Excited & Nervous!!

[ioki]

agree with your take on 1st half eelectrica!

we've basically camped in doggies red zone for 20 odd minutes and only have 12 points to show for it..

hmm.. shades of 1st game against them this yr at the eels stadium?

whoa.. 59 %- 41% in possession to the eels.. that should really be atleast another try for us

 

[parra-matters]

Dogs look tired around the ruck.
Their marker defence is poor, but I'll never write them off.

If we just defend well and take our chances we can win from here.

 

[ioki]

Who is sore, Finch or Ryan?.

finch limped off into the tunnel

 

[parra-matters]

any word of Finch?

 

[HayneHindi]

Not a good sign.

Hang on to the ball, get our defence into order and run the big bulldogs pack around and that should get us over the line.

What is the situation with SBW? Is it his shoulder or arm?

 

[ioki]

appear to be sbw's arm when he was being attended by the trainer

the doggies are out for 2nd half.. and here comes our guys!

 

[ioki]

doggy's kicking game is non-existence atm.. straight to guru and inu makes a mini bust

and mateo knocks it on

 

[HayneHindi]

Go you EELS""

 

[ioki]

a decent set by doggies and had parra guessing at the end of the set..

first ordinary kick by us this game..

was just told that sbw may have a fracture of the forearm..

 

[HayneHindi]

Time to defend. Don't go sloppy on us now.

Not good news for SBW. Look like no NZ test match for him.

 

[ioki]

penalty against parra... doggies drops it cold from reply and we get canned by the touchie..

nathan saves our bacon, inu make a break upfield and then drops it cold..
and finch gives away a penalty..

shirwin gets there.. it doesn't appear he grounded it before haynes got there

 

[ioki]

great hold up by MATEO!!!

no try, held up

 

[ioki]

WHAT a take from mateo on the bomb.. doggies are out of idea if they can't get the inside pass going

 

[ioki]

umm.. what did timmy drank during 1/2 time?
1 ordinary kick and 1 pretty bad kick so far

 

[ioki]

just hold the ball guys... stop the touch football stuff..

looks like finchy just got a drop goal from nothing... it look pretty suss if you ask me.. i reckon he might have "knocked" it on just before it

 

[ioki]

inu has been breaking tackles every run i reckon!

what a pass from mateo

 

[HayneHindi]

Stop playing fancy stuff. Get back to basics or we will end up losing.

 

[ioki]

great end of set option from parra (finch) as tim took a run on the 4th..

looks like a late shot from willion on finch tho

 

[HayneHindi]

should be a penalty. Come on eels

 

[ioki]

moi moi charge down, gathers.. and we get the penalty as doggies knocks the pass from dummy half clear out
