2021 Rd1: Eels v Broncos GAME DAY thread at Suncorp 12/3

I don't wanna waste Paps on an edge .... he ripped em up the guts

They are down to 15 men. If we pull our finger out we still win this.
Lets see how Moses handles it. Aslo g as we defined well and get one try in the first 20mins we will run right over the top with 2 or 3 late tries.

This will give us a great idea how much his mentality has changed.

You did it again Hindy111. You are amazing.

That new Pap guy was the best player on the field and my Serbian brother was huge defensively at centre.

Opacic was incredible - made so many great defensive reads, and tackles, and ran some good lines.

He was a very good pick up.

Papali'i was like prime Fuifui - beast mode.

We started off slowly - and the Broncos, wanting to shake off their spoon-winning season, started off strongly.

But that second half was excellent - patient, composed, and well thought out attacking football.

 

[Gronk]

Agreed. I like opacic. He’s solid and does everything a first grade centre should. Definitely worth persisting with. Waqa, not so much.

He’ll do fine until Penisini is ready.

Well the f**kers proved me wrong. Everyone I bagged out turned their game around.
f**k me

For the first time ever, I feel like we were carried home by the ref. A few division went our way which shouldn't have.

We won because Broncs had massive injuries. That won't happen again, we better get our act together.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

If Paps isn’t a better edge forward than Lane I’ll eat my own hat.

Reminds me of the first time we saw Manu.

There seems to be a second half drop off by refs. Maybe they are getting tired too.

PAPALLI i thought it was FUIIIIII

 

[hindy111]

So do people still not rate Mahoney highly?

What. A. PASS!

My Dad rang after the game. He said I dont know why people talked about D.Brown and Moses. Mahoney runs ring on the pair of them.
I'd say one of the best games I've seen him play.

 

[Happy MEel]

He’ll do fine until Penisini is ready.

I’d much rather Blake get the ass, or at least moved to the wing.

 

[84 Baby]

That’ll paper over some issues for another week very nicely

Mate, I will be honest - I turned the game off with 7 minutes to go in the first half (when the Broncos scored their third), and I was so angry, I didn't watch it again , until Ichecked the score, and it was 16-12.

I then went back to the Foxtel box, watched from where I left off, and caught up - and I'm glad I did.

 

[Dibs]

Mahoney is bog average. It’s laughable how much he gets talked up on here.

Between him and Papalii for MOM IMO

I thought Blake and Sivo looked ok early, them both of them went missing.

He has always had this in him.

Reed Mahoney is a gun.

I get the impression that BA told Mahoney to keel his game simple, until he got used to First Grade.

But after tonight, you'd have to think the shackles are off.

 

[hindy111]

Yes we won. A late try sealed it. I feel we fluked our 2nd try. They where down to 14 men most the game. And missing their two best players.
I wouldn't get overly excited. They ran out of gas.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

No way u can keep paps outta the starting side next week

Then we'll have no punch off the bench ffs! Actually we'll still have Niukore and Kaufusi, who was also awesome.

 

[Avenger]

Well the f**kers proved me wrong. Everyone I bagged out turned their game around.
f**k me

So what bro? When I post here it’s like you are sitting next to me live. f**k being careful,
Just join the roller coaster. They were shit in the first half. BA read my posts and
Shit himself because he knows job seeker is coming to an end.

But let’s not get too excited. They were decimated with injuries and were down to 1 man on the bench.
