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

[Soto]

We played for about 15 mins, and got within 1 point and then put in a real lazy set and that was about it. People who reckon we were the better side are playing with themselves.

Definitely not the better side..
When the game was getting tight they looked to expose our weakness...go at Perham.
We wouldn't know what the weakness is in the Roosters because we run hard and tackle hard. Hopefully that's enough to get us a victory at the end of the 80 minutes..we never dissect an opposition.
Was also encouraging to see we bombed Tupou a few times. Mahoney was there to outleap him...ummm kick low to the giraffe ffs

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.

The coach signs these dumb players so he must be responsible surely.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

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.

I think he just plugged a hole after a quick play-the-ball. All fullbacks do it.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Think he was replaced because of injury.
Thumb didn't look good.

Tom?

 

[Eelogical]

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.

For mine, consistency means being able to win or go close to winning games that are a too hard to call as opposed to losing games against teams we are expected to belt.

Euphemism.

That's possible.

We allowed far too many quick play the balls during the match in general, and played the ball too slow ourselves.

Send this to BA and the whole teamView attachment 61609

Does excellence mean being better than everyone else or just the best version of yourself? One is always possible while the other isn't.

 

[hineyrulz]

He was a very smart player. The reason he didn't make it was because he was too small and slow. He was he opposite of powerful.

If he was such a smart player why is he such a dumb coach???? He still can't rotate bench after 9 season.

Don't argue with Aristotle

I reckon for each 3 lots of six agains, the last player who gave the penalty should be binned.

If there are multiple offenders, the attacking team chooses who goes to the bin or the captain takes the fall. Maybe that's why the tides have 30 captains

 

[hineyrulz]

From watching them play. They make poor decisions too often to play a style that requires them to make more decisions and expect success. Just like if we had lighter forwards and played a style that required more forwards running through the middle. It wouldn't suit our players. What we do now works for us.

Playing dumb and lazy???

Baby steps @hineyrulz

Baby steps @hineyrulz

Yeah we still have to get the chase the collision right

Yeah papali'i was still trying to get onside as he was behind the play.

So we were effectively a 11 man defensive line

We targeted Walker defensively, kid did ok, But Papali'i scored twice.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

But we didn't play a powerful game, and hardly have all season.

When we've won we have. When we get away from that gameplan we've lost.

 

[Bandwagon]

That's possible.

We allowed far too many quick play the balls during the match in general, and played the ball too slow ourselves.

Stats say otherwise, we had a faster average PTB speed. 3.54 vs 3.49, f**k all in it, but it shows how unreliable general observation can be without qualification.

How dare us expect to make the top 4.

Mr mediocrity lol.

If it happens it happens, but until we have better recruitment/retention advantages than 12 other clubs we shouldn't expect top four in any given year. We should expect top eight with this squad and take top four as a bonus.

Barrett gorrrrrrrrnnnnn!!!!! Sucks to be a dogs fan, look at how lucky we are with all that stability.
