Rd13: EELS v Cowboys GAME DAY THREAD @ Fortress Commbank 26/05/23

[Poupou Escobar]

I notice everything, and the fact u are happy he wasn’t driven back (which he was) just validates my comment, though with u there is no middle ground it’s either pous way or no way, such an arrogant comment regarding fans not noticing!!!!! by the way I see gutho and other senior players often have a crack at the dumb shit sivo does, maybe ur not as observant as u think u are, anyway whatever I wait for the usual arrogant retort

I'm not the one claiming "I notice everything".

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Instead we discover now that they more than capable off handling first grade.

They finally had a go in the pre-season.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Watch the Dolphins come

Everyone needs backups, even them.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Overall Hands is performing better but his service is worse.

How good was this pass after Cartwright's break:
If Hodgson threw that pass merkins would've called for him to be lynched.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Emu - didn’t bend the line until his second stint.

The opposition's defence is always softer in the second half. Must be because Brendan Hands give such great service.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I saw him for one game in NSW CUP.

Well the club decision makers saw him last year too. It's a more reliable sample.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I don't think so. Reality is he did nothing last year due to injuries. And he wasn't available untill rnd 11 which he would of known. Maybe he felt he should of been given a top 30 spot before the club signed those pidegons?

Why should he have gotten a top 30 spot over blokes with NRL experience? As you said, his form last year was poor.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

he's a bit small but seems to be a workhorse

Plus his legs are fast.

 

[the phantom menace]

8 in a row, must be a new record...?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

8 in a row

But who's counting

I'm not the one claiming "I notice everything".

The ref was terrible but gee the bunker (Klein?) shits me. At the end whist reviewing who made the ball dead, how did he not see that Moses was tackled without the ball after he kicked it?

Thought the same thing Moses kicked it twice and was tackled after the kick..

 

[Eelogical]

Is everyone happy with the current ‘advantage’ rule when the ball gets turned over to the opposition. From what I can gather it’s up to the ref to decide how long to let play go before making a decision. There was one instance in last night’s game where I found the decision questionable and it was in our favour. Overall, it needs to be looked at.

We didn't make any meters it was all sideways.

We didn't make any meters it was all sideways.

It shouldn’t matter. We had it, ran and passed and made a meal out of it.

 

[JokerEel]

It shouldn’t matter. We had it, ran and passed and made a meal out of it.

So how is that an advantage?

If the ball travels towards the opposition 5m or it's next next tackle then it's advantage over.

Agree. We took our advantage together and tried to score

Mate, any time. I live in Freo but happy to drink in Scarbs. Most of my work mates live around there. I actually watched last week’s Panthers game in Varsity Innaloo. They wouldn’t let us have the sound on though.

Actually down your neck of the woods tonight Poupou. Son in laws 30th. You may be familiar with it. The Left Bank. Watched the Bunnies get beat, no sound, but gold anyway.

It happens to me every time I’m here in Perth I feel like it’s midnight past my bed time and it’s just going on 8.30pm. My 62 years is really catching up with me.

 

[JokerEel]

No we didn't going by the rules

So instead of promoting positive play let's promote negative play
