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

[TheRam]

There is something seriously wrong when Matagi does his most powerful hit up of the match with 2 minutes to go.

That only proves my point merkin. We only look like world beaters when the opposition ease off that 5%. That's all it takes. Then our boys who are generally always trying start to put on the meters and power. Which is a false sense of quality from our boys.

13th is like kissing your sister

Your hot sister but!

 

[TheRam]

Knew it would be a tough night when Terepo gave a penalty after 40 seconds. No discipline from the kick off.
Would like to see Au’va back in the team.
Moera been off this year.
Lost his strength after cutting his hair, Sampson like.

This year???

 

[Gary Gutful]

No, he meant next year.

 

[strider]

I thought he meant 2020

Good to see Rammy continuing with the positive energy he’s known and loved for

 

[TheRam]

Ram who is your best 3 props in game.

Mine are as this

1 Fafita
2 Vaughn
3 Klemmer

Jnr needs to drop 4 or 5kgs and he can play 50mins.

That is probably very close but I still think that Jesse Bromwich is very much up there. Also if the Burgii bros keep playing like they have are also hard to beat, but they can have a relapse I suppose to the crap that they were offering the last couple of seasons. But If they keep it up, are right up there. And I also like Bunty Afoa, who is still only 21 188m tall and 101kg but growing. I think he is one to look out for.

When we become a legitimate winning team you will see a side of me that will be absolutely giddy with positivity.

Till then we are f**ked merkin!!!

 

[emjaycee]

Kicking game also killed us. Very poor choices. That used to be a strength of norman and moses but not any more.

And I reckon it will prove very costly.

Come on be honest. You killed off that side of yourself decades ago.
You know what people really like about Gunco? Besides being supremely fit, he’s not that skilful but his positivity is infectious and it’s no real surprise to me that we are 2 from 4 with him and 0 from 5 without

Already has. Do they actually practice mid field bombs where nobody chases at training? Seems a strange strategy but its what we have week in week out except occasionally. Maybe im missing something. Im always up for a strong explanation.

Our kick chase has been unacceptable all season!!!

That’s an attitude thing and something that needed to be addressed weeks ago. Questions need to be asked.

No Parra killed that off years ago. You know what people really like about a football team? Besides being their team and the colours that they wear? Winning!!!!

If you think Paulo is as good as Fifita, then you're dreaming. Maybe if we had two or even three Paulo's you'd be right. Fifita has a massive engine, and can play for the full 80 at quality level if needed. Paulo has at best two 20 min stints at various levels during a game. I wish as much as I love Paulo that he was Fifita.

He may not be in Fafita's category (which i am not sure a specifically said he was as good as Fafita either) but he is certainly better than Matagi and seeing as how we were having to cover for him last night having Paulo in there would have made us much more competitive.

We lost by 2 points, Paulo could have been that difference up front we needed.

Also the reason i bring up Paulo is because we are linked to him and look like we have him, the lack of other options on the market makes him a massive benefit to us.

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.

That can’t be right. @Chipmunk said we were out of the game for the first 74 minutes. So we must have lost it walking onto the field

Was that before or after he called us all a bunch of f**kwits?

Is bandwagon’s sister a bad kisser?

 

[Dibs]

In between I think. We were a bunch of f*ckwits then we were out of it for 74 minutes and then once again we were a bunch of f*ckwits
