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

[eels4life87]

Brendan hands- steps up last year when Hodgson became unavailable. Gets thanked by Lussick getting signed by R&R and becoming for some brain dead reason the number 1 picked hooker. Doesn’t get named for games. Only gets named as a replacement player when someone becomes unavailable. Only comes onto the field once the game is over and the eels have no chance of winning. FML. It will serve the club right if he goes elsewhere

 

[hineyrulz]

Bombed try number 7.

Blaize will have no problem hooking up with one of the Chanel 9 commentators, fmd it’s sickly

Hope it’s Danika and not Gus

 

[84 Baby]

Will Penisini is useless

Been a bit limp tonight

 

[Gherkin]

Blaize looks like he’s been studying at the simonson school of intelligence as well

Thank f**k we had all the ball and field position for the majority of that match, kept the score at least respectable. I think the rain in the second half also helped out, the Broncos really need it to be dry.

We can't say we didn't have our chances to do something, we just simply couldn't deliver when it mattered. So many times the last pass let us down. We had enough chances to score 8 tries...

It's interesting watching us when you know we're no f**ken chance. It's hard to get enthused with anything during the match.

Talagi went OK at times and will be better for the run.

Moses back next week should be interesting. Likely be the NSW 7 now if he can stay on the field.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

LOL Blaize is certainly entertaining

thought Moses was due back round 12?

 

[Happy MEel]

Yes because we’ve still looked shit

Hmmm…I disagree. We looked more fluent in attack and our ruck looked more solid.

 

[TheParraboy]

Can a few of you answer this for me

Did we receive bad ref calls tonight?
and how influential was the refereeing in the result

cheers

 

[Wally21]

Dyl is a better defender, but no question Mam is a better attacking half. So much better in the red zone

 

[Joshuatheeel]

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.

No. I don’t believe the officiating had any influence on the game. We were just poor in execution in attack

Yes we asked questions. A bit of polish and we could of had 5 or 6 tries. Brisbane on the other hand where handed 2 and scored a few magic/fluked ones. Overall I thought we where the better side except for that bit of polish finishing.

I think Blaize showed what a fast fullback with good feet does to the attack. It creates space for himself and others.

Brisbane didn’t score after he came on either

Nah he let alot go tonight from both sides..

Eels lost that game to be honest we had enough ball to win it just missed Moses.

They announced on the Fox coverage back next week

Zero! He was good!

 

[hindy111]

If Bryce is fit surely Lane gets dropped. His forms just woefull

I hope that’s true. It wouldn’t surprise me though. Mitch has always been a notoriously fast healer coming back from injury
