Rd1: GAME DAY THREAD 8pm Parra v Storm in Melbourne - 5/3/26

[Soto]

Putting our blue and gold glasses away

Did we think Iongi played for a penalty?

TBH, and IMO looked like he got hit in the head quite mildly. though like to see the replay again..

Copped bicep/shoulder to the head...it doesn't matter its reckless. Penalty minimum. So how does someone go to HIA without it being an illegal hit??? The NRL are going to punish us all yr.
Plus we don't help ourselves with our panic plays..
Dumb dumb dumb stuff
And we waited all off season for this...
I still dont understand how Grant is ever allowed to run...that is just shit game awareness

 

[The Predictor]

Pezet is so slow

No running threat with him at all

And pencil legs

 

[Soto]

But he came from Melbourne so he must be brilliant . Let’s not forget he only wanted to use us as an AirBnb on his way north.

I wouldve played Joash way ahead of him...its actually brain dead stuff playing this impostor

 

[Eelogical]

Penisini no brain man

Are you saying that he's a dickbrain?

 

[JokerEel]

Junior has been pretty bad and now we had to bring on Joash we cant play Sam do we will need more game time from him...

 

[Delboy]

By the way, Pezet has been a liability, is he playing scared due to the sledging. No,passing game, no running game and that’s about it.
The Storm big 3 are dominating , but those 6 agains in the first 10/15 really took their toll. Still don’t understand the nothing to see here head shot on Iongi, then the blind bunker official passes on that it’s caused a HIA.
Then there’s the commentary, basically Storm cheerleaders with Alexander there .

 

[hindy111]

Our hookers are letting Moses down

Moses had to calm the side down and play patient. Thats the halfbscks job. Take control. Hes been garbage

 

[TheCrowe]

I didn't think Vlandys would take his vengeance......yet just been some horrific calls in favour of the scum.
Not even trying to hide it.

 

[JokerEel]

The first try was set up by Pezet squaring up on Hughes.

They have attacked his side though as he and Kelly are not the best defensive players...

 

[Chipmunk]

Having wasted an interchange with Papali'i and Storm able to use 5 interchange players, we'll do well to limit Storm to less than 50 by the end unfortunately.

Release the Vlandys files!!!

Dont understand the hype of Pezet, thought he was nothing great in Melbourne


HT
Melb 18-4

Get Lorenzo in.
Stefano has murdered us

I imagine lorenzo comes in before origin and pezet develops in cup

 

[T-Boon]

I think the club agreed to play storm in round 1 again next season as well.

 

[Jake the snake]

Moses had to calm the side down and play patient. Thats the halfbscks job. Take control. Hes been garbage

The bloody two no.9 can even deliver the ball to him. They are pathetic. Riley smith is overrated

 

[Parrapat]

Points in our favour that contextualise the scoreline:

Played with a man down for 10 minutes for a dubious sin-bin which was clearly a head clash and not a shoulder

Scum first try on the back of a six again on the fifth followed by a penalty and another 6 again.

Scum got 2 x 6 agains on the last tackle meaning 2 x 12 tackle sets. Eels 6 agains and penalties were on first tackle and seemingly just square ups for the post match count back.

Harry Grant try the Scum player of the ball took out the markers, should have been a penalty to eels.

Abysmal ball control from Eels possibly from overcompensating for clearly one-sided refereeing.

Eels look the better team in attack but immaturity resulting in lack of composure under Scum niggle. We need to learn that the ref will always favour scum and we have to withstand the one sided penalty storm.

Want to see Ryley Smith get the little things right in the 2nd half and not over-play his hand.

 

[senior]

All our passes are going to legs

f**k is wrong with our passing today

 

[85 Baby]

And unsurprisingly the infringement calls are basically even 7-6 Scum

 

[Parrapat]

Yeah he was playing for the penalty and he should have got one

Agree.

Im putting a line through him already
I want to be proven wrong
