Canberra VS Parra Match Discussion Thread

[Hollywood Jesus]

Halves changes look much better despite the score.

Robbo looks sharper than MK. KK looks interested and energetic.

Poore having a dig, Caylo and Hindy playing ball.

HaHa not submitting on kick returns. Burt is THE finisher.

Benny hitting hard in defense, Mateo looking to play ball but a bit soft in defense.

Reddy burning them down the right but throwing stupid passes, Grothe still a machine.

Tahu + early ball = success.

Sure, we're behind, but I actually think that's our best 40 mins so far this season. That, however, isn't saying all that much. Should I instead say it's our least worst 40 minutes?

Mateo was hooked after that Thompson try...last chance IMO and he's failed it, bench or Wenty with Horo to start thanks

I think he's been good today, just way too tired and too slow to grab thompson. He should be on the bench or only on first 20 mins.

Tallis has summed it up. We are not having a go.

 

[offside ref]

Left side defense is a joke. Mateo and tahu and morts get caught out everytime.

where's fui fui moi moi? come on son lift

Season defining 40 coming up. With the Rabbits next week, we need to turn it on this second half like the Titans did on Friday.

If we roll over here, we might as start getting ready for next season now.

 

[Eelogical]

My assessment.......marginal improvement over what I have seen so far offered this year. However, I feel they have what it takes to come back in this one. They are still in it....just waiting for that spark.

Boys some stats:

Eels vs Raiders

Errors: 4 v 5
Penalties: 5 v 4
Line Breaks: 3 v 2
Offloads: 3 v 5

We can win this! Just gotta defend better. Switch Keating to the left and Mortimer to the right. KK is a great defender for his size.

And Mateo stands like a statue while Thompson runs around him for a try...

Can someone please take mateo...we will pay you, name your price.

Have a look at the try again.
Tahu wasn't any better.

About time some of these blokes started putting in for their team mates.

Poore: 3 Hit - Ups for 57 metres. Playing well

Ill tell you now, Mateo looks one of the better players today.

We have been waiting for that "spark" all season, and it hasn't been forthcoming what makes tonight any different. :?

Yep I thought the same. Simply outpaced.

 

[Marrapatta]

The boy's have picked up their act and are working hard.... except one!

Mateo to Wenty... he's barely ever put in 70% effort. Even last year. Worse thing is, a change of club would probably spark his effort. He's a lost cause at this club IMO. Let him go.

Still a half to go... I've been impressed with the effort thus far, especially around the play the ball and general pick up of speed of our game. Defensively, we have been good. I worry about Tamana and Lukey under the high ball though... but it's always hard in defense. Work hard boys!

Special mention to KK. Defensively he has been outstanding! And Morts has been hitting ball and all, and hard too... cant wait for him to put on some kilo's.

Go boys!

 

[Y2Eel]

f**k you guys, Mateo is playing good. The team is doing better. Just some real dum options by Reddy and stupid penaltys that has kept the Raiders in the game.

Agreed.. i dont know why people complain for Joel thompson would have scored that try against all the teams tbh...

 

[BissyB]

Oright here we go. 2nd half! COME ON PARRAAAA

... Already a penalty to raiders

 

[NorthShoreEel]

Tackle FFS they have only just come back on!

 

[Y2Eel]

Whats the go with Bagging Mateo He has been solid in Defense and Setup that second try The raiders are a good young attacking side just ask Parra Pete!

 

[Glenn]

Oright here we go. 2nd half! COME ON PARRAAAA

... Already a penalty to raiders

Come on it was over due..there hasn't been one for the last 20 mins. ;-)
