Qualifying Final Eels v Storm Gameday Thread

[phantom eel]

SO who are our worries for next week?

Tepai - HIA?
Ma'u - on report?
Alvaro - on report?
King - mystery twinge injury?

Gower into the 17 if Alvaro is ruled out
Scott into the 13 if either Tep or Ma'u are ruled out
(which allows Kaysa into the 17 if w need some cover for King)

I'd prefer to have Kaysa in the 17 if we play Cowboys - but against Sharks I think we need to aim for a four forwad bench again if possible.

That's as close anyone will be allowed to get to Melbourne this year. Hoping for a Cowboys win, we'll beat them. Reckon we'll beat the Roosters then we'll have to beat the Storm and the refs again.

At our home ground. What a piss poor display from cummins. That last pen against manu was a deadset disgrace but to put him on report is just outrageous. f**k

 

[Parra Pride]

Bullshit! Sorry but the forward pass won the Storm the game. You cannot even begin to argue that.

Glasby blatantly offside leading to a try got them rolling in the second half, take out that bullshit and it's an entirely different game.

So what was the go with Tepai?

I reckon King might be gone despite finishing the game .. he pretty much couldnt pass to the right

 

[Joshuatheeel]

The one thing I'll take out of that game is that we f**king took it to them and the Storm, if they make the GF, will sure as hell hope they aren't playing us of all teams.
If we do play them, we have scared them enough to convince me we will beat them.
So, who might we play next week?

And GF is at our home ground!!

Winner of Sharks / cowboys

Well I leave it to the rest of you to analyse the loss.

Anything from here is a bonus.

Storm no chance of winning the GF

Yep ... it was clear as hell ... cannot believe they missed it ... and i reckon it won them the game ... monumental turning point

 

[Incorrect]

We're up to our necks in this comp. Very proud of what we did today. We can beat anyone from here on in.

#3straight

Eels got dis

Hope we play the Cowboys, but I'd put my money on Cronulla.

Penalty Storm.

Rubbish, the f**khead fell into it.

If it had been us it would of been play on.

6-1 penalty count second half.

Melbourne score two dodgy tries and a BS penalty off a blatant dropped ball. We lose by 2, best side didn't win but the best whingers cheating merkins.

They have been penalising contact with the head for years regardless of whether the player slips. You know that they will get the 50/50s down there and we were in the game despite that. We needed to not give them free points, which Ma'u essentially did by blatantly taking out Slater, and Brown cost us the final say with an unnecessary piece of play when they were just looking to drop, create a surrender and have an excuse to waste time.

Dumb footy cost us that game. Individual moments in big games can be crucial and unfortunately they were tonight.

 

[Suitman]

And GF is at our home ground!!

Good.
I'm happy to beat both of those teams.
If we have Gutherson an French today, we win.

 

[El Diablo]

this comp is a farce

call in the pigs

 

[Bazal]

Bullshit! Sorry but the forward pass won the Storm the game. You cannot even begin to argue that.

Lol.

Semi was offside for the kick before his try. But it's ok when it's Parra right?

Shit calls will always go against you. We were in the game regardless and a couple of dumb moments cost us the game.

We got shafted.

Without a doubt we were cheated out of that win. The first try is the only thing you need to point to, nothing else!

Call it again. One booting isn't nearly enough.
