2017 R21 Fri - Eels 28-14 Broncos @ ANZ

[GongPanther]

Before Gutho was out I was confident. We never play well after the bye or against Wests so I wasn't too worried by yesterday. And we normally play quite well against Brisbane

But without Gutho I'm pretty sure we'll lose. It's not even the loss of the fullback, French will fill in very well and Hoffman is apparently due back on the wing so we don't lose much (although they're different styles of players, true). It's just what Gutho does for our confidence as a side, he really is one of the players who make up the heart and soul of the team.

I think our defence will hold reasonably well but we won't have the confidence Brisbane do and we'll lose by about 12

I hope for the games sake Parra do make the finals.They've been playing entertaining football this season.Just a shame Gutherson is not there.I'm sure Aurther will have something up his sleeve to counter his loss.

Brisbane.

 

[Barkley]

Eels to get fisted and then to lose by 14.

I think Parra are playing the '17 premiers (if Smith is gone) and the scoreline will reflect this.

Smith is playing this weekend most likely. He isn't gone anywhere..

Broncos to win this either way.

No shit?

 

[Tommy Smith]

Smith will miss 2 weeks at most.

And Brisbane will win this easily. The Eels are not aa good as their position indicates.

Broncos by 14.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Brisbane @1.55 is very generous

 

[Rhyno]

Eels by 4

Because of the moronic way the draw is worked out these two teams get to play again in about four weeks.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Brisbane over 22.5 @1.90, over 3.5 tries @ 1.75.

Should be able to score once more then the tigpies last week

Can't see any problem with that issue.So accept the fact that Parra will be getting done twice by Brisbane within a month.

Penrith need Parra in the finals - they might beat the Eels on a good day.

I can see Parra beating the Knights and maybe Souths.If they lose their next couple of games,the pressure will be immense which will make the Eels play more in a panic mode which will be their undoing.

Whoever can handle the pressure between now and the final round is going to be interesting.

Broncs by 22, how lovely

The main difference between Parra and Penrith is that no one thought the Eels would go on and win the big one.

 

[Pedge1971]

Broncos by a dozen brown paper bags. This isn't a Gee up.

Jimmy the Jet to use his speed and find the line multiple times, and he will play a good game on the field as well.

Salty.

Didn't realise Will Smith was such a champion player. Come to think of it we improved after he was gone too.

Injecting himself in the play?
