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

[Happy MEel]

Maybe the attack is making the defence look bad?

I’d say our completion rate is making their attack look good. It has been unacceptable. Complete after points you deadshits.

Just when you think you can sit back and relax....

Only at parra

 

[Avenger]

Papa has been garbage. Absolutely like a garden gnome in defence and his lateral movement is crap. Too much weights not enough speed work.

 

[crocodile]

I’ve had a few but sexton looks like Russell

With very short legs

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Jake arthur copping it in the crowd

Would they prefer we had Nathan Brown or Mitch Rein on the bench to cover the backline injury?

 

[hineyrulz]

Simonson was the second coming of Semi according to TCT lol. He looks bog average.

He’s shit

 

[Gronk]

Wow very rusty. We got dis.

Well unlike us forum goers. Most punters are struggling to understand why on earth we would move our 1st choice half into the centres and bring on the coaches son JA.

 

[hineyrulz]

At least Jakey bit will get some big mins, he tried real hard in the pre season and having your daddy as coach is a real big hindrance.

Good on ya Jakey well deserved!!

 

[crocodile]

Why wasn’t that penalty try ?

Exactly. Dyllybags got 3 weeks for the same thing. Now, not even a whimper.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yep Papaliis defensive reads / decisions have also been shit.

He's only a good edge forward in attack, which means he's not really an edge forward.

 

[Eelementary]

So am I biased, or were we robbed of an 8-point try?

And now Russell may miss the rest of the game...

f**k me, NRL officiating is an amateur's game...

 

[Happy MEel]

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

Agree Paps has been terrible in defence but Simmonsen refuses to let Penisini cover a defender and it has resulted in two
Tries. Fergo was the same. I have no idea how wingers get this so wrong so often. Deciding when to support your centre or stay out and cover the outside man is one of their main jobs in defence.

 

[The Phelan Folly]

Why are f**kwits blaming Simmonsen??

 

[hineyrulz]

Well unlike us forum goers. Most punters are struggling to understand why on earth we would move our 1st choice half into the centres and bring on the coaches son JA.

Anyone with a brain is also asking the same question.

 

[Jake the snake]

How is possible that you leak that many tries? Who’s the f**king defensive coach ? What have they been doing if the off season, playing touch ?

 

[Gronk]

Crazy half. Neither team can defend the goal line.

Every time we gifted them the ball with an error, they scored a soft try.

We are completing at 66%. Sort that out and we roll them 62-48.

 

[JokerEel]

Exactly. Dyllybags got 3 weeks for the same thing. Now, not even a whimper.

If it was over the tryline it would have been but he was attempting to prevent a try.

Radradra never did anything in pre-season. Sometimes he didn't even turn up before January.
