Rd25: Parra v Roosters GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank 23/8/25

[Twizzle]

I reckon we'll can cause an upset.

anything can happen.........................................but probabaly wont

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Might not win, but think the game will be a lot closer and more competitive than many think!

Go eels!

 

[Parrapat]

Imagine if we built sustained pressure of repeat sets through forcing line goal dropouts.

Imagine it.

Imagine if we built sustained pressure of repeat sets through forcing line goal dropouts.

Imagine it.

I tried. But then I pictured hopgood dropping it on the first hit up

 

[Parrapat]

It's on us as true Blue and Gold Eels fans to tap into our collective unconscious and unite in imagining the ideal tactical responses to game situations with our Jungian collective visualisation forcing the dreamed superlative Eels world to manifest into reality, tonight at kickoff!

Parra by -36

At half-time, you mean?

 

[eels_fan]

Well at least we won’t see Moses kicking for Lomax incessantly….

 

[Twizzle]

he'll be kicking to Dunster instead, stop and think about that for a minute

I think he’ll just put that trick away…. Dunster isn’t great in the air.,

I also doubt we’ll find ourselves in the attacking half for contested bombs, 90% of Moses kicks are going to be long range metre finders when our forwards struggle to get us outside our 40m line all night

 

[Twizzle]

He's not great on the ground either, but yeah, maybe time for a rethink on the high bombs today.

 

[crocodile]

The whole chooks team to be sold off to Red Rooster for drumsticks after tonight's flogging.

 

[Chipmunk]

The Roosters have more to play for than us, they have a finals spot on the line. They're in very decent form to.

For us it's just another 2026 pre-season trial, like virtually every game has been treated this season.

No real pressure on us to do much, and I suspect we'll have a good crack, but never really look like winning the game.

I guess we're giving blokes a game to get some more NRL experience, not a lot else in it for us.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

 

[Stevie]

Hookers and Blow?

Omg maybe years ago. I’m happy with a gummy and beers and roast now

 

[Stevie]

Wait what have I missed? Lomax is out? Replaced by Dunster ???

 

[eels_fan]

Lomax is out. Replaced by either Dunster or Samrani

 

[emjaycee]

Official, rumour or Chiefy scoop?

 

[eels_fan]

Official, rumour or Chiefy scoop?

Nothing is official until 1 hour prior, but the word around the club has been since Wednesday that Lomax wouldn’t be playing.

not sure why the secret squirrel shit with team lists, annoys me actually. Just name who is playing

It would be to give the opposition less time to do homework and prepare for what might be a changed game plan.

And I actually trust Ryles to change our game plan due to who is available, rather than the chase the collision of days gone by.
