Rd11: 735pm EELS v Raiders GAME DAY THREAD @ GIO Stadium 13/5/23

[Legal Eel]

Finally got some luck

You are disgraceful

it is clear the selections and recruitment errors if the coach are killing this team but you continue to deflect and defend

hope you have heaps of coffee at home and a weeks leave already requested, because you have a dogged defence stint in front of you

 

[King-Gutho94]

Gutho High Tackle

Carty High Tackle

They were soft but there was probably enough contact to justify a penalty.

BA was right though wighton got Dunster with a similar shot which wasnt a penalty.

 

[the phantom menace]

He never fires up like this at pressers...a sign of a man under pressure, perhaps?

I hope it leads him to put a rocket up his playing group.

Arthur probably just realising (fearing) he'll likely miss his 2023 KPI...

 

[emjaycee]

Which of the 10 penalties against us do think wasn't a penalty?

High shots called on Carty and Gutho.
Matto when Big Red got sin binned.
Escort on JA.

 

[King-Gutho94]

I was getting dizzy spells, i've got that new A virus whatever it is. It's a real f**king merkin and even worse it made me watch Parra sober ffs!!

Everyone from NSW probably brought up covid for Magic Round last week

 

[hineyrulz]

Who’s f**ken fault is that ?

That's not the coaches job either mate. He's not really responsible for anything at the club.

 

[Bandwagon]

i find teams have an easy time being disciplined against us cause we dont force the issue.

Yes, to a point. Our PTB is always too slow, that costs us.

Probably but Raiders also hit us high just because we didn't lose the ball doesn't mean it shouldn't be a penalty.

BA was proud i doubt they will get a rocket.

 

[Legal Eel]

Yeah Hodgson is a shit decision maker. Too inexperienced.

Not sure why - but he is shit.

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

...and instead of watching us in a GF, you'd be pullin' ya pud in the back seat.

Well we got smashed, so what good was it making the GF???

Honestly, I'd rather have been pulling my pud in the back seat then get embarrassed like we did in a GF

 

[Chipmunk]

Gutho High Tackle

Carty High Tackle

They both got the player in the head though. Sure there are plenty of others that don't get penalised, but, they did hit them in the head.

We did it was the one where dunster lost it after the linebreak.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

@Poupou Escobar (aka "the great defender")

His job is to come on when the defence is tired.

 

[Bandwagon]

I'd rather have been pulling my pud in the back seat

Well that's pretty obvious mate

 

[JokerEel]

We did it was the one where dunster lost it after the linebreak.

But no penalty

 

[emjaycee]

We did it was the one where dunster lost it after the linebreak.

And we still didn't get the penalty.
Maybe Atkins didnt want to upset Ricky.

 

[emjaycee]

But no penalty

FFS

Guthos was questionable if you penalize that you need to do it to about another 20 a game...

Carty was off the ball around the arm then he loses the ball

 

[Incorrect]

So do you think the 10-3 penalty count against us was fair?

If we infringed 10 times and they infringed 3 times only, then of course it is fair. It's subjective after all. So it's almost not worth discussing. The coach is out of answers and has reached his ceiling IMO. Time for a new voice.
