Rd1: Eels v Titans GAME DAY THREAD @ Comm Bank Stadium 13/3/22

[hindy111]

That was one of the worse defensive performances I have witnessed. I called it early before Tirans scored. We just aren't holding them down or being aggressive. Trying to play touch footy.

 

[hindy111]

They wanted revenge against Penrith. Who gives a f**k about the Titans? It's round one. Plenty of teams aren't playing with intensity.

Did you watch the season opener? Sets a tone.

 

[Eelectrica]

Crazy half. Neither team can defend the goal line.

 

[Noise]

Simonson is useless and slow.

 

[Avenger]

Weren’t you happy with the Bailey signing? Asking for a friend.

I was because he’s fast but it still does not exclude him from being pencilled in to the shit list.

 

[84 Baby]

Defensive duel

They don’t respect the opposition and it shows.

Jake arthur copping it in the crowd

 

[Incorrect]

Imagine scoring 26 points in your first half of competitive footy for the year and yet still lucky to be in front!! Eels footy!!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Commentators jizzing about the attack and ignoring the appalling defence from both teams.

Maybe the attack is making the defence look bad?

 

[Parra Pride]

We suck.

 

[Wally21]

Half time thoughts…
- ref is dreadful
- our defense is worse
- simonson and Papali’i in particular
- how campbells knees weren’t an 8 point try I’ll never know
-

 

[Suitman]

We have points in us and the Tits are there for the taking. Keep playing Parraball.
Cut the mistakes, slide in defence rather than up and in, and we have this.
It's a simple game.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

So it’s all Simonsen fault, but no mention of Papa…..as much as his fault as anyone on that edge.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I reckon we could see a much different second half. Maybe just three tries.

 

[hineyrulz]

Why aren’t we chasing the collision!!!

Is this our identity???

Effort areas FFS!!

 

[Tooooks]

Some of the attack has been slick, yes. But letting in 4 tries against a fairly mediocre team is disappointing.

Yep Papaliis defensive reads / decisions have also been shit.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It's not sustainable. We only need to win this game. Holding the ball is something that requires zero extra effort.

Guth better rip em a new one in the second half
