Rd12: EELS v Rabbits GAME DAY THREAD @ Allianz Stadium 19/5/23

[Gronk]

You get fit playing NRL. As I said he needs game time and will get up to speed. You don't get that running rnd a paddock. You can see how much fitter he is now then 4 weeks ago.

Emu just said to Joey that the reason he’s fit and playing better long minutes is because Trent Elkin has been on his back about doing extras.

@King-Gutho94 must of been sweet to watch that win from the corporate area!
reminds me of a time when I was a guest of the sharks in 2001 and our Eels toweled them up, I thin 40-0. Me and my mate were walking around the sharks club singing” Parra’s gonna win the comp”. Pity we lost in the GF

How about those late tries because Souths took their foot off the pedal @hindy111!!! We are now the top tryscoring team in the competition: https://www.nrl.com/stats/teams/?competition=111&season=2023&stat=38

Paulo started off shit this game bit played his best game for a long time. Wow

He started playing after he was manhandled by Latrell

He does look fitter than he's ever been. He has the potential provide the greatest 20 minutes either side of half time in NRL history.

Do we now have the best attack in the comp?

Rubbish attack. Couldn’t even get to 40 against a Souths side that had clearly given up.

We need to ice the cowboys next week and then after the buy round

Just teams taking their foot off the pedal

In fairness Pou Bear, everyone has to play the same amount of games to make a proper comparison.

But, I'll give you our attack is the least of our worries.

 

[Pazza]

its amazing what a bit of kick pressure can do

Trent Barrett. Best attacking assistant coach in the comp.

Well I am surprised. Maybe the best win I've seen considering we lost two forwards during the game and playing the best side in comp.
Bryce I hope gets a contract. He is playing good footy. Realy hope we don't lose him cause of Murchie and Davey.

The biggest thing in this game was we played footy. We moved the ball the whole game. To often we have 4 or 5 sets in a row where we just bash it up amd waste sets. Tonight we attacked nearly every set.

Simmonson is actually playing good footy. He puts in 100%. I don't mind him tbh. He isnt special but ok.

Russel looks far better then Dunster. Probably needs another season in the gym and will be far improved.

Grieg is only going to get better. Early in the season he was gassed after 2 or 3 runs. Now he looks some what seasoned. He will only continue to improve as the year goes on.

That win saved our season. Huge game next week. Get that and its season back on.

It was Hopgood. His offloads prevented our one out stuff and gave us extra metres each set and Souths were defending on the backfoot.
Emu and Matto provided good punch

The 2nd half, it was Paulo''s and Emu's charges that gave us space. Ogfadihih (sp) wasnt too bad actually.

We started off reasonably well. Whereas in most games we have been on the backfoot and tired defending. Souths this game was on the backfoot and was doing the one out stuff.

I really wish we get rid of Hodgson. When Hands is on, things are smoother and crisper

Imagine how good we’d be if we actually had any X factor.

 

[jk13]

How good r those f**kin eels!!!!!!

Unfortunately Davey was injured early on

What the f**k was that and where the f**k was that?

 

[yy_cheng]

It was good seeing superman cruising up next to Matto.

 

[Gazzamatta]

f**king Junior. He has been so shit this year. Wake the f**k up you lazy merkin.

If there was any chance of him playing origin this year, that play right there should seal his fate. Unforgivable for a prop.

Actually that was probably the best thing that could have happened to Jnr. He was obviously embarassed. His game went up 5 levels after that strip. Finally started running direct and front on. Leg drive and footwork was back. Fu*ken finally.
