Rd 5 Eels vs The Mighty Raiders game day thread

[Noise]

We'll win our next three. Who we playing?

Whoops wrong quote. Was meant to be a response to what type of player

A good hooker and a couple of quality middle forwards would be a good start

 

[Chipmunk]

How was that effort on a winger by Kaysa?

Not even close to an 80 minute NRL standard No. 9.

It's tactically dumb to even consider it.

 

[IFR33K]

Five tries to three in Canberra isn't too bad. We are badly lacking in edge forwards. These are key players in attack and defence and two of our best haven't been available for a couple of weeks.

Not going to slit my wrists just yet.

 

[T.S Quint]

Like every hooker. The problem is his mates leaving him isolated in defence. That's one of the reasons hookers are able to defend in the middle.

No, not like every hooker.
I don't remember that happening to Peats.
Or Cameron smith. Or Josh Hodgson. Or Jake Friend.
Hell, I don't even remember it happening to Isaac Degois.

The team is living off the efforts of last season. Effort is just not there.

We've lasted this many years. What's another one..

 

[T.S Quint]

Kaysa = scapegoat

 

[Chipmunk]

Anyone still got top 8 hopes lol?

We're in a battle with 10 other teams for a spot and all 10 of those are hoping that one or two of the top 7 teams (Storm, Roosters, Panthers, Raiders, Broncos, Cowboys and Sharks) fall in a heap or get some injuries.

If they don't get injuries ?

 

[T.S Quint]

On a positive note, I thought Fritchard was better today.

 

[Lethal]

Kaysa was one of our better tonight

you are a deadset f**king genius.

If that Raiders side bought their A game for 80 minutes instead of 40 minutes, they would have put 50 on us.

The top 6-7 teams...we need a few injuries for them to miss the Top 8.

Do you think getting Tepai and Edwards back will fix most of our problems?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

How was that effort on a winger by Kaysa?

The whole point of wingers is that they are great attackers in one-on-one situations. How many hookers would you expect to stop a 100kg winger one-on-one? I reckon Cam Smith might be the only one.

 

[Jake the snake]

IF we don't make the 8 again will Arthur retain his job? How long can we give him without making finals footy or not winning the comp for that matter.

Preparation is the key. Ronson or Wiltshire?

Two weeks in a row we have been carved up by the opposition's left side edge forward.

If my grandmother had balls she'd be my grandfather.


We blew a chance or two and Corey got held up, but as our record down there indicates, we were always against it. Corey needs to really step up and play accordingly to how he's being paid.

If we miss the 8 then massive questions need to be asked. He built this squad (which is weak IMO ),has been here for several years and delivered SFA.
