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

[the phantom menace]

Just like Hands, Matt Arthur has shit games. The difference is Arthur is eligible for SG Ball, while Hands is 25 this year.

Why are you even talking about a Cup hooker in this match day thread.

Just enjoy the win like other Eels fans, you f**kwit .

 

[the phantom menace]

I remember some merkins whinging, when we had good depth and an ordinary top 17, that we needed to take risks and overload our 17, and forget about depth. I reckon they've been proven right.

Who do you think cares what you remember, troll boy?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well I agree with all of that. The thing is though, he has this game in him and he had quite a few very good games last year. Lussick just doesn’t. Hands is also young with plenty of room for improvement so it’s mind blowing that BA stuck with Lussick. You have a young smart hooker with plenty of promise vs a very average journeyman. There’s simply no justification for it.

I dunno, merkins are acting like this is Hands' first ever game. He has made seven appearances this year and his last win was in 17 minutes against Canterbury. He has struggled just as much without Moses.

To be fair it wasn’t him who brought up MA first but the person. He was responding to

Matt Arthur is the justification for Hands stalled development.

Everyone close enough to the team knows it but wasn't prepared to call it out.

It's nothing against MA as a player or individual he may well be the best 9 we have right now. And I hope he lives up to the hype and he kills it for us moving forward and becomes a 200+ game player.

But anyone who thinks BA wasn't clearing a path for his 2nd son are kidding themselves I have enough inside information to reinforce my point of view in the situation that brad definitely was subtle enough to ensure to not make it as obvious as it was with Jake clearinga path for his kid to FG.

The Matt Arthur show (TCT) really pushing hard for Boooooods. I call it the Booooods show.

Has anyone seen MArthur play? I heard is he was dead Slow with no running game. Is he any good?

There's no being fair around here mate. This is the place for deadshits to feel smart and connected through dogpiling merkins. It's very therapeutic.

I just jumped in my alternate time machine, and watched tonights game but with lussick playing 80 minutes at hooker.

We lost 48-12

We were winning 12-10 at halftime.

So, pou....go f**k yourself.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

For those wanting Gutho gone at end of next year can get stuffed.

It's obvious we are screwed without him lost our last 12 straight without him by an average of 20+ pts.

Seeing him live with his energy it's amazing the difference he makes with the ball but also without it.

Moses makes a mental difference just his presence out there controlling things.

I sense we get the dogs next Monday week we can go on a little run here.

Gee we just needed to win 3 games in the 9 Moses missed and i reckon we would be a smokey right now.

The Tigers and Dolphins games were missed opportunities.

We missed his leadership and inspiration. There was basically no one doing all the talking and directing traffic and you can see how fired up he was when Paulo scored, pumping the boys up and telling them to get stuck into the opposition.

How’d we go in round four without Hands?

 

[eels_fan]

How’d we go in round four without Hands?

I personally think any team would struggle without hands.

ball control is so important in today’s game

But how many of Hands' games this year have been as first choice 80min hooker, you argumentative selective stats failed clown!

Who gives a toss Pou.

Enjoy the win you troll.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Hands made such a difference to this side
Of course Noses amd Guth did as well but I'm still baffle dhow Hands hasn't been starting

He couldnt even get a run at 9 in the 2s.

Nice one Dad

He started at hooker against Canberra’s reserve grade side.

 

[Parra Pride]

It obviously hasn't been in doubt for a while, but Moses is by far and away our best player, and Gutho is definitely the second. I still remember when we originally signed him I thought it was stupid, he just seemed like a petulant idiot with the way he left the Tigers. Never imagined this is the player he'd turn into.

There’s simply no justification for it.

Even more when you find out he's been playing 6 in NSW Cup most of the year, he was treated horribly by the Nepotism gnome. Firstly stuck behind Gutho's bro in law. and then stuck behind Boooooooooooods in NSW Cup. But but but but but there was no nepotism at Parra none at all.

 

[hineyrulz]

Just like Hands, Matt Arthur has shit games. The difference is Arthur is eligible for SG Ball, while Hands is 25 this year.

MA is also eligible on the Bea Arthur mobile phone home plan, one got your path cleared for first grade and an I Phone 15 pro.

 

[Legal Eel]

Don’t go revising history after one win mate. Parra were favourites tonight. The difference was Moses and Gutherson, not Hands you clown.

So you didn’t watch the game as usual or you just don’t know which player hands is? Tip: he was wearing the 9

 

[King-Gutho94]

Great waking up on a Friday after a win.

Gives a real spring into your step for the weekend
