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

[Incorrect]

Might be better in the long run to win a game that ugly first up.... But it shows were still nowhere near the Panthers and Storm level. Injury looks like cruelling the Storm's chances so unless someone else stands up, who can go with the Panthers?

 

[Happy MEel]

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

I’d rather Cartwright.

 

[lucablight]

Parramatta Eels and mugfest heart attack matches that go down to the wire. Name a more likely duo.

 

[IFR33K]

It’s a joke he’s even out there, only Bea and Pou think it’s a good idea.

It’s right up there with Chris Anderson playing his son Ben at Melbourne.

 

[Happy MEel]

Jake Arthur looks like a guy trying so hard not to make a mistake. He looks really unsure of himself and everything he does.

Don't want to pick on the bloke, but I don't think he's ready for first grade by any stretch...

JA…the human handbrake.

 

[Incorrect]

So... Zac Cini on the wing next week??

I just vomited in my mouth a little...

 

[Snoochies]

We played like shite and won......move on..

That's exactly it. Everything slows down around him....

When did we buy him?

Would've been good if we had more blokes not making mistakes. We had 46% of the ball in the first half. 64% in the second. Follow the f**king gameplan ffs

I feel like we just clocked off a fraction after getting that 26-12 lead. We just expected to win it 50-12 or something. There's some fight in these Titans.
Lesson learned hopefully.

Agree. He just shovels the ball on. No threat to run. Not drawing defenders.

Probably not entirely his fault. He is probably told not to overplay and he takes it too far

 

[Chipmunk]

We were probably the better team for the majority of the match.

All you can do at this stage of the season is get the two points, but I'm not sure we don't get more out of the result going the other way in the end.

Hopefully we at least get a bit of a wake up call.

Surely Brown back next week, Niukore back will add a bit.

 

[Snoochies]

At the end of the day, you'd rather test the likes of Arthur now in round 1 and give experience. Injuries happen, we need back ups. To have backups who have actually played in the NRL, that's a good thing.

 

[Noise]

It’s embarrassing that Jake Arthur gets picked in first grade.

 

[Parra Pride]

Well that was shit. Back to Elden Ring, see you f**kwits next year.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We know what it takes to win games. Jake Arthur needs to start in week two of the finals.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Well that was shit. Back to Elden Ring, see you f**kwits next year.

I think you’ll have to change your user name mate

 

[Incorrect]

When did we buy him?

During the week. He played in our reserve grade side yesterday.

And we didn't buy him per se.... We gave the Tigers a 1988 Holden Camira and a 3 year subscription to Street Machine magazine to take him off their hands....

 

[lucablight]

Watching that Parra match was far more difficult than any Elden ring boss.
