What kills me about tonight's game is the complete lack of go-forward. Fair dinkum we struggle to make 30m on most sets of six.

Unfortunately our 5th tackle options on the rare occasions we were attacking were diabolical.

I know it was wet, but good players score the match winners. Bloody Chris Walker couldn't finish a regulation put-down. I need to calm down now.

we lost becuase of two reasons;

our halfback cannot kick
the ref made sure all the 50 to 50 calls went against us.

Got to give the balls credit they tried very hard and could have let in a few tries except for good defence

We just couldnt get out of our own end, we sturggled big time there. We can get into position to score but our execution is terrible

I've got a couple of die-hard eels fans for mates and I'm actually starting to feel sorry for them!It wouldn't surprise me if they don't turn up for work on Monday considering how much they cop each week by their work mates.

We lost because we deserved to. Waited too long to try anything and the u'9 mentality of pass the ball to Hayne and watch him go will win us the spoon

They also did a great job of shutting Hayne down by getting up on him quickly. We proved we had no plan b. How about cutting him out for once and get someone else to do some work

What 5th tackle options do we have when it gets passed to our 7, none.

No pressure ,coupled with his slow crab like moves cross field, no wonder we were desperate to get a replacement

Shouldn't you be off playing with firecrackers or watching porn or something.

Our backrowers and wingers contribute zero to go forward.

out dummy half play was a bit crook as well.

We tried and weren't abysmal but you won't play against many weaker attacking teams than that

Game of the year :sarcasm:

I thought the Eels were unlucky with some of the calls at the ground, especially the one against Moi Moi that led to the 2 points (hit him on the chest and slid up) although there were a few shitty calls for the Knights too.

Good luck next week..

Refs were rubbish , and anyone who was looking for a repeat of the fast pace game v sharks is kidding themselves. The boys did fairly well under atrocious conditions and whilst the errors were disappointing and indeed costly , they were understandable . I was in the eastern stand and watched the constant drizzle from the south , it couldn't have stopped for any more than 10 minutes at the most throughout the entire game.
Disappointed and upset at the result , but not with the effort the boys put in. some of the passing rushes and offloads were safe AND effective. They just didn't have the composure to finish it off when they needed to.

Defended welll-attacked poorly.....
We are realy missing to many first graders. on an already paper thin squad-What is everyone expecting.
Our backs dont have a decent hit up in them-Look at wes and uate.there runs are so damaging.
We miss grothe badly
