He's been named in the reserves after 3 weeks out so sounds injury related to me.
Otherwise he would have been dropped to the reserves 3 weeks ago
Kearney probably feels team has gone ok over the last 2 games he's put
Herbert in reserves for some match time.
Also lets
Herbert know that missed tackle was not ok and your not a fixed item in first grade yet.
Brings him back down to earth and rids any thoughts of complacency that may have been setting in.
Good example of player developement / management. There's a few in the team thats been through the process,
Maumalo being a good example.
My 2 cents worth anyway...
I think we have better go forward in our forward pack then the eels. Shaun Lane will be a big loss for them
Waqa Blake coming in gives them a better balanced back line but they are missing Ferguson
The Eels are a bit like the Warriors in some ways in that when they are bad they are bad
If we can dominate the middle we will win this game.
