Better luck next game

 

[Y2Eel]

Well Hayne will get 3 Dally M points..

 

[Jason Maher]

The call on Morgan was the worst. Plus no penalties to Parra in the last half an hour. Fix was on.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well done doggies, eels can join broncs now and have an early break

We've still got Knights and Raiders, albeit both away.

Two more wins might be enough, might not.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

All in all a good game with a very decent crowd.

 

[Martin Bella's Luvhandles]

Parra are gorn won't beat manly and they'll be f**ked after that

 

[Loose Cannon]

Everyone complaining about the refs on that 40/20, consider the touchie hasn't even marked the spot. Rules are there for a reason. Quick tap is a shit rule, but it was enforced correctly.

 

[TheFrog]

A 40/20 does not entitle a team to score a try. Gould said it, and so did Trent Robinson a month ago.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I'm an Eels fan and we were not robbed, we were not clinical enough with the footy. I thought we were the better team but we can only blame ourselves for derping ourselves out of the two points.

Dogs deserve credit for their defence. Plus they also scored three tries.

 

[skeepe]

Agree the refs were okay but there was nothing between the teams. It was three tries each, decided by a missed sideline conversion.

No I agree, I meant the Dogs were slightly better. The Eels had chances, just lost their heads a little.

If your coach blames the refs, it will be disappointing. There are some good lessons the Eels can take out of this if they're smart enough to learn from it.

Really good game of footy.

Yep but all we will hear about is the 40/20 rule

 

[Game_Breaker]

Get rid of the quick tap after the 40/20, it's a stupid rule

 

[Usain Bolt]

Sandow was 5m away from the actual mark and he never ever tapped the ball correctly either

 

[Y2Eel]

This! Nothing to do with ball boy, sandow never tapped it.


Well done doggies, eels can join broncs now and have an early break

Good try we still in it unlike your mob, Go the 2 time spooners!

 

[Jason Maher]

How do explain only one team being awarded any penalties in the last half an hour skeepe?

 

[0neye]

doggies are on fire gf here we come @_=

 

[skeepe]

How do explain only one team being awarded any penalties in the last half an hour skeepe?

I can't recall anything that stands out as something that demanded a penalty that wasn't given.

The refs let the boys play and decide the result, surely that's what we want to see?

 

[DOGSvsEELS]

toutai is a f**kin reserve grader at best! he already cost parra a game a few weeks ago, how the f**k is he picked again after that shit.

norman is average as f**k & can't kick for shit! would rather have kelly at 6 or even swap hoppa to 6 & norman to centre. they need some better outside backs, hoppa & toutai did jack shit on the right side.

these refs were a joke tonight, some shocking decisions. cummings is a piece of shit!

don't know why the dogs are so happy, they beat a very average parra & got a lot of penalties in the first half.

btw that ball boy is a f**kin genius.

 

[MrAnonymous]

Was one of the best game i have seen this year, game flowed, was nice to watch.

 

[Son of Minto]

btw that ball boy is a f**kin genius.

Alright.
