2021 Rd2: Eels v Storm GAME DAY THREAD @ Bankwest Stadium 18/3

[hindy111]

Storm have been the better side. Guth has saved 3 tries.
But we matched them for 30mins. It was the last 10 we seemed to go away from our game plan. Coincided with RCG and Brown going off.
Felt like we had no ball the last 10-12mins of that half and no luck. The positives are we are finding space. If we get 50% of the ball it will be a coin toss. Without looking at stats my guess is they had about 56%

 

[Avenger]

If we get an even amount of possession in the second half we will win. They are a lesser team without Cameron Smith as their hooker is severely overrated. Munster has thrown at least 3 forward passes. That Reimis Smith is a f**kwit.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I reckon we're still a chance. Starting to think I should have tipped us.

 

[hindy111]

Haha f**k I honestly didn't check the stats untill then. Exactly 56% lol

 

[TheParraboy]

We may be more fatigued back end of the 2nd half, need to have more possession.

Niukore is going pretty good at centre

 

[Parra]

How good are forward passes?

 

[Happy MEel]

The scum have thrown an absurd amount of forward passes. The touchies need to open their eyes.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Good, effort. But need to build a bit of field pressure.

but Jesus to the storm ever not get a leg up by the ref? At least 4 forward passes not called. Another 2-3 restarts we should have got. Plus I reckon moses was held back once and Sivo pushed chasing his kick.

ref giving us nothing

 

[Angry_eel]

I don't know if it's the rain but atrocious refereeing. Forward passes, 10 metres, trips, players taken late.

 

[Angry_eel]

Moses was takem so late it should have been a send off

 

[muznik]

It is amazing that year after the year the Storm seem to reffed differently.
They may sign Tom Brady if the officials keep turning a blind eye to their forward passes !
The only consolation Is I saw us get away with one (to their double figures.)
The double standard on Sivo with tackles in the air was pretty obvious to everyone but those that count?
Oh ..and Gus is a goose!
Disappointed the Storm got on the board but so far so good for the Eels.

He has been outstanding. What a player.

 

[JokerEel]

I remember last week all the commentators giving it to The Broncos halves due to their last tackle kicks but the Storms kicking game has been shit house and nothing..

Also offsides knock one forward passes. All not called

 

[Eelementary]

Why the f**k wasn't Olam penalised for tripping Gutherson?

He moved out of his way to trip him ffs.

Fair dinkum - he turned around, and moved towards Gutho.

What the actual f**k?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

If we win the second half we're right in this.

 

[JokerEel]

Also Munster loses his shit to his own player it's cool.

Last week Moses gets mad at a drop ball He needs to keep his cool if he wants to be a good half..

Commentators have no idea

 

[84 Baby]

The Storm seem pretty content to just be patient and wait for us to beat ourselves.

That’s not the way I saw it. They kept trying to go up the middle, we repelled them then attacked them at angles up the middle. Forced them to go wide. They still have weapons to attack but it’s the first time in a long time we’ve forced them to change their plan IMO

First run through the middle when Moses dropped it, no doubt tackled before he got the ball, didn't even look at it, play on........

You may be right...
