2017 Finals Wk2 - Eels v Cowboys (GAME DAY THREAD)

[hindy111]

I don't agree.

To say we choked is a massive cop out to the Cowboys, and they were great.

So we played to our best or close to it? The 2nd half was one of our worse performances this year. Our first was bordeline average.

 

[hindy111]

If we went out like the way we played the storm id be happy. We played a great game.
Against cowboys we where horrible. And ince they where ahead we lost the plot completely.

Or todd greenburg

Or john grant ... dont forget him

And Seffa and Morgan and that merkin Luke Kelly the list is endless.

We were far worse in our 4 game losing streak, the Cows gave us nothing and defended well.

I think we shit the bed but give the Cows some credit.

Well, you can't play none to win one.

But you can play nun to win won

The fact we were awful is not related to how good they were.

We played as well as they let us. We were only so bad because their defence was so good.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

While the cowboys did defend well, it was obviously our game was to play straight up the middle. Some sets we did 4 runs straight up the middle, almost like touch footy!! We made good metres most set.

However we rarely took advantage of these metres to do our set sweeping play to the edges. We really didn't test the the cowboys defensive line a lot.

 

[eel01s]

And most times when we got to a good position we dropped the ball.

 

[Kornstar]

I reckon if we had a conversation id walk out on you while yawning.....

I bet you would too.

Roosters or Storm would have torn us to shreds

Perhaps - but the Cowboys were pretty under-strength.

We were pretty poor, but the Cowboys played a near-flawless game; what did they make, like 3 errors in 80 minutes or something?

Their completion rate was 110%.

 

[Suitman]

Their completion rate was 110%.

Is that a record?
10% above what's possible?
I'm guessing it is.
Amazing shit. No wonder we lost.

 

[Bazal]

Their completion rate was 110%.

They completed more sets than we won games after leading at half time tbh. I think it was about 55 sets from 43!

It'd have to be right up there. I think they managed it by taking a couple of intercepts.

That's unreal.

Hell yeah ... did you see what that storm in the USA did .... and chickens, well they can he mean pecking muthaf**kers

I think the f**kers went and completed a couple of our sets ... pricks

Yeh, that would have to be it.
How else could they get that 110%
I understand now.
Well done to the Cowboys!!
We should have taken more intercepts.
