Game thread v Warriors Saurday 21/3/15

[Chipmunk]

Those 3 penalties in the play the ball area basically cost us the game so far. After that we were "gun shy" around the play the ball for the next 30 minutes in case we gave away more penalties and as a result the Warriors were able to easily dominant.

There has been 50 other play the balls in that half of football, from both sides, that could easily have been given a penalty but weren't.

Not sure who's worse us or the refs.

We are rubbish, Tep looks injured give the kid a rest.

 

[Eelogical]

I thought it would be worse. We have hardly had the ball.

We should mainly blame ourselves for that. Dropped ball and penalties are always going to cost any team possession time.

 

[Swiftstylez]

Lazy first half and no possession. I love waiting a week to watch the eels played off the park in 8 minutes. It seriously looks like norman and sandow are playing against each other and not the other team. f**k

 

[The Elephant In The room]

Shot putter has cost us a couple, lots of mates though, Foran will NOT come if this shit continues........

What a crock of shit.

 

[Jake the snake]

The Chairman has been our best by a mile.

Yep x 2

Here we go, knew it wouldn't take long

 

[Jake the snake]

We seem to play teams into form

 

[Avenger]

I've been impressed with Hoppa but why doesn't he get involved in attack unless he is running it from dummy half?

 

[eels_fan]

Hoppa has looked ok in attack from dummy half, but offering nothing else. His positioning in D has been crap and I'm yet to see a single run supporting the ball carrier.

Arthur will rightly be tearing strips off all of them. Watmough playing like he's been in hospital all week - so why did we play him?? Morera can't tackle all of sudden, clearly Scared of a reoccurrence of injury from past 2 weeks - again why play him then?

Our interchange options have been terrible too.

He should have been rested until he didn't need 100 metres of packing tape on his shoulder any longer.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Third game in a row possession has been 60% to 40% against us

 

[Swiftstylez]

If anyone thinks foran would even make a difference today that is the true unbelievable statement.

Yep, so he's a three-quarter for mine.

Interchange options have been thrown out the window due to the two injuries to the hookers.

As for why Moeroa and Watmough played. Did you watch either of the two lead up games?

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Brad Arthur super coach :sarcasm:

 

[Someone]

because apart from upper body strength the bloke has nothing.

mild pace, no real footwork and limited playmaking abilities.

he's a rich mans sam perrett.

Always whinging, so painful...........

 

[Chipmunk]

We also just look sluggish, slow and tired. Watmough coming off after 30 minutes probably suggests he wasn't right to play.

Our structure is all over the place. We've swapped our edge forwards multiple times, our left winger is getting the ball in an attack situation like a fullback and some how our left side half has got into a position where he caught the ball two passes wide on the right side of the field with no one outside of him...

I guarantee you arthur isnt in the dressing rooms giving them handies...
