2023 NRL draw

[T.S Quint]

Melbourne haven't lost in Round 1 since 2001.

And the Eels haven’t been out of the top 8 for the last four years.
One of these records will come to an end in round one next year.

I’m glad it’s going to be us to give Bellamy his first ever round one loss.

Melbourne haven't lost in Round 1 since 2001.

Damnit. The nrl always f**ks us over

 

[King-Gutho94]

oh well we have broken some on going records in recent years, lets add another one

Beat Canberra last year in Canberra for the first time in yonks

Beat Penrith (away) to stop their record home winning streak of 17 I think?

Beat Storm when they were on their way to a record 20 wins in a row

Jakob Arthur to bag a double for the first time in his illustrious career

Melbourne havent beaten us at Commbank before 0/3.

All games been on a Thursday Night as well.

They are our bitches in recent times especially since Cam Smith Retired.

Damnit. The nrl always f**ks the storm over

 

[King-Gutho94]

Damnit. The nrl always f**ks us over

Its not the worst result.

This isn't the same melbourne team next year then the ones of dominance before.

BA has a good track record in Round 1 as well.

Plus we should get a good crowd being the 1st game of the year similar to the last round this year against the storm where we 95% of the crowd with 25k crowd.

 

[T.S Quint]

I don’t like Thursday games.
I’ll be there…but I won’t like it.

 

[Gronk]

It's an outrage that we have to play someone in Round 1.

 

[Chipmunk]

So one of two things will occur after Round 1, the Storm will be beaten for the first time in Round 1 whilst Bellamy has been the coach, or we will be out of the Top 8 for the first time in 4 seasons.

Surely the Storm are due for a Round 1 loss?

I don’t like Thursday games.
I’ll be there…but I won’t like it.

I only like Thursday night games when we win, there is nothing worse having to sit through the whole weekend of footy after your team has lost Thursday night.

Maybe you should get a 2nd team.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

And the Eels haven’t been out of the top 8 for the last four years.
One of these records will come to an end in round one next year.

I’m glad it’s going to be us to give Bellamy his first ever round one loss.

I just hope we don't have to hand back all our top 8 trophies.

Throw some coins while you're cheering us on.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Let's hope Nelson does something stupid this week and gets suspended and may miss Round 1.






Who am I kidding Big Nelson could kill someone and still not get a match.

He might get a charge. But he would likely take the fine because he understands what team first means.

Don't be stupid, there’s no top 8 trophies.

They get medals I think.

 

[T.S Quint]

Throw some coins while you're cheering us on.

I don’t really have coins anymore. Who the f**k has cash these days.

Do they take eftpos?

 

[T.S Quint]

If he kills Cam Munster I’ll be ok with him copping no charge.

 

[the phantom menace]

And the Eels haven’t been out of the top 8 for the last four years.

I didn't realise that until you posted - pretty good stat!

And it prompted me to look up the year before that, and remind myself how we went in 2018...

Fun fact: We have not once been outside of the top 8 in the four years since Jarryd Hayne played his last game with us at the end of the 2018 season...

 

[the phantom menace]

And the only people still on our NRL books from that horrible 2018 season are:

Gutherson
Moses
Nathan Brown
Brad Arthur
