Game Day Thread v St George Illawarra at Fortress Commbank - Sunday 6th August 2pm.

[Jake the snake]

I think they where the hungrier team. But we had a bit to much class. We just have on hunger or desire. Let's hope we had Brisbane on our minds.
We have to win out to be any chance. Big 3 games. I can't see it but hey if we did manage to upset Brisbane and beat Chooks we will be playing our grand final against Panthers

But you’d think after the thrashing last week we’d be the hungrier team right? You’d think they’d be wanting to prove something. But all we did was prove how mentally weak the team and coach are.

I can’t see us wining any of those games the way we are playing and with the quality of player that has recently been recruited to the club.

 

[Jake the snake]

He is an average player. Sad thing is he is our 2nd best back. If he was the worse in our backline due to a few stars I'd cop him.
The backline is uninspiring

How sad

Edit: error

 

[Gary Gutful]

Chiefy, you actually can’t be so dumb as to believe hindy was being serious, can you mate?

You can't be so dumb as to believe he isn't that dumb.

 

[Jake the snake]

Tbf - the club probably don't expect adults to turn up. Only kids believe in fairytales.....

Its unbelievable! Don’t know how families can afford that.

We are a premiership force and that come back showed what we are capable of. I doubt anyone can best us now. Penrith maybe if they get some luck but Ivans coaching is very poor. No other side will get close to this well drilled formidable side

Ivan's lucky Gould setup the joint before he came

 

[yy_cheng]

What if we didn’t make any errors or give away penalties?

The other point is the better teams don't make these errors and so why we struggle against the good teams

 

[Happy MEel]

So many choices. It's like reading a Maccas brekky menu.

We aim to please

It's actually quite obscene the prices of tickets at Commbank.
It can't be justified when the stadium isn't selling out, and it's the reason why it isn't.

I don't understand how I team is getting worse in defence.

I was shocked they had 23,000 at the game today. 2pm on Sunday against a shit team

 

[yy_cheng]

It's not about who would have handled him better, it's about why put him in his first game against the beast to begin with....

Do you think any other coach would put a debutante against ravalawa????

Tbf he probably not played right wing before... Nor left for that matter

 

[Gherkin]

They always inflate the crowd numbers

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

We won, but I still think we should burn down Bankwest and leave a cable on the ashes.

I'm in!!!

Where's the meeting place?

 

[yy_cheng]

Lol bea in the post match regarding dyl plugging holes in the left edge.. How many tries did ravalala score?

 

[Bandwagon]

I'm in!!!

Where's the meeting place?

Just look for the bloke with the live eel.

 

[Eelogical]

I didn't say we can't play better. I also didn't say Saints couldn't play better. Both teams could

The Eels can't play better, but they can play worse.

Two adult tickets cost $220. A burger, two soft drinks and chips then cost $40.

Someone said it before …. Kayo!

Random thoughts:

* Thought we were very luck today.
* I thought Gutherson stripped that ball to be honest. The game obviously turned after that.
* Felt very happy for Russell. He is a very competent winger at a budget price. He is our new Neil Hunt.
* The kid on the other side isn't ready and BA is a moron for giving him the job to mark their big Fijian winger.
* If we go into next year with Simonsson as our first choice centre we have rocks in our heads.
* Cartwright is the player of the season for us as far as I'm concerned.
* Dylan Brown will be better for the run.
* Lussick is better than Hands BTW.
* I still think we will miss the semis.

 

[Happy MEel]

If

Russell still didn't handle him much better.

It was who was inside him today that made a difference Simmonson isn't a defensive centre.

I’ll also add that we looked shithouse when Matto was on the edge. That’s when we leaked points. We focused on it watching the game and we were caught short consistently when Matto was on the edge. He’s an elite middle but a mediocre edge. We experimented and got our answer. Matto’s a middle.
