It’s not that harsh. Some of his last tackle options have been woeful, especially his short kicking game. Having a nuffy five-eighth doesn’t make him chip straight to the fullback from 20m out.
His long kicks have been real good.
His grubbers in goal have been ok, probably under-utilised. But yes his midfield (always has been for some reason) and his bombs have been predominantly at best somewhat tricky handovers, and too much uncontested in goal easy takes.
Yeah there are times you’ll be getting off a slow Nrown fifth tackle settler, but Moses is quick enough that he should have a rushed option that’s better than an uncontested bomb

I can’t fault his long kicks. That hasn’t seem to have diminished at all, which is great. His grubbers are hitting a lot of opposition legs lately, although he’s not the only one doing that (Gutho as well).

Ive noticed that is hasnt just been his kicking game which has been lacking as well. His running game and ball playing have not been up to standard, but I just put this down to his injury. He is t going to the line and drawing defenders like he once was, just shoveling it out to Matto/Waqa as early as possible which is making it easy for the defenders to slide and not have to make a decision.
In fact I noticed one play in last weeks game where Moses passed out to Matto, who passed out to Waqa who eventually got the ball out to Fergo, but every pass was way too early. Not one of them thought to go to the line with the ball and make the man in front of him plant his feet. If only one of them did that it would have created an overlap and it’s try time.

As BA said, it’s an easy fix.

Gus is trolling us.


It would also be foolish of Gus to say that the Eels are ignoring the things in their game that need improving.

Ignoring and failing to achieve those things are 2 different things and it has been well documented that we know they need to be fixed........

Gus is right but he is also being a f**kwit about it and he doesn't like it when fans @ him.

Probably similar to Goulds tenure at The Pennys.
Sure they produce great juniors and if they wish to be happy with that area of their business then just keep doing the same.
If however they want to become a premership force and win at least 15 games straight, punt Gus Gould. Seemed to work.

Just keep telling yourself that you know everything you f**kwit. His review on St George amounted to nothing. As soon as he left the Panthers started winning consistently yet he will take the credit if they pull it off and win the competition.

I however hope they f**king choke and we shock these ‘experts’ and pull something out of our arse.

Kudos to Gallen for at least giving us a chance.

Gould is becoming irrelevant and deep down he knows it. He is nothing more than an agenda driven, deluded has been who lives in a echo chamber.

Can’t stand him.

The only thing that would make me happy for a Smuggies win is if Cleary in his victory speech thanked the club for getting rid of the hack that was holding them back.

Gould would probably still claim that was his plan all along

This.

I used to rate him and could ignore his f**k wittery but he is getting worse and worse. Getting the gig with the NRL seems to have made his head even bigger than it was.

He is unbearably dismissive of people on 100% footy. F**k him off and put Sterlo on the panel.

I’m not sure what he’s said. You and other fans may not like his comments, but we just got home against the tigers with so much on the line. He’s challenging the team and coach and been doing it for a while now. He’s knows our weaknesses. Every club does. Hopefully it’s sorted this weekend because the only way the eels will shut the critics up, is with an upset win.

Yep I’m sure that’ll shut them up and their talk of lucky draws
