Game thread - Eels v Titans

[Eelogical]

according to nrl.com in the match centre

we had 62% of the ball


Our kicking game let us down badly, we should have had a few repeat sets and that alone would have been all we needed to win the game

We would have dropped it on tackle 2 anyway. Not trying to sound pessimistic but that's how seem to roll.

Casper.
Please be honest.

That wasn't even NSW Cup standard. By either team.
I'm seriously embarrassed to follow this lot.
We were terrible.

If anyone thinks we had any hope tonight or for the remainder of this season are kidding themselves. We will not win another game this year.

Suity

Never said we were not awful Suity - I agree with you but those dud ref decisions were even worse.

Furaimo played very well as did Junior Paulo.
Robertson was good too bar his goal kicking... ouchhh.
Semi was not at his very best but still one of our best players tonight.
Toutai was average, a bit above poor.
Peats and De Gois were good too.
Ma'u played very well, one of our best.
Mannah played very well too.
Tepai was ok - he looks injured, seems to be protecting the injury from getting worse so he is not at his best.
Alvaro was not bad.
Gower was ok (looks like he's playing injured)
Pauli Pauli was ok, nothing to jump up and down about.

Lussick was f**ked..... he is terrible.
Morgan was ok, bit below average, could almost be categorised in the f**ked department.
Kelly and Seph need to be booted out of our club - f**king awful awful awful......

 

[^b0ss^]

from the side we are putting out im not expecting anything other then the players least having a go.
they did that tonight i cant complain.
do i want them to win HELL YES and will support them thinking we can win.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

Na, mate. We just weren't up to scratch.

Forwards were very good.
Our halves were shocking.
Farimo, Semi & Robbo played well bar Robbo's goal kicking.
The rest of the backs were poor.

Barring injuries in the pre-season or nines, I don't think we will see too many of tonight's 1-7 players in round 1 next season. In fact, only 9 of them would make the top 17 or 18 I reckon.

1. Gordon
2. Semi
3. Taka
4. Hoppa
5. Faraimo or Robinson (if re-signed)
6. Foran (c)
7. Norman

8. Junior
9. Peats
10. Mannah
11. Ma'u
12. Scott
13. Watmough

14. Wicks
15. Tepai/Pauli
16. Gower
17. Edwards

Good side, was about to say would have Robinson before you updated it, I think we need his speed. Confident barring another massive injury toll, next year is going to be a pretty good year.

Hindmarsh

I like the look of that side.

Agreed

Add Hayne to fullback, Foran to 7, Norman to 6, get another classy centre or two and with Gordon on the wing and goal kicking, we'll do well next year, bar injuries.

 

[emjaycee]

Best 2 plays of the night for mine were:
1. Faraimo getting to the ball with some serious urgency to stop Elgey getting to Bird's kick (the second one)
2. Faraimo getting over the line with 4-5 Titans on him and/or around him.

Nice bit of effort and ticker on both counts.
I would love to see him get more game time this year without having Vai inside him.

Agreed. Love your style BOss.

pretty happy with that side,looking at the way the interchange is going i dont know if pauli is going to suit.

The problem isn't our top 17 or 18... the problem is the next 7-10 that we will need throughout the year.

No club goes through the season without using at least 24-25 players and this is where we will be tested. Brisbane and Nth Qld have used 28 and 27 this year, Rorters 23 and Souffs 24, so far.

Yep, Faraimo has been good for us with limited games this year.

That chase to head off the kick was as good as you'll get for commitment.

I thought Semi was poor tonight..His errors resulted in at least 12 of the GCT points...

Elgey had hoisted the bomb that was spilt by Radradra 15 metres out from Parramatta's line, Bird quickly snatching the rebound and dropping the ball onto his boot almost immediately to set up a foot race that Elgey easily won.

It was the first time of the night that Roberts had been able to find space of any significance and he evaded two Eels defenders before running around Semi Radradra to score in the corner and break his side's five-game losing streak.

On the back of a Macdonald bust from the ensuing set the Titans poured down the field playing a style of football they hadn't produced for more than a month, David Mead denied a try in the right corner when he was tackled by opposite Radradra a fraction of a second before the ball was in his grasp after a Sezer grubber to the corner.

Suity

Totally agree Suity..Terrible is that another word for 'shit'....They are ordinary at best....
Not even a light at the end of the tunnel. The good players are being dragged back to the level of the worst. We have 14 year old kids who can kick for goal better than these imposters. As a matter of fact, a young lass playing LeagueTag for the Hay Magpies
in Group 20 CRL kicked 7 from 7 on Sunday - earlier in the year she scored 40 points in a single game with 6 tries and 8 conversions - and she is well on her way to posting 200 points (again) for the season.....and she is a 22 year-old sheila!!!!..
