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

[Bazal]

FFS .... you make your own momentum .... its not like gravity .... or is it?

It is if you're falling off a building

 

[Gary Gutful]

Or f**king a chicken.

We lost momentum when Kaysa threw the forward pass to Timmy in the first half. we were only down 4-6 and were on the attack . They scored soon after.

My first reaction to that pass was - you f**kin idiot, why did you throw that .... but when i saw the replay i dont think it was forward .... and the will smith one was very marginal too

lets just say cam #46454332356 would have never been called for them

 

[eel01s]

Exactly. It was a BS call.

Another issue that needs addressing is goal kicking. Moses needs to improve. He was more accurate last season. We have lost a couple of games this season on this alone.

Do we have a kicking coach? Do we go back to Gutho?

 

[Twizzle]

I believe Lukey is our kicking coach

 

[Bandwagon]

Last week against the Tigers momentum was swinging back and forth all game.

Sure , though how much of that was unforced errors? I reckon quite a lot.

You'd have to think Gutho would need a fair bit of time to get some practice in, I doubt he'd have done a lot of kicking whilst off with the hammy.

Well that’s the last time I turn a game off at half time*

*unless the kids go to bed early again and the missus has that look in her eye

Probably a lot.

I think in terms of us struggling to change momentum we have to remember that we are coming last and therefor currently the worst team in the comp. it’s always going to be hard to change momentum against much better teams. I bet you the last 2 years Newcastle (when they were shit) found it hard to win back momentum too

Yeah, that's true, I'm not just talking about us though.

Peni gave away a dumb, lazy penalty on the 4th tackle of the first set of the game.

Set the tone for the whole night. Stupid, stupid stuff.

We did really well to hang in there for 80 mins tbh. The effort was there from most of them, we just did some dumb things at crucial times.

So close...

*knee

*leg

My bad

 

[Joshuatheeel]

I believe Lukey is our kicking coach

he is an assistant with the titans now

 

[Gronk]

Who now works as assistant coach at the Tits ?

 

[hindy111]

BA needed to adresss goal kicking in off season. He neglected it.

Moses isn't someone id rely on. He is a decent back up kicker.

Anyhow on BA I called after tigers win im not convinced. I like the guy and hope he turns us around. If we lose against the dogs watch the floggings start to come.
Crazy if he doesnt blood some young guys and prepare for 2019

Sharks gave away penalties when we were rucking it off our line. It happened so often that I rule out coincidence.

That’s my conspiracy theory of the day anyway.

 

[strider]

Moses can be as good a kicker as most ... he is just struggling with it a bit atm

Unfortunately we are scoring a f**kload of tries in the corner - and no f**ker has a high success rate from there

 

[JohnStoppafarty]

It's shit that we lost but I won't give up hope while it is still mathematically possible.
