2020 R5 Fri - Eels 16-10 Panthers @ Bankwest

[skeepe]

Didn’t really see too much from either side that worries me tonight. We got their number quite easily I reckon.

 

[gordynz]

I rate that Burton kid, surely he attracts a bit of interest from other clubs seeing as hes Clearys 3rd choice.

 

[Exsilium]

Spot on mate , like don’t get me wrong you need to be a pretty damn good footballer to play first grade but he just seems so structured and dunno boring ?

Thats Ivan Cleary 101

He’s a fraud

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Very true , it’s just catch and pass from him , ran the ball twice but got smashed both times ..... I don’t understand the wraps apart from a chin for ages

Mostly media hype. The average fan doesn't rate him that highly. Even some Penrith fans can see his many flaws.

The thing is with Nathan, a couple of those flaws are physical and can't really be fixed. He's slow... that's not going to change. Sure he can tackle... but he's a Halfback, he's there to create. The game is too fast for him now imo.

 

[KennySterling]

The first 60 minutes had me daring to entertain the thought we might be decent this season but the last 20 minutes reminded me that our attack is still really ordinary and as soon as the pressure ramps up against a quality side we let 3 quick tries in.

That's why Eels will be top 4 and we'll be rather lucky if we make the 8

Nonsense. The Panthers will be up there and that game was worthy of a Grand Final.

Look our Skeepe V'Landy's and Sutton are coming after your mob.

Lucky his dad is the coach. First bloke picked

We’ve got the refs’ favour. That has to count for something

 

[Eelogical]

I could go a doughnut.


If you know what I mean

Take it to the 'what's for dinner thread', mate

Not much of a take, to be fair.

We haven't beaten you since 1832. Parra could play Canberra once in a season, in Rd 26, and be 25-0, and lose by thirty

 

[Generalzod]

Great winning try from 'Cuthbertson' there - thanks Sam but Adam is now at Leeds.

Vossy tells us the Eels have won the comp on the only 2 previous times they won the opening 5 in '83 and '86 - but Jess confuses us by saying they have won their first five for first time since...1989. Oops.

But we've seen a fabulous & wildly contrasting couple of games that have emphasised just how good rugby league has now become.

It’s been a long time it’s hard reading hieroglyphics from pyramid walls..

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I wish Souths played as bad as Penrith do.

I’d eat a doughnut after that game

Fair point.

If V’Landys doesn’t let us have home games at Canberra Stadium from round 7, when the ACT gov will allow crowds again, we know the fix is in.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Eels Knights GF would be the tonic in these troubled times.

Did you say that when you guys played the knights last week lol

 

[BradParkerTheGoat]

Is this f**ken pickles and icecream ad on channel 9??? im thinking of getting rid of foxtel cause its just nonstop repetitive commercials and matt f**king nable promos!!!

I also reckon Ben Cummin's is part of Project Apollo.


So much adversity.

I thought Burton should have started over the luai. He seems a bit more natural, luai looks like he is over playing. A bit like cleary actually, just slightly quicker but equally ineffective.

Worst ad ever, it's f**king worse than a Matty Nable promo.


LOL Nek Minnitt Matt Nable promo.
