Rd6: Eels v Raiders GAME DAY thread @ Cbus Stadium 17/4/21

[lucablight]

Will Smith needs to put the kicking boots away. Two awful kicks to just hand over possession when the Eels were in an attacking opportunity.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Will Smith. DONT F'N KICK THE BALL.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

LOL bloody fresh prince strikes again! Anyways pretty good half although I feel like we should be further ahead. Hopefully Cummins can remember that opposition teams can get 6 agains in the second half!!

 

[strider]

Who kicked just before halftime? We needed to spread it

He learnt it at Penrith

The difference between the sides is Canberra go on the attack nearly every set.
We seem to be happy just rolling forward and waiting for a chance. We need to open up and start playing a bit more footy. Canberra are probing and if we don't strike first they'll put 2 or 3 very fast tries on us.

Will Smith. Another dumb footballer

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Raiders are wrestling the shit out of the ruck on the 5th knowing the ref is too gutless to call a restart.

They did it too often to not be a tactic!!

ref is shit

 

[muznik]

She called that forward pass and was overruled by the ref who is a confirmed f**kwit.

Yep. I have to apologise to Mrs Badger. I may have incorrectly questioned her ability.
It seems she got it right but Cummins is hell bent on manipulating the game.

 

[hindy111]

Yes. The kick in 3rd even though was good was at a poor time. 2 mjns to go and us on the attack.

 

[Chipmunk]

Strong first half from both sides really.

We seem to be playing pretty patiently and conservatively in the hope the Raiders make some errors. I think that's a bit if wishful thinking, but we'll see where it ends.

No confident from here.

 

[JokerEel]

Every tackle Hodgson had his arm around the ball but no 6 again call...

Yay we are going to be screwed by the official in the middle again...

Na we are going back to our power game, run hard up the middle make metres, kick well, wait for errors.

raider are going wide as we a winning the ruck, they have no choice

we are playing smart

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Why is Will Smith kicking?

Probably got told not to do anything risky. So he goes and does something equally dumb.

Why wouldn't we do it?

He does it every f**king game ... refs never seem to wanna call it ..... he seems to be the king of, "oh my arm is stuck"

 

[Soto]

He’s told us around a dozen times we’re milking.

He's on a retainer from Canberra Milk...honestly this bloke is a very ordinary ref. Has given us nothing, overruled a blatant fwd, keeps saying milking when we're attacking, yet calling our players to get off. Has given us 1 six again call but numerous to them and a few penalties...be nice if he reffed evenly and fairly...too much favouritism to the roiders

 

[hybrideel]

Rapana dead set played the ball 5 metres off the mark 2 tackles before their 2nd try

 

[yy_cheng]

That's it for me for will bloody Smith

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Why wouldn't we do it?

cause we can’t even get away with it on the 1st....

 

[JokerEel]

There was 1 time he looked at the ref to say his arm was stuck and it was just hanging there at the front of the Eels player..

Like seriously if the player gets up with his arm on the ball it's 6 again .
