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

Papali'i has very high hair. But it's not stupid hair. I think that could be vital.

very interesting! @Poupou Escobar can you get us the stats on high hair win percentage??

Grieg is going to be a decent pick up once he gets his fitness up...will be a weapon after a offseason.

Hipgrave/Kaufusi had huge games kept us in it when our starting middles went off!!

The acquisition of all the off season recruits has been great. I’m also still optimistic about Cartwright.

So happy with this win.

I do like carty but needs to be more controlled

 

[Soto]

Massive difference actually having punch and impact off the bench...last weeks bench was the worst bench possible. Honestly with a full team we probably one of the best benches in the comp..

This papa can play too. Never noticed him and didn’t rate the signing, as anything special. Can’t recall a signing having such a huge impact in so few games in eels colours. The sky’s the limit for him.

Its funnier we gave them Evans. But also we most likely got him due to Stefano going.

 

[yy_cheng]

Papa said he prefers the middle

He just isn't in our best 17 if all are fit.

 

[Avenger]

So when does Cotric join???c'mon spill the beans

Won’t be this season, mate.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Still making them drink great northern I see. Where's the f**ken RLPA?

 

[yy_cheng]

Marata did some good runs

 

[Happy MEel]

Holy shit...we finally did it.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Holy shit...we finally did it.

AMBUSH!!!!

Best win in a long time..against all odds, against the crowd, the ref blunders. Dusted it off and kept going at them.
I know Lane had a few errors and many detractors but his 2nd half was very good. Good to see him running straight lines.
Moses was excellent tonight.
Nuikore was immense and Papali'l he is exceptionally good. Part bear part human...what a machine. Can't wait to see Wiremu get fit. He will be a massive wrecking ball.
Our middles laid the platform and the team followed...big congrats to the players and coaching staff

 

[Gronk]

Id put that down as our best win I have seen in a long time.

I’d put that down as the best win since we beat Storm.

 

[Suitman]

Geez some of you lot are harsh on our players!
All I've read all week is that we are shite in Canberra and never win there, which has an element of truth about it.
But, for once we put in some serious effort and go into HT leading, yet, all I read is criticism of our players and the ref (which has been somewhat warranted re the ref).
Seriously, a bit more positivity wouldn't go astray.
f**king great half in my eyes. We are up for this fight.
Nuikore has been a beast tonight.
I'd like to see a few more offloads myself. I think the Faiders are vulnerable to 2nd phase play.
However, what we are doing is working.

Picked it. We did both.

Some of the officiating was absolutely average. Hopefully with this win the team gains confidence in winning matches where they’re outsiders or got their back against the wall. Huge win, in Canberra

 

[Soto]

Won’t be this season, mate.

...would be a great Fergo replacement on that right wing nxt yr..
Opacic has been solid without being outstanding but all he needs to do is his job and he has not let anyone down..love the fact he doesn't shirk responsibility, runs good lines and very sound defender..extend him now

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

I called it. Congrats to the team.

 

[strider]

BA looks a bit cold .... dont wear shorts ffs

 

[Sphagnum]

Savage beating of sticky’s boys. Who is he gonna blame this week, the useless merkin?
