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

[JokerEel]

Eele, Russell looked better tonight IMO. However he should be a back up, not top 17

Next season he will be a backup with Lomax here

 

[Bandwagon]

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...

Forwards are different beasts, the likes of Emu and Moretti have time to prove themselves.

 

[T-Boon]

Can the players start now with a sprint coach!

Penisini needs a team of sprint coaches. He needs to spend the off season in Jamaica.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Ennis brain dead talking up Walsh long kicking game got home broncos…and eels had none…Walsh had 3 kicks for 26 m average…..Drown had 8 for 34 average….

 

[Avenger]

I thought Russell played well tonight
Centres his position

It is when all our centres are out injured.

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

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.

Can’t wait for the coach presser: “ we need to just ice those moments”

 

[Gherkin]

Strange game. Can’t remember a game where we’ve bombed that many tries. Plus we gave away two intercept tries.
Disappointing result especially considering our ladder position, but a few positives to take away from it.
Thought Russell was solid especially considering he was marking Staggs.
Simonsonn’s effort was great, just needs to use his brain a bit more.
Matto needs to start even when at full strength, probably in place of lane. But could push hopgood to the bench.
Talagi showed his talent, but also his inexperience. There’s a quality first grader there, just needs time to develop.
Criticism of Sanders is harsh, he’s still a kid and has lane playing outside him.
We can’t persist with Lussick as starting 9. They’ve mismanaged Hands badly, minimal minutes off the bench and playing in the halves in cup. Time to either start him in front of lussick or have him playing 50 off the bench

Bea Arthur liked a lot we did.

f**k off you deluded clownshoes.

 

[Bandwagon]

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.

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

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

And Graham said we were playing without confidence. I thought we played fast and with confidence, we just didn’t execute.

 

[hineyrulz]

It was just the bounce of the ball that cost us.


“You can’t help bad luck”

 

[Noise]

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?

 

[TheParraboy]

We have belief..

Better for most of it tonight and better for most of it against Manly. That’s what’s frustrating.

 

[Parra Cheeses]

Mediocrity isn’t punished at this club. The buck stops at the front office.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

I like Simonsson.

Don't rate Talagi.

Penisini is a weapon, and we have no idea how to use him.

Russell is average.

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 !

 

[Noise]

We have belief..

Great news! Now just need some brains, skill and more first graders.
