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

[Chipmunk]

Whats happened to the defence. We scored 26 so the attack is ok but defence ffs. Did BA forget Defence wins Premierships.

Middles and Hodgson have to play far too many minutes and they're all too f**ked to contain their opponents.

Outside backs are spastics too.

How good is Hopgood though? Jason Smith clone

He is good.

 

[JokerEel]

People love to bag Waqa. I agree junk. But Gutherson threw an intercept. He also was put in a gap by Cartwright and was so slow could go thru. Amd fullback with speed is one on one with the fullback and support players.

Gutherson was rubbish. Moses took no control either.

Pfft At least Gutho and Moses were trying if Gutho didn't get held back near the end he may have scored.

Blake let I'm 2 tries was horrible I'm attack and made no meters rucking.

I think the little birds are a bit off tonight..

 

[Noise]

Besides Hopgood, our new players are all garbage too, despite what the crack heads on the TCT have you believe.

 

[Happy MEel]

Jirah is another who is simply not up to it. He had no positive contributions and multiple deadshit plays

 

[Homo man69]

That’s our problem. Our roster is too top heavy and the plodders in the side are putting too much pressure on the main men. If we had some decent juniors/role players we’d be killing it.

We have a massive junior base but not as big as Penrith. Surely we can produce a decent player here and there. There must be some issues if Parra Juniors felt they needed to join up with Canterbury's system

 

[ImTheMan]

Tonight reminds me of when the Panthers were 6-0 up in the GF and the Eels looked sad, similar to when the Sharks passed them at ten points. Does Barrett need to slap them???

 

[The Predictor]

I bet Brad picks him and Bailey. He's a stubborn prick. Russell needs to come in for Bailey and Cini for Blake

Russell is gone for the year!!

How good is Hopgood though? Jason Smith clone

He sure is.

 

[Homo man69]

Besides Hopgood, our new players are all garbage too, despite what the crack heads on the TCT have you believe.

The worst part is it was so obvious. They all seemed like pure crap except for Hopgood. I kept thinking they must be back up's but even then they seemed below par

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Moses was good. He was trying. Brown was asleep again

I thought Brown was solid.

Seriously, five minutes after the game your motivation is to troll me. Do I live rent free in your head or what ? Don’t you have something better to talk about ?

Troll you?? You abused me last week when I questioned the coach and his ridiculous bench rotations which is something he has struggled with for a decade.


Again tonight our marker defence is woeful and once against uses only 16. Two were used sparingly and he’s flogging 14 blokes again and wondering why we are horrible around the ruck. You want to run interference for him and attack anyone that criticises him surely you answer a question??

 

[The Predictor]

I predict we will finish 13th!!

 

[Gronk]

Jirah is another who is simply not up to it. He had no positive contributions and multiple deadshit plays

Need to yoik him before Matto gets back. Who do we have that can play a bit of backrow ?

Incorrect…RCG was just as good, did u watch the game??

 

[IFR33K]

Gutho - f**ken moron
Sivo - ok but heart in mouth when they bomb him
Penisini - f**ken moron
Drown - WTF DID YOU ACTUALLY DO IN PRESEASON?!?
Moses - better than last week but f**ken do some goalkickong training
RCG - ok
Hodgson - needs help
Paulo - f**ken moron
Doorey - drop
Cartwright - bench
Hopgood - stud
Murchie - ok
Makatoa - meh
Greig - best on ground

I think that was the problem. We only played 13 players above. Not sure why Arthur only named 14 players

agree mate. We should be looking at extending hopgood.

 

[hineyrulz]

Who was our worst?

Dykes and Poore have to be up there. But this bloke just single-handedly takes games from us.

 

[the phantom menace]

Out for the season again??? f**k I thought he must be injured but not out for season. Have feeling we might not see him again

He's got one more year on contract in 2024.

 

[Chipmunk]

Our attack is looking shocking. Our defence even worse.
SHIT COACH!!!!

I think all of it comes back to an ageing 9 playing 80 minutes and all three starting middles having to play too many minutes.

It doesn't help when your outside backs look like they're going to make an error every time they touch the ball.
