Eels vs Titans Game Thread

No doubt everyone who launched into me, Luke's 2nd run for the afternoon which came in the second half was a good one. Gained us a good 20metres and a quick play the ball leading to a try.

Rest of the game our team was up & down. Damn, Horo has some bad errors / missed tackles in him too. As does Paulo.

Well enjoy your last 2 games supporting a winger who won't contest a bomb, can't put a guy into touch when he's off balance and 20cm from the sideline and has about 2 runs a half. He will be missed by a lot around here.

i dont get why we went back into the safety first no offloads mode this week all our wins came from 2nd phase

well he loves to tell everyone he does ..... if that counts for anything he's a mf'n genius

 

[Kornstar]

Lussick will be a massive help, and Harrison could be good enough to play every game.

Confirmed. Stuart will have no effect on the team next year, it is all Kearney.

Glad you cleared that up, thanks ;-)

i think we still did it - it just didn't work this week

 

[Kornstar]

Need a player to protect him like the Broncos did Tony Carroll with Lockyer. But Parramatta don't have a player to do that or actually a defensive line in general.

Out of curiosity, as I don't think anyone has ever asked. What team do you support?

 

[Suitman]

I just think he does.
I read his comments. And I read the comments of others. I then make my judgement.

Not entirely second phase - more ball movement. We kept the ball moving and had players moving all the time. Quick passes in the middle, long passes out to the edges then quick passes on the wings. We had some good offloads but most of the work over the last few weeks came from passes before the line.

We tried some of that this week but the Titans did very well in defence to shut it down. We also had a couple of opportunities where we held onto the pass instead of taking the risk.

Ben Smith does a good job but he's made of balsa wood. Certainly not Mark f**king Horo, as we saw today.

Reni does alright when Sandow defends on the left, and if Stuart goes with Kelly at 6 we might see Sandow defending on the left side again.

Probably does, doesn't mean the bullshit praise he has for a coach that was one of the worst in history is correct, does it?

Or even his son, Justin.

Don't know if he's ever praised him. I've only ever seen defence of his position.
Just like my support of Kearney, I've never said he was a great coach. Just supported the fact that we shouldn't sack him for the reasons of stability.
Now that he's gone, he's gone.
My support is now behind our next coach.

Twist it which ever way you like.

The whole defensive line in general is horrible. Sandow struggling in defence is no secret just Parramatta do a bad job hiding because of the problems around other parts of the field.

None of the backrowers are any good except Reni, Hindy I don't count because he plays like a prop.

Absolutely.

Alot of the time suckers like yourself keep taking the bait over and over again that is left out....

 

[spiderdan]

seen it a few times over the years

that's why they call it an optional restart

I think it's called that because a tap is a kickoff but it doesn't need to travel 10m.
