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

[Dibs]

Told you all

Absolutely flawless performance

Yep good call. Exceptional coaching performance

 

[Matty Bhoy]

Absolutely wrapped with that performance. So often we come up just short in those circumstances and I won’t lie, I was shitting my pants when Opacic had that brain explosion. About time some around here get off Sivo’s back. The big unit was absolutely outstanding tonight.

Anyway. Can you merkins keep it down? I'm trying to go to bed.

Have some warm milk. I think Strider fell asleep before Matterson.

 

[hindy111]

I doubt the NRL suspends Cat-fusi for more than 2 weeks.

I bet he isn't even sited....

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Sooooo...

If a middle/edge forward can handle the centre position better than your “strike centre”, I think it’s time to drop them.

I’m not sure we win if Waqa plays

I suspect the wet weather may have helped Marata a bit defensively....made opposition centre less mobile

 

[Soto]

Do the Storm go out of their way to be hated?

I thought Papenhuyzen was OK - but he played like a bitch tonight.

That's not sportsmanship...its just being a sh*thead

 

[Gary Gutful]

Have some warm milk. I think Strider fell asleep before Matterson.

He's been punching them since the 8th minute.

No doubt at all..kudos to Marata.. i love having him in the side..wholehearted player who gives his all..love him. Beast mode and no emojis required

I want to comment on Moses. His long kicking kept us in the game. Mahoney had some great kicks too.

We really struggled to make metres against the quick linespeed of the Storm. I think the game management from Moses went up a notch tonight.

Also, Reed is a champion!

Absolutely.

I was happy that it was raining - it helped nullify Addo-Carr, and Papenhuyzen's speed a bit.

 

[Kilkenny]

Really great win. Well done.

 

[Eelementary]

Really great win. Well done.

Thanks, brother.

Please feed JFH some angry pills, and tell him to legally rip Kaufusi's head off haha.

 

[Bandwagon]

We did that with 45% possession.

When you look at the stats we lost that game on every measure.

Except on Moses' kicking game, and the score.

100% Moses game
Management went to the next level tonight.

 

[Jake the snake]

Now that was a great win. Great performance. Well done to BA and the team. Credit where it’s due.

 

[Avenger]

Gutherson is the gutsiest player that we have had since Ray Price. He was everywhere. The downhill skier was superb with his long range kicking game. Marata and Drown were brilliant in defence. Sivo back to form and a true X factor again.

 

[Avenger]

Mahoney you cannot put shit on anymore mate. He is the best hooker we have had in a long long time.

 

[hindy111]

Really great win. Well done.

I should of sent Ivan the code how to beat the Storm before the GF....

 

[hineyrulz]

Want to give a wrap to Dylan Browns defence, his attack needs work but he has to be the best defensive half in the game. He’s quick also I thought Milkenhausen was away and he rounded him up pretty quick.

 

[hindy111]

Mahoney you cannot put shit on anymore mate. He is the best hooker we have had in a long long time.

Mahoney worried me last year. He seemed to had stalled. And I thought this might be as good as he gets.This year he looks far more confident and happy to take the big plays on which I like. I love a hooker who kicks and isn't scared to do something on the last and ignore the halves. Keeps the defense guessing. If it doesn't come off that's fine. It will give more space for the halves later in game.
The way he set Jnr up was sublime. And if he makes the odd mistake so be it.

I also like W.Smith on the bench. Two weeks in a row he had big plays with limited time.
