Rd10 2024: 8pm Eels v Broncos GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank 10th May

[oldmancraigy]

Hot take: let's leave Blaize at FB the rest of the year (in preparation for next year)
Sell Dylan to the highest bidder, and spend the savings on poaching 2 young talents
Next year Gutho at 6

 

[JokerEel]

I was actually shocked how well Blaize played I was predicting 3-4 dropped bombs.

He defended better than Walsh and took bombs better..

 

[Das Hassler]

Blaze Takagi has the potential to be the best and worst of Shaun Johnson...awesome natural talent though.
Good game in the wet to watch as a neutral fan.

 

[JokerEel]

Can the players start now with a sprint coach!

 

[Eelogical]

I think @King-Gutho94 said it, Sivo should be made to watch 12 hours of Semi tapes every f**king week. He has all the impact of a wet lettuce leaf

Iceberg or butterhead?

 

[Wally21]

Disappointed with the result!

But the effort was pretty good. Broncos had a bit to much class for us. If that effort continues, we will get a lot more wins this year.

Moses is a massive addition next week!!

While Talagi had a pretty good fullback debut! Did enough to show he could be a very good fullback. Next 4-5 weeks is going to give him some really good experience.

Agree with everything you have said Josh. But it’s a bit of a worry that we are excited by a good effort. If we had the playing roster of the Titans, I’d be ok with it. I’m not sure I’m ok with it considering our roster

 

[lucablight]

We had all the tools to win this game tonight. I reckon if Bennett was coaching this mob against a Reynolds-less Broncos side at Commbank we win.

 

[Avenger]

Dismiss us at your peril. f**k OFF Lane you useless heap of crap.

 

[Jake the snake]

how bad is lane needs to be dropped.
Lussick needs to be sacked along with the coach.

Brown, Superman, Talagi as well as forward tried.
In the end not good enough

 

[eel01s]

Not our night. Not much went our way. It hurt gifting them 12 points.

We need pace, stat.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

I thought Russell played well tonight
Centres his position

 

[Wally21]

Iceberg or butterhead?

Minuette

Dismiss us at your peril. f**k OFF Lane you useless heap of crap.

His documentary was released so he realized he didn’t need to play good anymore

 

[DaveMc]

What am I missing? There are very few, if any, positives from tonight. We’re still a rabble. Absolutely no f**king chance of playing finals, let alone challenging for a title.

But the problem is that it gets worse from here. The forwards are aging, not getting better. We need a wholesale clean out.

 

[Wally21]

I thought Russell played well tonight
Centres his position

I agree. But as someone else said CE, he should be a back up, not a top 17 player

 

[Zoso]

Frustrating. We weren’t awful, in general play we were good enough. Until we weren’t…
Left a few tries out there and handed them two.
Can see why we want Blaize. like how he was looking for the ball. Matto was good. Lane is a passenger. Russell better at centre and worth keeping there.
Lussick kicking on the 4th twice was dumb. You’re not gonna get run on the ball on a wet night. Again, just dumb.

 

[Noise]

Dismiss us at your peril. f**k OFF Lane you useless heap of crap.

I’ve never been able to cop the lazy shitbag.

And who the fuvk thought lane would be a good choice for a documentary? He’s a lazy plodder with not much athletic ability and no personality. The only mildly interesting thing about him is he’s tall.

After BA he’d be the next one I’d like to shoot from a canon.

I slightly disagree Dave. The basics are all there. Our execution however is crap. I love Dyl and his effort. But he is not a $1mil attacking half.

 

[Parra Cheeses]

Can Kelma and Lane hold hands and go for a little stroll down to the river and not come back please

Long walk off a short wharf

I’d personally leave the decision on how Dylan is playing when he goes back to number 6
