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

[strider]

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

Quality 80s music lol

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.

Agree. He was terrible last week but prior to that had been building nicely. People seem to love Blake on the wing. I think he is a liability under the high ball amd teams will target him.
Happy to keep the same side but not against Sivo back either. He gives us power.

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.

I thought fair call. The worse calls where not called. Their hooker threw atleadt 5 forward passes.

I'm gonna push, push it, push it some more..

Ala la la la loomp

I think that's what the forwards pack sings when they push in the scrums

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

Mushroom tea.....

Best thing today was our defense in the 2nd half.

Sivo will have to earn his spot, not just walk back into the side.

Bailey is going the gutho route.

Crap in first game with dropped balls and getting dominated

Then worked hard and hard to get things right.

Well done lad

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

Hey Ricky wouldn't every coach love that.

Freddy does ... and then he picks a few old has beens aswell

Hey Ricky wouldn't every coach love that.

Not sure of the context as I haven't watched it, but surely saying stuff like that is not good for team morale... Blokes are sitting in the dressing room hearing that and thinking, "coach doesn't think we're good enough to challenge and would trade half of us for Origin players if he could"....

It's part of your job to make them better players Ricky!!! Maybe not Origin players but better all the same....

WATCH: Matty Johns decides not to torture Dylan Brown any longer in freezing interview

That Canberra weather is no joke! The single digits got to the Eels' play maker after the game but didn't phase him during it…

I havent seen it either, but if he is back with that, I dont know why .... he did actually build a decent squad.

Wighton, tapine, papali, hodgeson, whitehead, clockstand, rapana ...all origin or 1st class international players

Think he must have run out of lines and is recycling

 

[Angry_eel]

If we don't win this game I'm shaving my nuts.

Thank the lord we won

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

C'mon, it's not like he joined a club and had a good win and then said there'd be plenty more floggings.

Context was about whether they'd find it hard next week v Roosters without the Raiders' two presumed Origin players.

So he was wishing he had 8-10 Origin players he’d be without next week?
