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

[Avenger]

Just saw the presser. Arthur is delusional, entitled and up beat. I can’t wait until you are sacked!!! I’m going to celebrate so hard that I’ll buy everyone here a drink.

 

[Lethal]

I thought the refereeing was great. Even keel the whole way. Struggling to think of any howlers?
Both teams failed their challenges (ie ref was right)

Referring was great? On the basis that both teams lost their challenges? Both 70+ minutes in?

 

[JokerEel]

Usually when you have over 26 minutes of the ball you win but then when your completion rate is that low you have no hope

 

[The Predictor]

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

Spot on, we are very easily pleased, which speaks of how far we have regressed

Dylan is not a right side player. He plays a tad sideways on the right. Genuine left side player that excels off his left foot. But we had no other option since Moses was out. Undoubtedly Broncos were lucky and I'm not cutting my wrist like half of you guys on here.

Yep, there’s always next weeks flogging

It was like he was trying to convince everyone that things are going well. He’s an embarrassment.

 

[Pazza]

Bea Arthur liked a lot we did.

f**k off you deluded clownshoes.

BA doesn't like to win.... this performance was right up his alley

Did you write that because he said it or are you guessing?

Did he say it? I haven’t watched it yet. Please say he said it.

Front load, chase the collision., ice the moments.

 

[Wally21]

Paulo is delusional. We were in it right up until the end and it was just the bounce of the ball that beat us. f**k me, is that the message from our leaders?

Funny thing is Noise, the boys ice the possession and field position and we do win. It was far better, but our attack is putrid with Lussick in and Moses out
EDIT - I said it earlier, Dylan is one of the best defensive halves if not the best, but he is not a $1mil per season attacking half

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Ennis is going on about how we haven't brought any Junior forwards through. He is right there isn't anyone in CUP apart from Guymer and Parker...

And MA and Pryke…

 

[The Predictor]

I liked a lot of what I saw tonight, sucks losing obviously, but we were better by a long way, just not quite there.

Is that u Brad ? Lol

You are an absolute negative flog. That's all that needs to be said

 

[Zoso]

Talagi 24 runs / 225 m, 6 TB, 3 Lb, 1 try…at 19 in his 5th game….has Pensini ever had a game like that (and I rate him)

hard marker !

Hard marking indeed!
I’d like to see him (and his footwork) at fullback when it’s dry.
He’ll get caught out defensively until he’s more experienced but will add something different in attack immediately.

 

[JokerEel]

And MA and Pryke…

Ah yeah Pryke is back in CUP this week as well

 

[Bandwagon]

I need to watch again but I thought he pushed up through middle like we haven’t had for a while, whereas Gutho sweeps around the back more.

In meterage Gutho pushes through the middle more than every other fullback bar maybe Edwards, sweeps when we go into shape inside 20.

 

[JokerEel]

Yes I am sure he said Ice the moments

 

[The Predictor]

The presser says it all Parra is a lost cause with no redemption, the new North Sydney Bears…..absolutely disgraceful, they talk shit like that to keep their jobs , management to players, don’t care for the poor knts continuing to show up and support whatever u want call them

He IS that attacking player when he’s playing number six and is allowed to run. He ISN’T a number 7. Make a judgement on his game when he’s actually in his position

 

[Joshuatheeel]

I think Talagi looks a real hot prospect. I'd say his ceiling is higher then Pensini who I rate also.

Different positions/skill sets!! Exactly what we need. Now we need that big fast winger!

BTW Pensini made 184 m, was pretty dangerous Tonight

f**k off you deluded clownshoes.

There was a lot to like in what we did.
