GAME THREAD: Eels v Sea Eagles - Round 3 (16th March 2023)

[Poupou Escobar]

How long can Manly's line speed last? A lot f**king longer if we keep dropping the ball.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

ball Moey!!! And I didn’t doubt Doorey for a second

 

[lucablight]

LMAO! How are we only 2 points behind?

 

[hindy111]

We are making meters to easy. We completed at 46%
Game on

 

[84 Baby]

Manly aren’t frontloading anything. They’re playing footy and we have too many useless merkins in our top 17 that they are easily carving us up.

Na I’ll give Pou that. Manly are frontloading. But we’re shitting ourselves facing it. It’ll be ammunition to the Goulds that we’ve got a soft underbelly

 

[oldmancraigy]

If we play direct we might just be able to sneak another before the half.

Big fat Manly forwards are barely hanging on for half time.

Murchie and maka changes the tempo

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Get a few sets back to back and the opposition look a lot less hot. When they're fired up in defence you have to get to your kick. Rugby league 101

I apologise for this comment.

Doorey runs ok. Built like a little tank. I dont mind him.
Moses had to kick that. His kicks have been off this season.

 

[Avenger]

Moses is an average goal kicker. Very average.

 

[the phantom menace]

Nice simple line Doorey, off Moses. Good decoy run from Makatoa.

Shame about that kick Mitch...

 

[Cumberland Eel]

lol Mitch kicking has gone to shite this year

 

[Eelementary]

"Brad Arthur will be rapt with that," after we scored our first try.

Yes, he probably would be...the gimp.

 

[hindy111]

Get a few sets back to back and the opposition look a lot less hot.

Its still a worry when we did have 3 sets and muffed them all.
Anyhows game on. Hold ball and we will have to much power up guts

He reminds me of o mealy

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Suddenly winning the ruck. Possession is king.

 

[the phantom menace]

Didn't Gutherson used to kick goals? Maybe worth a swap if Mitch has a less preferred side...

I think he’ll be ok when he’s not a starter. He’s another one having to play too many minutes

Trying to score on every set.
