Oshay Scum didn’t lead with the head? Hit on Princess was fine, failed porn star started the handbags melee. Both should’ve been binned and a Manly penalty.

Good win from where we were but not stoked.

Entertaining game. Probs looking at teams 5 and 6, if they keep defending like that....attack will blow sides off the park for both but the D is not good.
Our edge was understaffed and lane played like shit when he really couldn’t afford to. Neither blaise or Harper are in the 17 if we aren’t missing merkins.

We play Panthers in 2 weeks, that should sort our season out...

We can't defend our line, Smugs should put 50 on us and season over!!!

Should have won that but we looked gassed after half time. Good battle and well played Para. Both teams probably have some defensive work to do. Good to see Harper give us a couple of tries after the hundred he let in playing for us.

There were some good signs again. They were carving Parra up and then decided to stop going down harper’s side. Seibald strats are fkn weird

Its really simple, he can't coach.

And seeing that the Penns love him, were stuck with the pretender...

Try opening your eyes next time you want to watch.
No point arguing it now… it’s in the papers and done.
Im still annoyed at the obstruction call: not because it was wrong, but because technically it was correct. Having said that, the reason it’s technically correct is because the NRL have tried to clear up a grey area in that ruling, and by doing so have put the onus completely on the attacking side. Old mate had no intention of making a tackle, was never going to make the tackle, and used the rule to his advantage. As long as it stays consistent I’m ok with that, but I feel that this incident was against the spirit of the game and should be called out as such. Still…. It’s fish and chip wrappers now, so all we can do is let it go..

You could argue that the reason the defender stops is because he knows he’s not going to get around Jurbo.

He’s denied the opportunity to move through and then Turbo took the space Moretti could have been in if Jurbo wasn’t in the way.

I really don’t think we should be asking referees to guess what defenders might or might not do if an obstructing player isn’t there.

The key is in the wording the bunker uses too - he is denied the opportunity. Whether he would or wouldn’t have moved there or whether he would or wouldn’t have made the tackle is irrelevant.
Same sentiments if canberra cop the same call?

As the lights turn off in the fox league studios and the sound of a door closes in the distance, the camera pans to Braith Anasta who is still whining over a correct obstruction call.
Phil Gould was acting like the usual insufferable jizz stain that he is

BA only using 3 interchanges. What a moron

Did we win?

Posts like this are the exact reason the Eels forum is a worthless cess pit. They'll dig 48 feet deep through gold ore if it'll find a criticism.

If a player shits themselves after eating a dodgy takeaway it's BAs fault for not personally preparing their meals. But nothing good we ever do is because of him...

It been a penalty every day of the week not sure what anyone is whining about or do they not actually watch rugby league?

Browny still goes ok. You'll always get 100% effort out of him, and he isn't a homophobe...tbh apart from Paseka and Fat Jake their starters are probably more of an issue than the bench. Aioli, Guacamole and the charity Turbo. Yikes
