GRAND FINAL: Parramatta v Penrith GAME DAY THREAD at Accor 2/10/22

[Delboy]

Had no momentum in th first half as Klein reffed the ruck differently to NRL, Panthers held down, pushed back and flopped almost every play the ball,and didn’t get penalised. Smart play realising it was Bill Harrigan rules , not helped by Atkins running the bunker decisions like an episode of Penn and Teller Fool Us.

When our forwards are held down and can’t get momentum, we saw the result. Need to approach games in the finals differently .

Questions need to be asked on why he was not brought on earlier, ffs Bea!!

I laughed out loud when the gangly f**ken giraffe got over the line. Highlight of a pretty shitty night. Still proud of our effort this year.

we tried to play up tempo game in the second half but they were all over us.

If up tempo means walking briskly.

You guys weren’t ready for the onslaught, except for JaKob.

Bring out the judges, pricey, edge and Glover.

Let the investigation commence before Parramatta is awash with rivers of blood.

A mate had him as last try scorer as a joke, got 41-1 lol

@Parra Pride unfortunately nothing is owed to us as sports fans mate. It’s the almost a faustian pact we make with our team whether we know it or not. We can only live on hope that one day we will see the Eels as champions.

That was my reaction too haha

 

[Happy MEel]

Absolutely gutted. The one thing I took away from 09 was the bus ride home. As I sit here, for all the good times we had earlier, I’m in the exact same position. That hurts

 

[Eelogical]

Yep, that Sivo drop with the tryline within reach sums up how this game has gone.

Totally overawed by the occasion - players and (dare I say it...) coach.

We weren't overawed, we were beaten by a well drilled superior team. No excuses, even allowing for the epic effort from last week.

 

[Angry_eel]

I hope there's a silver lining and we don't end up like Canberra.

We are not allowed nice things as Eels fans.

I'm glad salmon got a premiership

Brandy is carrying on like a total douche, what a f**king merkin.

A march down the Great Western Highway, toilet break at Blacktown, onwards to lay siege to the Panthers licenced club.

Bea just couldn’t lift ‘em, a bridge too smug.

It would be one thing if it was some hard fought loss, but we aren’t even in the f**king games. Never looked like winning in
01 or 09 either until it was too late to change anything.

The easiest way to win a premiership is to leave Parramatta.

I fist pumped and yelled Jakey!

 

[lucablight]

They’ve wanted it more than us. You can’t treat these games as just another game. That’s the line that was trotted out the whole week. WRONG.

we haven’t even turned up

Agree 100%

Nothing but the beautiful gleam to our bald heads mate! Keep ya head up @hineyrulz you’re a good man

I turned it off after the siren sounded.
