Where is Parramatta Eels Tom Humble?

Jarryd Hayne charged two week penalty, therefor I expected to see Tom Humble, who in my opinion has the ability to be as allusive as Billy Slater. I checked the NRL Team List brief for Rnd 7, low and behold, Luke Bert inherits the fullback duties.

* Did Tom Humble do something wrong, dropped, sacked, unfit, injured- Please explain?

    He's injured. He was interviewed for a newspaper a few weeks ago and stated that he had an injury. I think it was hamstring but can't find the link. I think he said he would be out for another six weeks and that was about two weeks ago (so probably four more weeks of rehab).

    I don't think he trained during the pre-season so when he is over his injury he'll most likely play for Wentworthville in the NSW Cup. I'd throw him in at his preferred position of halfback or five-eighth if he was fit though. He couldn't be much worse than the way Morts and Robbo play most of the time.

    And on another note, Luke Burt to fullback isn't a bad thing. He played fullback before Hayne took the position and is still one of the smartest footballers in the game. He's wasted standing on the wing for 80 minutes. I hope he has a blinder this weekend and next.

  • When he made his debut, against the Sharks. I was amazed at how quick he was off the mark. I thought he would've been a definant starter against the Titans.

    1. Burt

    2. Uaisele

    5. Atkins

    Should be:

    1. Humble

    2. Burt

    5. Atkins

    Roosters fan fan you are absolutely right - the eels are there own worst enemy - how long did we persist with eric grothe when clearly we wasn't up to first grade, we even gave him another 2 year contract when nobody would touch him.... ditto with jeff robson

    Eels can be stupid sometimes. They also put Ben Smith on the bench!
