Ok time to switch the f**k on, we are the better side and should win. Fire the f**k up
I'd love for Luai to fire. Mistakes aren't the issue from him, he simply won't pull the trigger atmParra got an easy ride today. If not for the brilliance of Ponga they win comfortably.
There are easy points on their right edge. Ferguson will have a hard time on the short kick in behind. Luai should be primed for a big game.
Newcastle's back 5 were atrocious out of their red zone. I expect we won't have any issues getting pinned down our own end. However the Eels forwards definately played a better game than our pack past night.
We were playing a much better opponent who were motivated. We defended extremely well but didn't take our limited chances. The Storm are irrelevant to this.Eels were pretty poor today. But we were probably even worse last night. Realistically we should be expecting to win this easily. But I honestly think they have more to throw at the Storm than we do anyway. They have a way of bringing Storm down to a beatable level. We just get blown off the park from them.
What's this based on? We beat them earlier this year and the second time didn't really count with so many outEels were pretty poor today. But we were probably even worse last night.

Made sense with Leota out imoOur attack is flat, move tpj to the edges. Its ridiculous that we're keeping him in the middle

It's cause your style is playing fast and your fitter and smaller forwards wear others down then trample them. But the Storm love to play fast. To beat them you need to turn it into a slow grinding game where they can't get on a roll. That takes there speedsters out of the game. It suits the Eels. We play boring. But have strong middles so can match it with sides that way.
Storm like a fast line speed and to slow you down. But they love a fast game. Turn it into a slow, stop start bash n barge is how to put them off. Fake a few injuries etc.
Parra will take you guys on in the middle. RCG is playing great. If Jnr is suspended its game over. Marata maybe also.
Blake has been great of late. Penisini is a brilliant young centre. Player for player there won't be much in it.
Penrith have better wingers and slightly better centres if Crightons there otherwise its evens. Halves in Penriths favour but it isn't like Moses/Brown aren't capable or matching them.
No Mahoney give you a huge leg up at hooker.
The only thing in Eels favour is they have won 3 in a row now and on a bit of a roll. Also no pressure.
I'm just keen to get you guys in a final. Think Jnr will be suspended?
What, like we beat Souths twice earlier this year?What's this based on? We beat them earlier this year and the second time didn't really count with so many out
No we flogged them so it's well within our capabilities. Also we CAN beat Melbourne. Just saying we have the talent and its possibleWhat, like we beat Souths twice earlier this year?
Does this mean you play Hindy . We might have a chance us Penrith battlers against you eels and your flash stadium .the rich eels against the battling panthersYes unfortunately. Shoulder charge to head. Only defense can be Lane pushed him towards. But I would lean towards 3 weeks
