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

[Gary Gutful]

Sounds more like a BOB sesh. So i've been told from @Gary Gutful

Here's some footage I took.

 

[lingard]

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

I'd like to see him at fullback.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Btw has anyone noticed that we haven't lost when Vossy has called the match on fox league this season. 7 wins from 7 games.

 

[eel01s]

It was our game to lose. Thankfully our defence tightened right up in the second half.

We are in a world of hurt if Moses goes down. His long clearing kicks make up for the lack of yards made from our hit ups.

Dylan was excellent. Could not believe his turn of speed after hobbling around.

 

[Twizzle]

scrappy game but a gutsy win

 

[Gary Gutful]

Our metre eaters are on a diet.

 

[TheParraboy]

I dont know about anyone else, but I was pretty happy we got the win...

 

[IFR33K]

Very happy with the win.

Not sure anyone has mentioned Nrown negatively the past two weeks. Him coming off the bench has worked for us. When he comes on he hasn’t overplayed his hand, nor has he stifled our attack. Cant recall anyone calling him the human hand brake. No wonder Drown was potent yesterday. Good to see Ba attempting something different and we look better for it.

It all coincides with getting Marata back who was missing for 8 (?) rounds.

I think someone posted last week in the team list thread that BA can only now pick the 1-17 he wants and that suits the style he wants us playing.

Nrown and Matto off the bench is part of that as it allows continuous momemtum when Barlow and Freddy Mercury go off.

 

[Gronk]

So if Reg, Jrr and Matto survive SOO squad selections by game 3 (13 July, 2022) we will have to play without them vs Tigers and then play the Warriors on the Friday night after the Wednesday game.

We then play Broncos at Home the following Thursday 21st July.

So effectively they shouldn't play against warriors otherwise will have to play 3 games in 8 days.

I don't think BA will take the risk.

Will depend on how much game time they get in origin

Hopefully NO injuries.

But we can bring in 3 of Sivo,Bryce,Greig, Rodwell. Our spine will be unchanged.
I'd start with Bryce and move Marata to the middle. With Lane and Bryce most likely playing the full game.

Papa,Brown,Marata would need to play long minutes in the middle. Makatoa and Kafusi will do what they do. Greig or Rodwell get some game time.

FFS!

 

[eels_fan]

RCG may be right to backup, I doubt he’ll play more then 30-35 off the bench.
Matto may too, depends how Freddy uses him. I can see him shifting to an edge and playing similar to for us so he may play big minutes, or very little

 

[The Predictor]

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

Trust me it gets better!

Thanks mate….I did, special win, very nice sentiment, appreciate it!!!

I thought the Emu was kinda average vs canberra in reggies. Blowing harder than a 5 dollar hooker ... rodwell should get another crack

Didn't watch it so I will take your word. Rodwell does seem to have a big motor

Whoever posted that is a pretty smart guy. I wonder who it was?
