Rd17: Parra v Warriors GAME DAY thread (6/9/20)

[I'm a loser baby...]

You can paint it any way to Sunday, we're done for this year. I'm being realistic, we aren't up to scratch based upon what I've seen over the last couple of months. We can sugarcoat it all we want.....akin to putting lipstick on a pig.

Mmmmmmm... sexy bacon.

 

[Eelogical]

its round 17 - there are no moral victories - you either get the 2 points or not

Tough game.
Warriors in great form.
Our attack was average at times
Our defence however was extremely good. They scored 3 try’s that were all flukey in some way.
Hard to watch at times but that’s exactly the sort of game we would have lost last year.
Oh and I still hate Adam Blair with a passion. Dirty dog merkin

Take it to the 'what's for dinner thread'.

Our attack looks clueless and I think on Fox they said we’re 15th in attack since round 10.

na our attack looked good when we actually complete a few sets in a row...

 

[Gary Gutful]

Plop...But effective Plop. It will be enough to cement a Top 4 and make it to the preliminary finals.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Moral victory for the Warriors, mental loss for the Eels. Personally, I gained no satisfaction from that win. We still have flat footed attack, sus defence, and won that one with the rub of the green. An Eels supporter doesn't live to 110...FFS!

Panthers / roosters also only won by 6 over the warriors in the last few weeks.

if we are going so crap why wouId we be expected to defeat the warriors better than the 2 comp favourites....

Chocolate Soldiers are due for a loss and will not want to go into the finals on the back of a ridiculous winning streak. Slipperys are specials for this one, get on it @ 2.75 and thank me later by way of fiscally appreciative gestures, merkins.

I'm curious. What makes a team 'due'?

 

[Eelementary]

Tougjh luck warriors. We were lucky with that sin bin. Pretty much the difference.
We're not playing like a top 4 team, yet here we are.

I don't know if it was lucky - Tevaga clearly threw a punch at Brown.

Granted - I haven't watched the game yet, only the highlights, but it's clear as day.

I googled it:

due
/djuː/
adjective

1. 1.
   expected at or planned for at a certain time.
   "the Panther's are due for a f**ken loss"

 

[Wally21]

I would really like for young field to kick on, but he went missing. His defence was extremely lazy at times.
Thought W Blake had his best game since the Panthers game.
Sivo is so f**king lazy. He makes my blood boil

Congrats on your new boy Eele!
And yes, it’s the rules and the dog threw a punch. End of story

Yep, Blake actually went looking for work today and did some great hit ups to help get us out of our own end.

Thanks, mate!

We love him to bits, but he's hard work!

But I know every parent says, and feels, the same.

He's worth the sleepless nights, and all the anxiety - he's a sweet boy!

I heard on the radio, on the drive home to watch the final 10 minutes, that Reed Mahoney is injured - a shoulder injury, I think they said?

That's horrible!

Peter Sterling was singing his praises in the match highlights.

 

[Gronk]

Good game vs a very determined and worthy in-form opponent.

We wanted a win, improvement in attitude, defence and attack.

We’re coming third with three games to go (playing 1st, 15th and 9th). We’re a good chance to win 2 of those and will finish the year top 4.

Who knows, we might even shake off the klunk and scrape by the Pennys.

I’ll leave the negative stuff to the rest of you.

They always are hard mate, but the most rewarding thing you’ll do in your life. Watched my 12 year old lad play soccer this morning. He can’t play for shit, but tried his guts out and made his old man very proud!!

That's amazing, mate! I hope he helped his team to a win!

So are you saying we are a chance????
