Greg Eden : Mon Apr 20, 2015 1:50 pm  

For those who are interested on how he will fare down under (I suspect many wont) then here are some highlights of him playing for Manly-Wynnum Seagulls in the Queensland cup comp. Interesting playing against the Papua New Guinea team that are also in the comp, but no Maki or Paneau. Eden is number 5 for the team in green https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56VwWx-vMPM

I also have a friend who has managed to catch a dozen or so PNG Hunters games and reckons they could easily cope in the Super League over here.

I heard the opposite. Wayne Bennett apparently likes wingers who make mistakes because it enables a test of character in how they respond.

All coaches like every player to make mistakes, and often, it means they don't have to do midweek defensive training because its done during a match.

More to the point, how is it that NRL reserve grade have video refs and SL can only manage to provide them for 2 or 3 games per week?

They showed a 5 minute profile of him, in a zoo, on premier sports. His team mates stitched him up and got him to ask about 'drop bears'

About as riveting as any player interview I guess. Was interesting to see how he is getting on

Is his hair ok in that humidity? I worry about it.

Re: Greg Eden : Wed Apr 22, 2015 6:30 pm  

I didn't play close attention to his hair, but if they replay it, it will have my full focus
