Game Day: Rd2 Eels v Sharks @ Commbank Mar 10, 2023

[hineyrulz]

Doorey will be a better edge then Marata….give the kid some time. Does a lot of good, has good aggression, runs a good line. Needs to work on his pass/offload and fitness.

he will be good!!

He’ll be a better edge than Marata?? Lol.

 

[ImTheMan]

Shoulder charges were banned one season into his contract, from there he had f**king nothing.

Highlight reels don't make a career mate.

Go through every try assist there in that video and that he set up for Semi etc (Hint, when he left the replacements couldn't even make Semi score) and let me know how they make him shit. What makes a career as an eels player, tell me. Do you make and break their careers? You're just some guy sitting on a lounge or PC talking about other people. The question is actually if he stayed at the Rabbitohs would he have been better off? The answer is yes, and at the end of the day you are just typing on a forum. He had a good few number of years and the Eels teams he ended up in teams that were hopeless. But keep talking crap online, you will never do what he did.

 

[hineyrulz]

The kid is only 23 this year and has only 20 NRL games to his career, because of major knee construction. Yet he had 18 games by the time he was 21.

Marata didn’t even debut until he was nearly 22, and hasn’t had a major injury yet…..

give the kid time, he will be good and a potential rep player….he has huge improvement in him, but his base is very good!

@Avenger @hineyrulz laugh away merkins, come and see me in a few years when Doorey has close to 100 nrl games….

No one is saying he’s not a first grader but you make a statement that he’s better than Marata and a rep player??? No one we are laughing. The only future rep player in our pack is Hopgood.

 

[The Predictor]

T

Drown had a much better game, 145m, 3 LBA's, 2 TA's and a really shit grubber that every merkin will focus on.

Because that really shit grubber came at a crucial time, this is the difference of winning or losing, so yes people have every right to pull him up on that shit, Parra have set him up for life…. DO BETTER !!!!!

 

[The Predictor]

If they’re reserve graders, Blake and Bailey are Ron Massey Cup.

That’s unfair to the Ron Massey cup, players

 

[Gazzamatta]

Cini takes Sean Russell’s spot in the Top 30. Cini for Blake.
Dunster returns for Bailey.

Hayze dosent look anywhere near ready Gronky. Only played 40 today. Looked slow and extremely hesitant.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Please quote me where I said he is better the Marata? I aren’t that f**ken stupid idiot!!

I said he WILL be better!! Not yet, but will be!! And I said POTENTIAL rep player…

so yes, my prediction is he will be better then Marata as a edge player….but it will take time. Marata has 100 or so games to his time, so I say Doorey will be better when he has 100 games!

anyhow merkin post away!!

 

[The Predictor]

Yeah disagree, there was far too much derp from the likes of Waqa and Simonson, I also reckon losing Gutho to the HIA f**ked our focus, and Simonson counting the numbers, we saw the result there.

They can’t be that fkn fragile?

You said he’ll be a better edge player, so you aren’t that stupid??? Lol. As i said I think he’s a good pick up for us and will be a handy player for us but Marata is good enough to play in the centres for NZ.

 

[Chipmunk]

Well essentially Doorey has replaced Papali'i.

Hopgood has replaced Niukore.

Murchie has replaced Kaufusi

Hodgson has obviously replaced Mahoney

And Moimoisea is the most stupid two year signing I've ever seen. Some people describe players as a 'poor man's whoever'. Moimoisea is not a homeless man's NRL level player.

 

[Gronk]

Lol Doorey isn’t anywhere near Niukore.

You’re playing with my words there. I said his signing almost makes up for the loss of Marata. Please don’t go anywhere near the premise that I am saying he as good as etc. I know everyone is hypersensitive tonight, but let’s keep it real. I like how he runs straight and hard. Needs to get fitter but, looks gassed too often. Plenty to like however.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

@Avenger laugh away bulllshit artist who’s inside info never comes true!! can’t recall you ever getting anything correct!!

gee you make up so much shit on here to make it seem like you know stuff

You try hard merkin….

We are really struggling with with Maka, Emu and Momo as backups.

Bugger

 

[hindy111]

Dooreys tough. By next season I think Matalele will leapfrog however.

 

[Chipmunk]

Yep, Matterson will add something there eventually. I hope Nrown can come back and show something, we really need him now.

Those three you mentioned are utter rubbish.

 

[Matty Bhoy]

Super frustrated after that. I stand by what I said last week, we’re going to be fine with Matterson and Lane back. The issue might be if we are 0-6 when Lane is back.

Matto coming off the bench will spell our middles which I assume will include Hopgood, when needed.

Gutho being HIA’d when it was pretty clear he was fine was MASSIVE. Understandably our whole backline was in turmoil and our momentum was lost on the spot. No it’s not the reason we lost but fk I found it frustrating.

A series of silly errors at different times killed us off. Moses and Dyl were much improved. Gutho tried hard, perhaps too hard. That ball doesn’t get intercepted and we score we more than likely go on to win.

All in all, thoroughly frustrating. 0-2 and we probably should be 2-0.

Rodwell ? @Gazzamatta what do you reckon ?

 

[Eelementary]

Dooreys tough. By next season I think Matalele will leapfrog however.

Looking forward to when he is allowed to make his debut - he really is an x-factor type of player.

 

[Avenger]

Some fools on here should hang their heads in shame more than Blake and Simonsson. Give yourself an uppercut you f**king idiot. You know who you are. Let’s see if they stick their neck out.
