Eels V. Storm : Game Thread

[Hollywood Jesus]

Fingernails time

Try tooth time!

I had chicken for dinner tonight. With two minutes to go and Melbourne on our line I'm just sitting there, tense as f**k, just taking all my nerves out on this chicken bone as I gnaw it to death.

Melbourne go over in the corner and I just let loose this gutteral scream as I tear the chicken bone out of my mouth...taking my cap with it. I've had that damned cap since I was kicked in the toothipegs in '93 and now it's bloody gone!

I guess the dentist is gonna get a call from me tomorrow and there's $100+ gone down the drain.

Forget the dentist try a psychiatrist. Just lay on the couch and say:

I'm the bloke in the dress who hates our best player for no reason.

I don't hate Luke Burt. You must be thinking of some other ridiculously good looking bloke with half a tooth.

 

[natheel]

i can see us upsetting quiet a few top 8 teams....look out doggies

Luke is one of the smartest wingers in the comp and is having a good year. However he was average tonight.

Wooden spoom successfully avoided at least.
Can't believe they're talking about DA being replaced with Ricky Stuart. WTF?!
Surely not.

Don't disagree with that. I almost had a heart attack when he went for that kick and coughed it up, giving the Storm 6-again. What the hell was that, Burt?

What?

Foxsports commentators saying Osbourne might want to replace DA with Stuart. But surely not. That would be insane.

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

lol, I didn't catch that.

Was it pure speculation or did it seem as if they had something to go on?

Speculation I hope. Linking Osbourne to Stuart because they played a GF together and Osbourne liked Stuart more.

Average is a compliment , his turn and chase on the kick that led to the Nielson try with 10 minutes to go was disgraceful ....he literally stopped trying before Nielson even got to the ball .....hopefully he cops a nice serve for it from Ando ....very unlike Burt .....

 

[Noa]

Congrats Eels. Your positivity for the entire game made you deserved winners.

And well done to Nathan Hindmarsh. Always impresses me greatly as a person everytime I hear him talk.

 

[fish eel]

well done to the strom for staying on the field for the presentation to Hindmarsh

Great win by the boys for Hindy's 250th, but the highlight for me was Hayne vs Slater. Awesome to see two terrific players going head to head like that.

how good was the intensity and passion. these are the games where u understand why u luv this game. u could see how much this game meant to the players. lets give one back to the old fella who has saved our bacon to often to count.

 

[hybrideel]

And good on Brett White as well, congratulating Hindy in his interview and giving credit to Parra for outplaying them

Yeah good sportsmanship by White in that interview , almost as good as his right cross on Price last week ......:lol:

There was one play in the first half, Hayne makes a tackle on Slater, a good one, and stands right over him as Slater gets up to play the ball.

 

[jk13]

it was as if hayne was making his intentions for the aust jersey known tonight. i reckon slaters days r numbered

 

[hineyrulz]

Slater looked rattled at times, Hayne was pretty much telling him that Aussie number 1 jersey is mine.
