Round 22 - TLT Mighty Eels v Luke Burt's Titans

[Noise]

Laney only copped a fine. Play on!!!

For anyone interested, there is no fan event/meet & greet/signings for the GC trip.

Boys fly in Friday morning and fly back home straight after the game

If Laney and Proctor are involved in a tackle right on the goal line it might be hard for the refs to rule on subsequent tries.

You thinking they’ll both have a case of whit3 lin3 f3v3r?

Yes, that was pretty much my next post.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Maybe we really did sign him for a pie and coke.

 

[Glenneel]

I was just about to ask where this thread was.
Anyone else think Stephanie might get a call up

This would be a good game to debut him I would have thought. Think we'll need some more fire power in the finals than what the reserves have given us lately and Steph could bring that.

 

[Glenneel]

If Lane is ruled out, Marata will start and we have a bench spot spare.

How can the NRL suspend Lane without knowing substance in bag? Most probably a joke and flour or something similar. But this is Parra and they love nothing better than to bend us over.

I think you'll find that horse has already been put back into it's paddock. No suspension. I was pointing out though, that the NRL can be unpredictable in the punishments they hand out and nothing would surprise me.

 

[T.S Quint]

I think we have a chance of winning this one.

Then again, we also have a chance of losing.

 

[Gronk]

I'd like to see Stefano get a run ahead of Alvaro or Peni...

Agree that vs Titans would be a good time to blood a rookie, but you wouldn't give him a game on form. If it was on form Timmy was way better than Alphabet.

 

[Eelectrica]

I think we'll win in a tight one.
Titans have been in a position to win more games, but haven't been able to finish.

I'm getting to this one even though I hate the 6pm friday time slot for attending games. Not spectactor friendly at all.

I remember that Marata looked unremarkable in reserves last year. Good, but he wasn't dominating. Some players just need the quality around them and they slot right in. I reckon it's as good a time as any.

 

[Tooooks]

Titans scored two tries in the first 6 minutes against Storm a few weeks ago, so they can score points if you get off to a slow start.

As long as the attitude is right though, we really should win this comfortably.

Agreed. Lets face it. How much damage could he do in 7 to 10 minutes?

 

[T.S Quint]

Complete our sets. Take the opportunities when they are presented. Defend well. Build pressure and keep it on. Kick well.

Simple game plan.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I hope BA has reminded the players not to remind themselves to not be complacent, because that would reinforce the fact that this is one of the best opportunities to be complacent, and thus lead to the complacency which we are trying to avoid.

+ score more points.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Agreed. Scoring more points than we concede should give us a good shot at winning the game.

 

[T.S Quint]

+ score more points.

I’m more leaning towards conceding less points.

Either way, we should be in with a shot of perhaps coming close to maybe getting within a fifty-fifty chance of a win.

Possibly.

This game scares me. Titans are another Eels bogey team....
