Eels V our Bogey teams.

[T.S Quint]

2016.

Yeah, but before that.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Another inciteful Pouful response.

Ask a better question and I am happy to offer something 'inciteful'.

Talking about bogey - the away yellow striped jersey has been an absolute Bogey for the Eels with just one win in two seasons - and that was against the Dogs at Anz. Its a disgraceful look and will be banished after this season.

bogey teams are all in your head, a load of codswabble

Yeah I never understood the concept either. We’ve beaten all of them and as @Gary Gutful said, shit the bed to all of them.

 

[84 Baby]

I think the real question is “who are our boogie teams?”

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Or bogan teams?

 

[Gary Gutful]

Shut this thread down. Eelo has made a dick of himself again.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Eels bogey teams away from home.

Melbourne.
Roosters.
Rabbitohs.
Raiders.
Manly.
Penrith.
Broncos.
Bulldogs.
St George.
Tigers.
Cowboys.
Titans.
Sharks.
Knights.
Warriors.

I reckon our away record against Brisbane would be as good as our home record against them. We've lost more than we've won, but we do no worse up there than our home form each season.

We perform best in front of a crowd. Like some of those people in the park at night.

Yet, it's almost a given we will get beaten in Canberra, Newcastle or Townsville, regardless of where we or they are on the ladder. I personally don't believe in bogeys or bad luck. I think it's more mental than ability.

I play it as I see it.

Since 2000 we have won 17/37 against them at all venues.
8 /18 in Sydney and 9/19 in Brisbane.
It will soon be 9/19 and 9/19.

 

[T-Boon]

I prefer to think about which teams have us as their bogey team

St George

Great Britain

 

[T-Boon]

how do we go against the Titans at Tightville?

 

[parra pete]

I'll be there so we are a shoe in

Jules shat in schlossy's shoe

It's largely that, but there are also some longer-term trends in playing style / roster structure that contribute to it.....in my opinion anyway. Also some of these teams (e.g. Brisbane) get a big arrogant at home.

I'd rather play the broncos in Brisbane than the Raiders in Canberra.

Canberra is a different case, at least in the cooler months, because the ground conditions (the slipperyness, not the cold) directly affect play.

I haven't checked, but off the top of your head are we more adverse to their their playing conditions than any other team?
