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

[hineyrulz]

How many years, how many players blamed... our idiotic edge defence remains a constant. Guess who else is the constant.

 

[Gronk]

He’s been our best back tonight. The only one that runs hard.

His tackles shuts down more than people imagine.

About time BA turned him into a middle then!

Some say Simmonson is Superman ….

I e seen him fly over the sidelines a few times Jake

 

[Avenger]

Man that was 30 minutes of Ennis blowing smoke up Manlys players...

He was deep throating them for sure

Don’t give Sir Baldalot any ideas.

 

[Bandwagon]

Penisini hasn't impressed me in the slightest either, just quietly.

Had some great runs, but is struggling with communication in defense.

 

[Delboy]

How does our supposedly quickest player , slow down when the ball was kicked through, he should have challenged Turbo, at least that’s what it seemed like. Not a very brave chase for the ball that could have been won.

 

[hindy111]

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

He is a year away imo. Young. Misses end of 2021 and bulk of 2022. 2024 he will come good. Right now he is ok.

 

[hindy111]

Trying to score on every set.

Nothing wrong with getting tackle don the last 2mtrs out.
Hodgson was bought for experience right? He has been very poor

 

[the phantom menace]

Some halftime stats from Fox site. Gutherson and Maka each averaging 10m per run.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Score line absolutely flatters us, we hold the ball and play smart we should win this. But holding the ball and playing smart is not in our DNA.

BA will wake them up at halftime

His stupid kick led to a try from them as well.

Waqa has a super league contract to protect

 

[Bandwagon]

In the end there we despite being f**king hopeless for the first 25 - 30, we showed some go there to wrestle back some momentum.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

And for the 3rd week in a row Blake and Simonsson have been f**king garbage.

I think they've been solid.

 

[Eelogical]

I'm proud of how we fought back, but damn - we seem to be caught with our knickers around our ankles a lot...

A lot of is our own doing. No thought to put some pressure on after long periods without the ball. No attempts for goal line drop outs, just make it up as we go - low percentage plays on the third which inevitably leads to turning it over.

Yep, he’s a cat. A very very dopey cat.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

79m running, 14 tackles for 100%

 

[Jake the snake]

Seriously this team is shit
