Rd 9: Live Game Day Thread - Eels v Sharks, Saturday 05 May

[Noise]

Last ten minutes were exciting, but there were some plays there, I had no fcking idea what they were doing. Kenny coming on in the second half, the gridiron pass, going to taka twice on last....


So many questions to be asked about a first grade side. Who knows what the underlying issues are.

Yep, plus playing Will Smith at hooker for 40 minutes

I’m not happy we’re last, I just want that on the record.

taken a snapshot of your post mate

filed it away and have on my usb stick as well as back up

After not playing him at all last week.

Did no one else see Kaysa doing what looked like a fitness test?

Am I going mental?

Smith was abysmal, don't get me wrong, I said as much several times...but I could have sworn I saw Kaysa in the background of a shot doing a fitness test.

King needs to be on the bench though, IMO

 

[Gary Gutful]

It's the longest, shittest, most pointless goodbye of all time

It's John Farnham-esque and I don't think its over yet...

Yeah strange. Last week he doesn’t get a run, and this week plays good minutes. I thought Kaysa was really solid to start the game as well. Drew one or two penalties and made meters with his darts.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Seffa Paulo MOTM.
shame on you Parra.

I didn't see it.

And even if he did he obviously passed it which means there was no reason for Will Smith to be out there derping it up for 40min

icloud ?

 

[Gazzamatta]

There is something seriously wrong when Matagi does his most powerful hit up of the match with 2 minutes to go.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Brad Arthur has lost more games than he has lost hair

Yea a very strange call to limit his minutes after he produced an 80min MOM performance last week and was close to MOM the week before

What? Seriously? How??

Fifita made 160m, 6 tackle breaks, 40 tackles himself offloaded at will....

(Pretty sure this bloke has me on ignore, but FFS, SEF??? They are drunk)

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Well the ribs were alright, and just like our team, I'm stuffed. On a positive note, we hardly made our F/A worse!

 

[Noise]

I said it before but I honestly reckon BA forgot about Kenny Edwards on the bench. He usually comes on after about 20min and we go to our proper attacking shape. We were down and needed points...No reason for Edwards to be sitting on the bench till the 50min mark

 

[JohnStoppafarty]

I did a pork belly with the ribs attached tonight. Was not bad if I do say so myself... although I have indigestion now after watching out f**ked team

where did you get that from?

I seriously don't think NRL coaches, with assistants and trainers sitting ON THE BENCH, forget a player is there. I reckon Kaysa was iffy, so that f**ked our interchange plan.

Unless, as I postulated, I'm simply going mental. But something clearly affected the interchange

 

[Bazal]

Most butchers will have it.

Oh, the indigestion? Gary and his fking semen...
