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

[hineyrulz]

Our defence has been poor because we're not completing our sets. Maybe that's Hodgson's fault.

Yep we haven’t been completing our sets for a decade.

 

[IFR33K]

He got concussed. He misses a week now with the 11 day rule. Doorey is out too.

BA in his presser said that individuals keep letting us down. We all know who they are so why does he keep selecting them?

Because he is an ignorant fool.

The Moses signing fiasco and the inevitable Matterson welcome by his home fans will sink us to a new low next week.

We are not recovering from this. We will miss the 8 and when we do our stupid club can pay out an extra year for their premature ejaculation decision on the BA extension or at least be beaten around the head for announcing it when we haven’t won a f**king game all year.

Can’t these merkins read the room?

Murchie in the middle reminds me a lot of... Alvaro, or for the oldies Greg Drake.

You only miss 11 days if you are a Category 1 concussion.

He’s shit anyway. Makatoa made him look like the feathers in his pillow.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Not when it has mattered. How many times has the attack been fire during clutch moments?

Every moment is clutch when you're behind on the scoreboard. We were behind from the 7th minute to the 43rd and scored three tries. Then we were behind from the 51st until the 80th and scored another three. Six clutch tries in 65 minutes is decent.

You can complete sets and still have poor defence when your opponents have the ball.

Your attribution of cause is not robust.

Did you watch the game bro, or are you just going into post-game "stats are great" mode, where you ambandon that quality called good judgement?

Both bigger players than Murchie. At least they had size

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Pou just get your 6 cups of coffee ready sit back & relax.

You have a big night ahead of you there is 15 pages of content to sift through.

I am excited to celebrate St Patrick's day tomorrow and read what you have to say to brighten us all up.

What do I need coffee for, merkin, I'm about to have dinner and watch Gogglebox ffs. I would've had dinner earlier but I had two beers and a bag of Doritos. I'm not actually very hungry.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Its two hours earlier over there.

Three until DST ends

I think it's been great that the board have kept themselves out of the paper since the reconstitution.

But we still have a fair way to go. They may be business smart but still lack footy/Rugby League smarts.

 

[Jake the snake]

Our so called set moves out the back are predictable. Who the hell came up with such brain dead easy to read moves? A 5 year old? All a team has to do against us is slide and we are done.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yep we haven’t been completing our sets for a decade.

We've been top two the past couple of years.

 

[hineyrulz]

We've been top two the past couple of years.

So why has our defence been shit his whole time here??

Who is this board actually accountable to?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You can complete sets and still have poor defence when your opponents have the ball.

Sure but the less defence you have to do the better, especially if your defence isn't good. We probably benefit more than any other team from controlling the ball. Conversely we might be one of the worst when we don't.

Sure. But it's not the reason our defence is poor. Our defence is poor(er) objectively.

 

[Noise]

Our defence has been poor because we're not completing our sets. Maybe that's Hodgson's fault.

We still had the ball more than Manly (53% - 47%). No team should leak 34 points dominating possession.
