the women's soccer. Well done!!

The USA womans soccer team are amazing, the problem is they are way to cocky. If you do get the chance to watch the final give it a go, womans soccer is much better than mens soccer.
We dont have any good captains, but what is wrong with giving Nathan Brown a go, it may work well and he may go up another level as a player?

USA convincingly beat England. Not sure about Nathan Brown. Can't be any worse than Tim Mannah. Hell, if Mannah was captain, every considered player for captain should be given a go. Maybe a 3 week trial run? The co captain idea is a good one. Leave Gutho as captain and maybe Brown for a short time.
