Eels vs Sharks Predictions

[eels_fan]

Haven't seen one of these in a long time

Ben Roberts to throw at least one forward pass
Matt Keating to be caught with the ball on the last
Mannah to give away a penalty for holding down too long in the tackle
Hindy to produce a try saving tackle
Burty 12 points in his 250th game Home celebration (try + 4 goals)
Parra up by 12 at HT, but down by 2 with 10 to go
Sio to score the match winner off a Hayne cutout pass
Parra win 28-24
Everyone still bitches & every positive post-match thread is hijacked with sack SK posts

I think that we will look good in patches and get beat again. A converted try will be the margin.

We will have one of those nightmare 20 mins where we concede 3 or 4 penalties and that possession will be the difference.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Cheyse Blair first Eels try scorer..

If the Sharks get the lead in the first half, the heads will go straight down, and SK's halftime talk will again inspire nothing.

If the Sharks only get the lead in the second half, the heads will go down, and SK's post match talk will again inspire nothing.

Our only hope is to get in front early and hold them at bay for 80mins... been few and far between since we managed to play out the 80mins though .

 

[hineyrulz]

Parra to win with a Sandow 78min FG.

 

[oldmancraigy]

We played 80 minutes last week.
Just a shame we didn't get a penalty (Melbourne penalized for much weaker blocking this round)


I predict we play hard for the 80 - we probably will for most games the rest of this year.
SK showed us last year that he has a 10 game warming up period before getting the boys to play the 80 minuets - that's been the case this year too. 10 weak rounds, then an 80 minute performance.

If we come back late, it will be because the players decided to ignore Kearney's game plan and play some footy.
If we fall away late, it will be because Kearney's half time speech was shit.

:lol:

Yea I think we will play well and just lose like usual, we don't know how to win tight matches and i think that will be the case again tonight. But I think we will play pretty well.

Our only hope is to get in front early and hold them at bay for 80mins....

In which case Kearney's pre match speech inspired something.

[Avenger]

I've been talking to my mate Fat merkin, we reckon we will get smashed.

 

[Parra Pride]

If the game is close we lose, if it's a big margin we win.

Or - given Kearney's woeful hit rate of 1 from 11, 7 from 35 etc - it's more likely that the players just decided to do it for themselves.

Of course. Silly me.

[bartman]

Both positions can be valid - why are you sure yours has to be the only right one?

 

[SDM]

Justin Poore to be worst on ground, highlights including 2 dropped balls, 3 penalties conceded, and running to the wrong end of the field after half time.

 

[Suitman]

Where did I say that?

When was the last time we flogged someone? 2009? I long for a victory like that again. One of those matches where it's all over after 20 mins and I can sit back and relax and watch the boys rack up a nice score.

We beat the mob we're playing tonight 40 zip last year didn't we?

Last year. We flogged the Sharks 40-4.
