Eels v Week One Finals Team List Thread

[Kornstar]

All good mate. Not trying to throw a dampener on anything. Just calling it as I see it.

Having said that, I completely understand where people like yourself and Hiney are coming from.

Like i said, i've no issue with the penalties we are conceding, we absolutely deserve 99% of them. It really is frustrating though when they miss the blatant ones for us though.

Happens to most bottom teams though, we just happen to be a top 4 team this year so is slightly annoying not to be afforded the luxuries of other top 4 teams at times.

But i also understand why we don't. It took the Sharks a few years to earn it as well and a premiership resulted in the end.

From the fool who has 76821 posts in eleven and a half years. What do you do, work in I.T.?

It's an average of 19 posts a day. Do you really think 19 posts a day takes much effort?

I mean reading your posts suggest you don't put any thought into it at all.

But let's say it takes a minute to post (and i am being conservative) that is 19 minutes a day he posts. There are 1,440 minutes a day, 19 minutes is like 1.3% of his day.

Yeah, what a looser!

We know he doesn't work in IT because he doesn't troll other clubs' forums. He's not that much of a looser.

Is the 15th placed team really much worse than the 14th placed team?

Is the 16th placed team really much worse than the 15th placed team?


They probably should have included all of these teams in their assessment. I wonder where we would have finished then?

It doesnt factor in playing cowboys with or withwithout jt...origin time. Rains etc.

 

[strider]

Bellamey totally crapped himself over it ... was really irked .... running scared i say

 

[JokerEel]

So who do we play in the next game win or lose?

 

[T.S Quint]

I dont think they do ... i thought it was just kicking dead

I thought the rule was brought in as a deterrant to scoring all your tries from kicks

The rule was originally brought in after teams were using the tactic of purposely kicking the ball too long over the dead ball line in order to stop the fullback from being able to run it back. You give up a 20m tap, but you get your team set in a defensive line so no broken play.
I believe it started with Jamie Soward and the Dragons when Bennett was coach.

Problem is when they brought the 7 tackle rule in, it became a blanket rule for any time a 20m tap is taken.
So now a short grubber goes dead by one bounce = 20m and 7 tackles.
Miss a field goal = 20m and 7 tackles.
Drop the ball over the line = 20m and 7 tackles.
Cop a bad bounce when going for a 40/20 and the ball just nudges the upright in the process of going over the sideline = 20m and 7 tackles.

The NRL has no foresight whatsoever.

Moorooka mate, I waited up all night but Ballistic must of been too a good opportunity to pass up.

 

[hineyrulz]

Bellamy fears BA

Almost as much as he fears the retirement of Cam Smith.

Leave some ammo in the chamber for Saturday just in case.

 

[hindy111]
