Rd 2 2024: 8pm Penrith v Eels GAME DAY THREAD @ Bluebet Stadium March 15th

[Joshuatheeel]

Not sure replacing tuilagi with another forward is the answer….maybe put hands out there. He was a half, so he can defend on the edge at half and put Dylan in the centre spot in defence

 

[Eelogical]

I’d liked then idea of junior coming off the bench but think we missed him in the early exchanges and probably would have been better with him on to counter penriths rushing defence

Yeah...nah. Regardless of the outcome of this game I think BA played the rotation correctly.

We're f**ked without Simonsson on that left edge.

You'd think an 11yr coach would have a game plan if you lost a back wouldn't you? . It's not un common to lose someone in your backline.
He thought Talagi was the answer? Maybe after 10 linebreaks he will get the picture. Mattersons defending at 5/8 amd Dylan to centre perhaps in defense... BUSH COACH

 

[Pazza]

Here's an idea. Hands to defend at 5/8 and dylbro at centre. Hands to make dummy half scoots in attack

thats what id do, forget the attacking output, youre there for defense

 

[hindy111]

The Panthers are several degrees of class above us, and it shows.

I think they look cooked. Well win this by atleast 12

 

[Sensei Cobra]

Can matto go to centre or carry ?

10 linebreaks and how many tries down that side again?

 

[eels_fan]

Effort to be super proud of

player down, on the back foot neatly the whole half

all our backrowers are more suited to prop than centre. it was going to bite us one day

 

[hindy111]

Strange comment, what’s happened to say that. You don’t like him for some resaon

He has said Tulagi can play centre. I mean we are seeing the evidence of him playing there.
Doorey is a better player

 

[hindy111]

You're right. Tulagi is doing fine. Great coaching

 

[Gherkin]

Push Dyl out one wider so that kelma isn’t so wide in defence.
In attack we need to keep hammering through the middle. Our bench is tronger, they won’t maintain this intensity. Especially if fisher Harris is hurt

 

[Parra Pride]

It's only one and a half games so far, but Paulo is definitely looking much better than last year.

 

[Eelementary]

I hope you're right.

 

[King-Gutho94]

How did penrith get a penalty wtf

 

[Cumberland Eel]

how the f**k is penalty to Riff? Edwards hand is in Cartys face ffs

 

[Happy MEel]

We have a fringe first grader impact edge forward getting absolutely dominated at centre, with better options. He has NFI

 

[Parra Pride]

How the f**k has BA not changed f**king anything about that left edge?

 

[Gherkin]

f**k lussick off and get hands out there

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Russell has been really bloody good tonight
