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

[Gronk]

Moses goal kicking the difference again.

Actually Reg’s try in front of the posts is also an option.

 

[Wally21]

our defense is absolute garbage. We have had about 80 points leaked in 3 weeks. Abysmal.

 

[hindy111]

Possitive- Bryce was excellent.

Negatives - Seen enough off Moimsea and Murchie. Makatoa is better.

 

[84 Baby]

Over these f**ken merkins

 

[IFR33K]

Well at least we locked Brad Arthur up for almost 3 more years.

Stability

 

[DaveMc]

Anyway, Pou’s always said that for and against is a better measure of success than wins, so let’s not focus on 0-3 and bask in the fact we’re only -12 on F/A

Very true. We were robbed of that. But you can’t be happy with our performance Gronk

One was in our control. That wasn’t.

 

[IFR33K]

Disgraceful performance

 

[Jake the snake]

Super Coach yay

 

[84 Baby]

He didn't need to runnin touch. A bomb on last would have been fine. Maybe a knock on.

He needed to not run over sideline but run was the right thing to do.

 

[eel01s]

Can't believe Reg's try was called forward. Cost us the game. That and our shit defence.

 

[yy_cheng]

Blame your own goalkicking mitch instead of blaming others

 

[IFR33K]

Super Coach yay

I’m sure he’ll find positives

 

[Chipmunk]

3 individually brilliant efforts from Gutho probably kept us in that game for longer than we probably should've been.

We had enough opportunities in that second half to win, but too many poor efforts at crucial times just let us down. AGAIN

A crucial call on RCGs no try obviously very costly.

The final scoreline I think flatterers us in the end to be honest. We were lucky Manly's lack of match fitness kept us in the contest.

The less said about Simonsson and Blake the better.

I could go on, but there is just too many weaknesses in this mob to really get enthused.

We'll start to lose some confidence from here. I said two weeks ago I don't think we're a snowballs chance this year. I've seen nothing since to suggest any different.

I always felt Matterson's decision after the GF was going to be the beginning of a real poor season. He has a significantly alot to answer for.

 

[Homo man69]

You'd think in this day and age they'd have technology to check forward passes

 

[84 Baby]

He has been good.

He's not worth elite money.

That’s why probably a mill is bang on. If he were a good goal kicker maybe he’d get the extra as goalkicking tax but he isn’t

Our shit defence cost us the game. You deserve to lose having more than 30 put on you. f**king disgraceful

Mattersons decision after the GF reflects the rotten attitude of the players and coach at the club. How the f**k did the club approve that? Shit attitude shit team

That was a try. Penisini should of scored. We threw away a lot of points. But really we didn't turn up in first 25mins. The game was kind of lost then and we chased our tails for the rest of the game.
I think if Hopgood doesn't force that silly pass we win in last few mins.
Anyhows 3 games in a row against 3 top sides. We've scored the same amount of tries and lost on goal kicking. We have also played well below our best. And we have troops to come back. I still think we are a good side in here somewhere.
We are going to see 3 - 5 new players in the side soon.

Russel,Lane,Matterson and I reckon a signing soon plus Matalele will be in the side over Murchie,Moimesea....

We could smoke Manly next time. They where full strength and at home.
