Eels V Penriff in Croctown game thread.

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Our problem so far goes a lot further than Kelly.

We need some runners going at 90 degrees to the try line.

 

[salvy71]

Worst thing I've watched since 2 girls 1 cup.

 

[eels81236]

Shit is good for the ground. The team should be buried.

 

[Delboy]

Are you for real?
We've been playing the past 14 years without a 7.

Suity

True, but it hurts to to think that far back, although until he went AWOL I thought Tim Smith would be the one to be a real 7

Nah the problem is Kelly or any of the other backups.

 

[hineyrulz]

This game is worse viewing then Australia's first innings batting effort and the human centipede combined.

Lol.

You are now being a whining fraud.

We need these kents to show some urgency and play the ball quicker and look like they care.

and apparently we've just lost by an innings and 78 runs

 

[Lemon Squash]

How many more years are we supposed to be playing in Darwin? Going to be embarrassing next year when no one turns up

 

[Rhyno]

We need to give semi more ball

 

[Joshuatheeel]

What a terrible half, amazing stats against us. Amazing we aren't down by 20.

Defence has been ok, but our ball handling is terrible. While we have had bugger all ball, the forwards have been pretty poor. And our attack has been off, need a few offloads.

Let's hope we at least give ourself a chance in the second half rarely then another 40 mins of tackling.

And finally how the f**k does an NRL player miss that goal kick ? I normally trip over my shadow but still reckon I could have kicked that goal.

 

[Incorrect]

In all seriousness, of the goals Kelly has missed at goal in the top grade this year, some have been 12 metres to the side if the posts and he's shanking them. I've seen him kick for Wenty and knock em over from the sideline. I think he's one of those guys that just seizes up when he has to take the step up to the next level. At times with the ball in hand he looks like his arms have stopped working properly and he gets caught between passing long or short... our blokes invariably end up getting smashed after taking a hospital pass from Kelly....

I heard ISIS will be using footage of this game to torture their prisoners , although that could backfire as most people will be more than happy to have their melon lopped off after watching it.

Thank god the EPL starts tonight...

Pretty well spot on I reckon.

You know what mate?
I can guarantee that in 2026 , when we finally win our first Premiership in 40 years, you'll still be here saying it was Kearney's 5 year plan that initially started the growth.

[strider]

i'm gonna go out on a limb and say - we will win this

 

[Suitman]

lol. haha. yep.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

f**king awful game, .05/10.

Kelly has no confidence. His confidence has been shot for a long time.
