Rnd 1 2020 Eels v Dogs BankWest Stadium - Game Day Thread

[Mr Parramatta]

Surely it’s the tactics???

They didn’t work tonight then.

 

[Avenger]

We lead the comp and have the best for and against. What a time to be alive.

It actually is. That was a very long off season and I must say I severely missed my Eels and talking shit with my brothers here.

May you all live to 100 and acquire at least one bitcoin.

And Terepo dropped 2 balls, by my count...

 

[Dibs]

You forget they played a depleted Dogs, most other teams would have murdered us!!!

Did he forget? Seems like that was irrelevant to his comment

Zero according to the stats?

Corona virus the season now .... we win muthaf**kers

They have barely worked in 7 years.

Really?

I could have sworn I saw him drop at least 2...

Maybe I confused him with Niukore?

What Terepo DID do, at least once, was come rushing out of the line, and miss the tackle, though....

Oh don't get me wrong, if he had zero errors as per the early stats, he also still had zero positive impact IMO

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Big Laney was bloody quality imo

He missed a horrible tackle that lead to the
Linebreak. Would rather Oregon get a run.

Pick of the forwards for mine.

Dylan Brown criticism is a bit weird. Never got the footy over Moses until the back end, when he looked pretty good. And he made 22 tackles without a miss.

Wasn't very involved (and through no fault of his own IMO) but hardly poor

I like Drown but if you’re a half and not getting involved, you need to make sure your touches count. Tonight, his were ordinary and when it was all on the line late in the game and he needed to take possession of a loose ball, he muffed it. He shouldn’t have been fatigued and I thought that was a poor play.

Im sure he’ll be better for the run but it was an ordinary night out for him.

Yep. Really couldn't care that it was ugly as sin. Just happy to have the footy back and grab the points.

The eels are poorly coached and you all are dreaming if you believe that Brad Arthur can win the premiership.

He has recruited a premiership winning team, I give him that, but he cannot lead this team to glory.

They just dont have, and never have had that professional feel and sharpness in their game, the way the top sides have. It feels like BA is trying to be mates with them.

Just my opinion.

He wasn't great, I agree.

But he's a kid, getting overcalled by Gutho and Moses, and he defended better than half our forwards. And his touches at the back end were good.
