2018 R15 Thu - Eels 24-42 Rabbitohs @ ANZ

[2 weeks]

Hardly a show of roughness or strength...

Nathan Merritt & Steve Turner-esque.

 

[OzDragon]

Calling Parra aids would now be considered a compliment

 

[Smack]

Won't matter either way. They are going there to make a statement after the absolute gutless tactics of punching the shit out of indefensible fathers,mothers AND kids in the stands. And these were hardened thugs.If it was an issue of a scrap in the street between two sets of evenly matched thugs,then fair enough. But what happened 2 years ago was way off the charts.

If they go there with that attitude it will get bloody. The Russians don't give a f**k.

Souths beat them so now they are genuine title contenders lol

 

[OzDragon]

Surgess: “dissapointing to let in a couple of late tries”

Inglis confirmed as the Souffs maths teacher

 

[GongPanther]

Souths get to play Parra twice in 5 weeks... and people complain about the Broncs getting a favourable draw. Souths essentially have 3 byes in 6 weeks.

Souths are a very good side. Not their problem if other sides don't have their shit together.

Parra were pre season favourites though so that didn’t look favourable when they made the draw.

And like I have been saying,neither will the Brits.

 

[TheFrog]

Remember,they'll be dealing with Putin here. The same POS who shot down a Malayasin airlines jet.

If he in fact ordered it, he got away with it. Also got Trump up. Very powerful little man, not to be trifled with. I wouldn't set foot in his country.

 

[Cheap Charlie]

Coupla times there Walker reminded me of Cliffy Lyons.

If you let him run sideways, you’re gone.

Hang on, wasn't it the Roosters? Or the Cowboys? Or the Storm?

 

[Tenacious Titans]

Adam Reynolds Nein's MOTM. Hmm, I guess Cody Walker never played then.

Parra is better than a bye because a bye can’t improve your differential

 

[BranVan3000]

Adam Reynolds Nein's MOTM. Hmm, I guess Cody Walker never played then.

Tight one. Reynolds kept Souths in it first half and terrorised Parra in the second half

 

[TheFrog]

A sign of a premiership contender:

They're a contender all right. Didn't need to put a score on the bottom team to demonstrate that.

 

[Hutty1986]

It's going to take a very, very good defensive side to knock souffs off this year

 

[BranVan3000]

Hang on, wasn't it the Roosters? Or the Cowboys? Or the Storm?

Nearly every “expert” had Eels top 8 and most top 4, some even had them as minor premiers

I was looking at this the other day. Some experts. Most of them just rehashed last year's 8. Parra certainly weren't supposed to run last, though. The effect of losing Radradra was underestimated.

Poor Robert Jennings you could just feel his pain after his fourth try didn't seem the least bit thrilled his brothers were getting towelled up.

Top 8 usually sees at least 3 teams come from outside last years 8 and one of those into the top 4

This years table is pretty unpredictable with 4 bottom 8 teams dominating
