Rd 9: Live Game Day Thread - Eels v Sharks, Saturday 05 May

[Wally21]

Yeah I think so too. Sharks are one speed. Sadly at the moment we’re in reverse

Agreed. We should own them based on last week. But I don’t have a good feeling. This is going to be one of those f**ked, shoulda coulda woulda games

 

[Chipmunk]

We appear pedestrian with the ball. Our forwards make little penetration to the oppositon defence in the middle and we go no where when we go wide because the defence has endless time so is sitting there waiting for us.

Awesome.

 

[Wally21]

ahh the trivago ads...

How hot is she but...

 

[84 Baby]

Ok I’m seriously turning this off. If we turn it around this half you can all thank with booze or cash tomorrow. Or some sweet ass

So, pretty much every game at Shark Park since about 1998?

 

[Bandwagon]

I reckon we are in this, just need to hold the f**king ball and jag a penalty or two.

 

[TheParraboy]

eels 45% of the ball

Yep!!! Actually since 2001 when Vella sprinted 70m up the sideline and we won 40 zip. I was there as a guest of the Sharkies. Drank their beer and partied like a merkin

Yeah it's way closer than it looks. Main difference is three big, bad reads on our line.

By that I mean that both sides have been equally shit, btw.

She goes very well

Them more, us less.

is it bad?

 

[TheParraboy]

Since Fifita announced his alliance with Tonga, he has been the form prop of the game

 

[Lemon Squash]

We are definitely off with the ball, timing is just out a bit and it’s making a massive difference.

If we can sharpen up a bit and score first we aren’t out of it.

Or the more likely scenario where we capitulate in the 2nd half and get beaten by 40

 

[Bazal]

is it bad?

Nah, not awful. 16-4

Woeful game of footy, two bad reads from Gennings and a try off a forward pass. They are playing to their normal spoiling level very well though, makes attacking hard but we've had a few decent shots still.

We won the game mate, 26-22

 

[Gazzamatta]

Making some head way through the middle at the back end. Fingers crossed. Matagi 3rd game in is shit as predicted.
