Rd5 GAME DAY THREAD: 405pm Parra v Tigers @ Commbank 6/4/26

[Chipmunk]

That sin bin call was what made the game a close contest.

That really was just one of those random situations where 99 times out of 100 no one gets injured and no one gets sin binned.

 

[Stevie]

Nope we lost that game but Gough also tucked us

THAT mother tucker!

 

[Eelogical]

4 tries to 3 with two of our top 17 gone with ACL’s, we lose our winger towards the end, our 6 (ok, no big loss), and had some sh!te calls against us.
Did I say 4 tries to 3??

I think you said mediocre goal kicking, mate.

 

[hindy111]

Possibly offside, but feels like the first one given Ina long, lomg while and it has to be Gough after the way he reffed this game.

well done, but it’s disappointing when the officiating is so poor and felt a bit obvious favouring, anyway so glad we have depth

He was 100% offside. But Williams dropped a sitter. And we didnt diffuser the short kick off. Had Bailey been on we do.
But then again if he isn't hit they dont go down to 12 and we probably dont score 2 x tries . Tbh I think the better side won

As I said , We needed them to lose a player for us to score. It’s quite pathetic really .
Thank god Luai was absent .

 

[Snoochies]

Maybe we can get Gutho back from Dragons. Be better than Pezet.

Better kickers kick those goals more often than not. We seem to miss them more often than not.

 

[hindy111]

How many outside backs do we have left? With Russell out next week and Bailey out for who knows how long, who else comes in?

Pensini should be back

 

[Suitman]

Well that's our season done and dusted, we'll be lucky to avoid the spoon from here.


Too many reserve graders in this squad. Pezet can go now his kick on the 2nd turned the game when we were well on top.

Sorry, but that's a poor take on our performance today.

 

[Eel_fan_boy]

We haven’t made any progress from last season at all. Disappointing.

That sin bin call was what made the game a close contest.

That really was just one of those random situations where 99 times no one gets injured and no one gets sin binned.

But it’s also a textbook case for why you simply can’t tackle a bloke mid air. Brian Kelly is shit, but I’m putting him in the good books for a week for firing up about it.

 

[DaveMc]

Come on Dave, you’re being a bit heavy. I haven’t had a “hard on” for bagging the Eels. I’m obsessed with the Eels, I’ve just taken a more objective view, and have realised how far we are from being a good side

I’m not bring heavy, you’re being a dickhead.

To walk away from that specific game calling the team pathetic, and fans who have said they’re proud of that effort losers, is itself pathetic. This squad is far from being a good squad, but that game isn’t an example of it. That was a really gutsy effort with a bunch of injuries and blokes playing out of position.

 

[Eelogical]

With all the injuries. We are screwed. Blood the juniors you f**kers

What young and up and coming player wants both his ACL's torn wearing a Parra strip?

 

[Eel_fan_boy]

Sorry, but that's a poor take on our performance

It was a poor performance from both teams. But we were worse than them.

 

[hindy111]

I do bag Guymer but he was very good today. He probably outplayed Tuivati. Morreti stunk it up big time. Horrible

 

[Chipmunk]

But it’s also a textbook case for why you simply can’t tackle a bloke mid air. Brian Kelly is shit, but I’m putting him in the good books for a week for firing up about it.

But he was only sin binned because he was injured. Would it have been a sin bin otherwise?

 

[Suitman]

It was a poor performance from both teams. But we were worse than them.

I disagree.

 

[Zoso]

I think you said mediocre goal kicking, mate.

I think you said mediocre goal kicking, mate.

No I think I said we were missing our No.1 as well, and lost our best centre to HIA.
And 4 tries to 3.
But no argument on the goal kicking.

 

[Snoochies]

If we didnt lose any of our players today we win. Simple, Tigers were bad. They needed us to lose 4 players and the ref to get close. Calm down.

 

[Timana]

Our whole off season program is the loser, we looked to have so much promise late last year. Now we look like a team of turnstiles

I agree. We didnt build on last year but changed
