RD 4: Eels v Tigs - Game Day Thread

[Poupou Escobar]

the fish, he didn't come here to play for Wenty

He's only played a handful of NYC games. As far as I know he has never played reserve grade. This week he is named in jersey 23 for Jersey Flegg.

Though I do think the targeted nature of his signing means we see him as Norman's successor, when we can finally get rid of that merkin.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Correct
Not having a go at Parra , but the tigers were 9-1 down in the penalty count in the 2nd half against the Storm but still guts out a win.
Not sure whats happened with you guys but that grit and playing for one another has gone walk about...

Penalties on your tryline are very different from penalties inside the opposition half.

One of the few genuine on-field leaders we have.

Pou, I was talking to Wittyfan this morning and he told me he saw a motivational poster on Mitchys bedroom wall during a recent visit.
It said: There is no I in team .... but there is no team without M E.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well we were pretty ordinary last year until he joined the team. He turned us into contenders.

I would think given Normie's form and behaviour he may be fast tracked

Mind you I've never seen him play but given all the hype that came with him he must be a decent prospect

You guys intentionally gave away 18 penalties that game - you should have had 3 merkins binned

I don't know although he is on the Team page on the website.

We a still a mathematical chance of making the finals.

I've still got a mathematical chance of having sex with Nicole Kidman. Would take much hard work and an awful lot of luck, though.

Can you get rohypnol over the counter?

I think Corey might spit the dummy if asked to play fullback. That's why he left the Broncos

I'd need more than that mate.

Yep

I'd probably need to give her some sort of general anaesthetic.

Would you like an introduction Ivor?

Niccy is getting on ... you can do better mare

 

[T-Boon]

We are too predictable. The opposition have easily worked our attack out with one out hit ups and the same sweeping back line after 3 hit ups in attacking zone. It' so predictable and boring as shit to watch.

They need to vary up their options in attack and this is Arthurs job but I think he is not a very good coach.

The bomb we put up on the opposition 30 with 4 minutes to go made me sick. What a weak option. It makes me worried overall about Brad Arthurs approach to using the football.

 

[lingard]

Niccy is getting on ... you can do better mare

She's plenty young enough for me. And, no, I'm afraid I couldn't do better. You should see me; 62 years old, a shadow of my former self.

Moses smashed Lawrence one-on-one on his line. He has no problem putting his body in front of runners. But that play he was too focused on getting to Brooks out the back. That sums our team up at the moment - looking for the big play rather than the necessary one.

Uh huh......which one resulted in 6 points? Typical Moses. When its easy he'll add one to the tally....when it counts.....


...and just quietly...give me a break. "was too focused on getting to Brooks out the back"? Eisenhuth, a secondrower received it from the dummy half, didnt dummy, didnt look like passing, didnt THINK of passing, thought about making a side step, then thought he couldnt be arsed, didnt step, ran a straight line to the try line with no guile or mystery......and Moses only had eyes for Brooks out the back...yep that sounds like the gutless M Moses that Tigers fans know and love to see the back of.

Well I need to get all my chemicals ready first. But, yes.
