Rd10: Eels v Roosters GAME DAY THREAD @ Suncorp 15/5/22

[lingard]

We don't have a roster that can play a style that requires a lot of decisions under pressure.

How do you know that?

 

[Bandwagon]

I think he was in the line cos oppa was out. Maybe it was kidwells instructions

Absolutely.

He defended in the line only whilst Oppa was binned.

 

[hineyrulz]

So you disagree we have a lot of dumb players? Our team is powerful mate. That is the type of player we mostly have and why we play the way we do.

They are a perfect reflection of their coach then.

 

[Bandwagon]

Of course, have no issue with Gutho being in the line….decisions are made with the spit second…just like drown decision to kick. But it doesn’t deserve abuse…

Yeah it does, it's f**king footy, you mouth off to merkins who do dumb shit.

It isn't a f**king tea party.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

We are a good team and can win this year if we play to our ceiling (as shown by storm / panthers win). But do so much dump shit.

Reckon a fit Hodgson is going to be one of our better signings if he is fit! It’s what this side is missing! A smart “elite” player in the spine!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

They lost to the Bulldogs ffs

So they should underperform every week?

Moreover, the effort was hardly there compared to last week, we can keep making excuses if we like.

No team is up every week. That's why there's upsets. The Roosters lost to the Bulldogs ffs!

I still don't get BA's use of the bench. Paps and lane were gassed and lane was only replaced coz he feined a wrist injury.

We used alot of energy last week and this week we had to defend with 12

 

[Soto]

It’s not what a captain does, sure he could of passed but it was a split decision mistake and he chose the wrong one. Screaming at a team mate on the field is f**ked and not what a leader does.

Honestly can't blame Guth there for doing what he did. Heat of the moment stuff but yes 2 players unmarked backing up inside. Ok if dylbro does a soft kick for Perham. He overcooked it.
It happens but need to ice these opportunities.
Also surprised dylbro doesn't go himself because probably gets past tedesco

 

[hineyrulz]

Can someone find out if Ange Postecoglou is available? Proven winner everywhere he goes..love the bloke

He has hair as well.

Yeah reed has made some bad decisions and the halves don't really know how to control the game

Hodgo can be the cam for us if he can keep fit

Try that seals it is at least 3-4 meters forward, and the penalty against Drown that gifted them a seven point lead nailed the coffin.

We were the better side.

Less errors

Less missed tackles

More meters

More tackle breaks

Better completion rate

Faster PTB

More forced dropouts.

That penalty on Brown was utter bullshit - 5 minutes goes by, and because the cat stays down, they get a penalty....


The NRL can go and get f**ked.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Na, Drown was one of our best, a 50:50 decision in the last 2 mins doesn’t deserve that….he should have been doing that to our middles 15 mins in….

 

[Soto]

He has hair as well.

Hurry up and get him over here

 

[yy_cheng]

Maybe that would cause a demarcation dispute. Maybe he thought that's Barlow's department

 

[Chipmunk]

Did Drown abuse Gutho when he failed to defuse a kick for Teddys try or wasn’t there for Walkers try……

In fairness on Walker's try he was defending in the line as we were a man down.

The decision to do this was probably the real culprit. Would Gutho have made this decision himself, or would he have been instructed to by the coaching staff? I can't see Gutho making that decision himself.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I've seen enough this year to form the opinion that we won't win it. We're capable, but consistency is our biggest concern.

Of course we're capable but so are several other teams. Consistency doesn't mean winning every week or even beating the other good teams more than half the time.

 

[Bandwagon]

It's not about what you deserve, in the heat of the game that's what happens, you f**k up, you get yelled at, you get on with it.

I'm pretty damn sure no one on field gives a shit, it's not personal, it's what it is.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Games like today are the reason we we won’t make the top 4

No, games like today show why we shouldn't expect to be top four certainties.

 

[Soto]

Send this to BA and the whole team

 

[Gronk]

Paulo and RCG lost the forward battle tonight.

Probably Paulo's worse game since returning from canberra.

Dylan Brown's kick that hit corner post probably was the game in a nutshell. Stays in the field roosters have work there way out 10m out from a set defence line. Instead 7 tackle set allows them down the field for a repeat set then penalty.

Yep was going to say that Jnr, Reg and Nrown were nullified. That and being down 3 tries to 1 at oranges meant that we gassed ourselves in the catchup.
