Week 2 final v Storm

[Eelogical]

Tips

Gus in his podcast tipped the Eels.

In the Freddy and the Eight vodcast, Joey tipped the Eels. Freddy tipped Storm.

Freddy is the only one out of those three who's opinion I'd respect. However, I'm going with Gus and Joey.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Gus and Joey think we will win by slowing them down and getting into the grind. Freddy thinks we will piss it away by trying to play open football.

no wonder you are into mature types

When Arthurz first got hold of us he tried to turn is into a ruthless grinding Melbourne style team and it was a f**king disaster.

Thank f**k he woke up to his senses, even if @hindy111 hasn't.

That was all our roster was capable of at that time.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Not sure why it has been suggested you either grind or play expansion footy.

I reckon we can do both.

I see grinding, as us completing our sets without errors and kicking well.

However during our sets we still play our normally attacking game. That is normally a few offloads in our own half, occasional set play and go the short side if we have an over lap.

We don’t play that adventurous coming out of our own half. It’s just when we do get an offload away we are very good at the receiver spreading it wide where there is potentially an over lap.

Also with “grinding” we need to be patient attacking their line. Try to get a drop out.

Despite a couple of losses, our defence has been sublime last 7 weeks. No one has managed to score more than two tries in that period. So going the grind we will be fine, Doubt Storm are gonna try anything razzle dazzle .

Guys like Alvara and Tepai have stepped up big time last couple of weeks. Throw in meanies NBrown, Lane , Mau'u, Paulo and the return of Kane Evans I see no reason why our forwards cant at least match theirs.

At home Gold Coast led the Storm at half time, they lost to the raiders twice recently. Munster may not be 100%, their wingers are not playing with confidence

It was 0-0 after 12min v Broncos before hell broke out. We may need to go 0-0 for 30min this time before trying to cut loose

One thing in our favour is the support at the ground, there will be huge Parra support, something the Storm wont be used to at their home ground. Wouldn't be surprised at all if it was 50-50

Maybe. I reckon we were capable of doing a bit more with the pill but A knows better than me.

Grinding is a shit word. I should have chosen a different one. I am just referring to expansive v direct.

You cant beat Melbourne playing like them. They are too good at it. You have to play your own game and play it very well. We should have beaten them in 2017. And if everyone remembers we played a good mix that day. If it was for the refs we would have gone through

I wonder if Twizz has bought extra bandwidth for the weekend.

They'll need it to run all those f**king ads!

 

[hindy111]

They'll need it to run all those f**king ads!

Not even posting on a footy forums free from adds these days hey.

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

Weatherzone app is saying no rain for the next two days and temps in the mid-20s, followed by 1-5mm on Saturday.

If that is true then the ground might be a little slippery but it won't be a wet track. It will allow us to play the way we like to play.

Let's f**king go smash those merkins!!!

Most must have voted for their preferred result. Real Eels supporters would never be even remotely that confident.

Completely off their heads.
Eels by 12+ obviously!

And we had a ringworm outbreak at club?
