Rd13 2024: 750pm Eels v Sharks GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank Stadium May 30th

[Noise]

Are you saying Hands was the difference tonight? Lussick was just fine when Moses and Gutherson were in the team.

Lussick has never been fine. His 35% winning percentage in first grade and 46% winning percentage in reserve grade back this up.

 

[Gherkin]

Carty has been a bit slow getting back to his best since returning from injury but he did some good stuff tonight. His combo with Moses is great.
We need to sort out our middle rotation. Hopgood obviously comes back in, might be worthwhile bringing in Guymer. Try and transition to a more lightweight and faster pack

Lussick wouldn’t even get half of Brendan hands 55 tackles from tonight

Credit where it's due, they completed at 89%, didn't make their first error till like 15 to go.

Not real often a good side will lose with that kinda completion.

Yes agree. We looked the superior

TBaz reckons Talagi could play anywhere.. or not all lol

Very happy with his decision not to use the kid this week. It wasn't the game for an experiment, and talk aside he was likely only on the bench for emergency backline injury cover (with two players returning after long rehabs).

 

[King-Gutho94]

Good game. We had it won a few times but some sloppy defense. Could of actauly done it a lot easier and put 50 on them. At 16-4 when Jnr dropped the ball on the 1st that could of opened the flood gates.
We certainly have changed our style under Baz and playing more expansive footy. We attacked nearly every set tonight and not just 5 hit ups and bomb. Hands is a good hooker. He was immense tonight.
Guth was very safe and did a lot of work. Moses was very good. Only a few poor plays.
Bryce also had a great game as did Pensini.

Good win.

Cronulla are pretenders they won't win the comp

 

[JokerEel]

Damn that was a good win..

Imagine calling to move Lane to the middle Kelma to second row earlier and Hands to hooker instead of Lussick.....

 

[JokerEel]

Does Blaize go play in Flegg this weekend now to get game time?

 

[the phantom menace]

Please never let Lussick play again. He wasn’t missed. Makes me laugh even more at the comment I got last week calling me a “spiteful prick” on here for not wanting Lussick to play first grade for the eels ever again

Agree with you - but think you're confusing "on here" with on Eels instagram, based on one of your earlier comments in the thread.

Best is to tell this f**king troll to f**k himself. At least he can’t argue with that. Don’t give him anything but just a big f**k off.

@Poupou Escobar go f**k yourself.

Our pack stood up tonight, only one of their forwards topped 100 run meters, most of ours did. Only Emu and Lane didn't, both passed 90, with limited minutes.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Dylbags standing in front of Danica makes me nervous

 

[Sensei Cobra]

I’m guessing Blaze will be moving on, that we were able to win one without him

Is that your prediction, predictor ?

 

[hindy111]

He was a huge factor.. Close to MOM
55 tackles amd 45 run meters. Lussick passes are slow, His darts are slow, he rarely makes more then 35 tackles. Hands brings the forwards onto the ball much better, fires the ball more accurately and can pass it twice as far
He reads the blind side play much better. He is also only 24
Had a lot of injuries coming through and played about 25 odd games in NRL. Half of those off the bench. He will continue to improve. Just like JMK.

 

[Bandwagon]

Yeah, I think we dominated most of the game. Not often we see that when the other side offers up f**k all in errors.

 

[Avenger]

Their backs do the heavy lifting and still exposed our slow edges. The difference was our hooker, Moses and the King.

He can kick on the 3rd tackle but.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

lol that sly merkin Gould pumping our tyres up coming up against his Bulldogs next..

Wow, you're seriously doubling down on your dumb, instead of going into hiding like you really should...

You’re right. I was posting on eels instagram, texting into abc grandstand and posting on here and got lost where I was
