RD 4: Eels v Tigs - Game Day Thread

[I'm a loser baby...]

I did my own calcs. They were surprisingly accurate (give or take a couple of decimal points).

Only nerds care about decimal points.

Only dumb merkins round up or down.

 

[Gary Gutful]

That's been my experience 87.638% of the time.

Well we can't get any lower

Are you a rival fan or something? Why are you always so keen to focus on the negatives?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The only difference between Burgess and Packer was the eye contact. The both lead with their elbows into the heads of the defenders.

Just saying that if you a serious about game related brain injuries then leading with elbow to the head intentional or not is bad for a defender and he will get time.

An attacker however is judged on his intent.

Inconsistent if you ask me.

It’s a good point. Accidental head high from a defender is penalised while from an attacker it’s ‘just an accident’. It’s also an accident by the defender FFS!

Meanwhile Kenny Edwards gets penalised for an unintentional high tackle on Twal that bounced off his collar bone and ended up brushing his neck. Yes it should have been penalised bc the rule is that the defender cannot mess with the neck or head. Period.

Packer hits Kaysa's jaw with the point of his elbow and nothing. It's unintentional and therefore falls in the same category as a head clash.

Weird.

Um.....Eisenhuth was passed the ball and strolled in straight line and scored the try. Wouldnt that make Brooks the decoy?

Sometimes the decoy gets the ball. That’s the benefit of having numbers in attack.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Tigers score how many points in last 3 games prior to eels game?

Some seem to be missing the point. Apparently worse attack in league.

Also apparently the best defence yet they conceded four tries. A sample of three just became a sample of four and everything changed.

We scored as many tries as our previous three games put together.

Are you new here merkin?

85% of the sad pricks on here focus on nothing but the f**ken negatives!

I just wish he had more mates with the same attitude.

Mitchell just wishes he had mates.

Don’t be ridiculous. If the decoy gets the ball then he is the runner and the runner becomes the decoy!

We’ve even managed to turn a positive (some late tries against the Tigers) into a negative.

That’s an impressive dedication to negativity.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Looks like he just wishes he had mates who would get up and play the f**ken ball quicker.

So how are they supposed to know who will get the ball FFS???

Lol a halfback shouted instructions at his teammates....f**ken criminal!

Joey in his prime would have fist f**ked anyone who didn't play the ball quickly.

Thought it was funny at the time, probably not and potentially offensive. Not my intention.

unusual instruction...."F@#k me C#$t".

Is that a direct instruction or code for one of BA's plays?

You're not doing a very good job of staying away tbh.

Jilted love is such a shame....

And Thurston manfully shoves his headgear into the urethra of blokes who slack off....he''s "ultra-competitive"
