Eels in the media

[Eelementary]

We were very unlucky in 2006. We won 9 in a row and ultimately lost 12-6 to a salary cap cheating Storm because of a dubious decision where Glenn Morrison was disallowed what looked like a try. If we hadn’t clowned earlier in her season we would have finished much higher and gone further in the finals.
We were never a chance of doing anything in 2008 once we lost Tim Smith and introduced new players like Hauraki and Oake who just weren’t very good.
2010 proved that 2009 was a flash in the pan moment and we couldn’t recapture being in that zone. Players like Mortimer, Robson and Keating weren’t very good and regressed to their mean.
2018 was a disgrace and no way was that a wooden spoon roster.
I’m worried about our lack of depth in the backs but our spine and forwards are still amongst the best in the comp going into this season so I’m hopeful we can live up to expectations for once. We haven’t lost any key players like those previous seasons (Maybe Ferguson but he was starting to go downhill in a lot of areas).

That Glenn Morrison no try call haunts me to this day - I thought the rule was that if there was doubt, then the benefit of the doubt went to the attacking team.

They watched the replay a dozen times - a clear sign they were unsure-, and still did not award the try.

What a joke.

No team wins premiership because people outside believe it. Its the internal belief that matters.

And scoring more points than the opposition in your last game.

I can't recall the no try. I've tried looking for video but no luck.

And a lot of luck

We haven’t had too much of that in recent years. The Jennings debacle f**ked us in 2020 and losing Mahoney last year was a pisser.

Considering that many thought that we were the better team v Pennys, we were a bee’s dick away with a bit of luck. Well just the ref not calling time off when we were on a roll would have been enough.

Strike two: Panthers trainer who stopped play against Eels warned before

The Penrith trainer hauled over the coals for an incident earlier in the year is now under investigation by the NRL. He wasn’t even on the field at the time.

Morrison scored in the left corner, but defenders were obstructing the put down.

The video ref looked at the replay a dozen times, and still claimed it was a no try...

Emu !

About f**ken time!

Was it also the game where we had a try called back because Inu put a bee’s dick of his boot on the sideline?

Before Inu's time.

It was before Inu played, I think.

Right you are. Might’ve been the 07 game.

He's not so bad.

Looks like a Kiwi Sam Burgess.

He really does.

^^^ Cayless reckons we need better centres to win the comp.

 

[Angry_eel]

And scoring more points than the opposition in your last game.

and playing well in at least 1 half.

^^^ Cayless reckons we need better centres to win the comp.

This is my concern as well. It's probably my only concern.

Has any team won premierships with average centres recently?

Olam and Brenko lee? Solid but not flash?

 

[Happy MEel]

Waqa was awesome towards the end of last year and Penisini, whilst young, has already shown me enough to indicate he’s at least above average. He will continue to get better this year. Our wingers are more of a concern than centre IMO.

Bloody hell, I just had a look at each team’s expected lineup and most centre pairings look gash. I reckon we have one of the best centre pairings out of this list, and that includes Penrith.

Blow it out your ass Cayless.
