Rd12: Eels v Canberra GAME DAY THREAD in Canberra 29/5/22

[Gronk]

Or he can be the 17th man on the bench, for backline cover?

That would normally work but Marata is our backs cover now he’s fit.

 

[Gronk]

Well not at the moment Blake is going well on the Wing and Opa's defence has been outstanding.

Yeah a try saved is worth a try scored.

 

[hindy111]

We won all 3 grades. I think the first time this season. Boom boom boom.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

*boom, I want you in my room

 

[IFR33K]

Good song that one.

Just thinking, that decision by the Raiders to take the penalty goal 2 points when they were on the attack early in the second half didn't really work out well for them...

Let's go back to my room
We can do it all night
And make things feel right

I'd like to give special mention to Simonsson. He's been improving as the season has unfolded and today he had his best game so far. I didn't think he would be as good as he's turning out to be.

I find it funny that Rapana got that penalty when OPA tackled him when he knocked our pass into the air.

If he caught the ball he should have been penalised as you can't knock the ball forward to gain an advantage which he would have done if he got it.

It was the wrong call. The bunker didn’t know the rule

Only if it's ruled to be intentionally knocked forward.

The bunker is Clueless

Well he intentionally hit it so I would say it was.

They took the two then when they shouldn’t and then chose to play on later when they needed to take the two.

The team was pretty good tonight, Raiders had a proper crack. I suppose we won it means that coach did an amazing job again.

Did Maverick leave a steaming pile in your afternoon tea? Just enjoy a win FFS

 

[Matty Bhoy]

Gutsy win. Dylan Brown and Mitch Moses were both once again superb, especially Brown. Matt I’d forced offload heaped a ton of pressure on us but our defence was outstanding when it mattered most. A very valuable two points.

 

[golfer]

I think Sivo comes straight back into the side after the break at the expense of Opa, with Waqa back into the centres (as much as I like him on the wing).

I don't know if you watched the reserves but the first try scored by Canberra was enough for me to say no way. Sivo was tatally out of position and his opposite strolled over. Also saw his comeback game last week and his efforts was very poor. I know he scored 2 tries in that game but any winger would have scored them.

 

[Avenger]

I hope our mate @The Predictor enjoyed the win. God bless you mate. I hope your week improves.

Trust me it gets better!

This is getting good. @TheRam boom boom boom.

Ricky said in the presser he would love to have 8-10 origin players.

Hey Ricky wouldn't every coach love that.
