Rd10: Parra v Warriors GAME DAY THREAD @ Suncorp 16/5/21

[Noise]

Well missed tackles (along with penalties and errors) reduce your fantasy points, so it's probably not that rare. The reason his total points were so low is because he was uninvolved in attack. He's clearly lost a lot of fitness. In round one he had 4 tackle breaks and 42 post-contact metres. Today he had zero TB and 24 PCM.

It’s extremely rare for 80 min players to finish in single digits. Im fairly confident he would be the only 80min player this year to finish with more missed tackles than points.

Do you feel Fergo is at NRL standards? I don't think he offers a lot anymore. Trys hard but lacks spark these days. Turns so slow also.

His go forward is still awesome. And he is still an NRL quality finisher. He's worth about $400k.

He didn't.

Umm Storm scored a flurry and have been playing against 12 men.

Must be the brave STG team stopping them putting on 60....

The Dragons were very brave though..
and so were the Titans in the game against Panthers
What a pity the Dragons and the Titans had players who didn't watch the earlier games - and had a send-off.....

I don't. I reckon a guy like George Jennings would be superior

Any idea what the 6 again count was after we got to 24-0, seemed like an U7 game where the official evens it up.

Eels 4 - Warriors 6

Good win. What a debut for Jake. I loved the fact that Moses took control early and said to him, leave it to me young fella and took the pressure off him which was great. That try to seal would be the best moment of the weekend and how good was it?? With all the controversy of the sin-bins and send offs, we have this feel good moment. Brad couldnt be more proud of his son. Those scenes of him screaming for joy in the box were truly amazing. And then Jake getting amongst with his family and friends. Thats something he'll never ever forget. Well done Jakob.

Speaking of sin-bins, ours was the only game that didnt have any. We behaved really well. Well done fellas.

Did we behave well or just a little more surreptitious.

Can someone tell me why a bench forward second rower is so much better defensively than our 600k superstar centre???


We will not win anything with Wanker Blake, he is absolutely f**king clueless out there. Sell him off to the desperate dogs or something. Woeful. I got f**king dizzy watching him.

 

[hineyrulz]

It was awesome to see Jake and his mates after the game, also BA Jr Jr was out there buzzing about after Jake went in.

BA grew a few strands of hair back when Jake iced the game. It was very exciting!!

But his speed made us look so much more dangerous

 

[Malabar Eel]

Flashback to 2018. should Jakob have made his debut earlier?

Hes associated with crims.?

The average play-the-ball speed was 3.93s (Parra) to 3.54s (Warriors). That's the eighth time in ten games we've let the opposition play the ball quicker than us, which is odd for the team with the most post-contact metres. But hey, at least we've still conceded the fewest penalties.

That is because teams are trying to slow our massive packs roll. Otherwise we would run riot over all comers. It is a blatant and obvious tactic and why I said previously that if the refs policed the ruck properly, it would benefit us the most. No team would be able to contain us.

Those controversial moments in the East game for example would have never happened because we would have steam rolled their pack. It's keeping teams in the game against us unfairly. I'm sick of it and also the skinny 10 metres teams are getting away with against us.

BA should make a smart and tactical stink about it in the after game pressers. But unfortunately he won't.

Well a continuous 6 again infringement on tackle 1or 2 was what worked for STG and Easts tried to duplicate.

That has been taken away from them now as they face a sin bin.

This will only make us more dominant in the middle.
