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

[yy_cheng]

Interestingly enough only 1 drop ball from a forward that i can remember

Lussick and his crash plays or passing wasnt timed well

In the dressing room after the match. Handsy looked really comfortable with the senior guys. I recall Jakey sat alone

Great waking up on a Friday after a win.

Gives a real spring into your step for the weekend

Me walking around foggy Brisbane town this morning.

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?

His name is booods, of course he's good

 

[hindy111]

Yes, I know I'm scared... Can you hold me?

Just check under the bed. The boogie man might be hiding

I’m just hoping Nico plays out of his skin in origin on Wednesday so Mitch doesn’t get picked for game 2

FYI we have a bye before each of the remaining Origin games, so he can't miss a game by being selected.

The backing up issue would be the only problem (Knights after Origin 2 and Storm after 3)

 

[hindy111]

Hands has had good games before. He is just inconsistent. He had the chance to ice the game against the Tigers and he f**ked it.

With less then 24 NRL games and most of the bench I'd blame in experience

 

[Pazza]

Interestingly that was the most points we scored all year.....against the top side...

It's like they reviewed attack or something

 

[hindy111]

I would assert Moses had more confidence in Hands' mobility out of acting half to go down the short side and put on that play for Simonssons try than if it was stumpy Lussick standing in the play the ball.... No difference my f**king arse....

Lussick would of stood there like a garden gnome then kicked it 20mtrs

 

[hindy111]

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

25 at end of December. He also had a lot of injuries before coming to Parra which stalled his development and the covid years

 

[oldmancraigy]

But it's a stupid rule...it's lost in the field of play. There is no logic here...and it became a 7 tackle set. It's fkn dumb and needs to be changed...notwithstanding it was a high tackle as well

It's maybe not a stupid rule?

If you drop the ball forwards, the ball is live until your team touches it again. If they infringe in that touch, that also counts (ie if they are offside it is a penalty).

Knock on is not an automatic scrum. Your team needs to recover the ball to force it to be "just a scrum" - otherwise play continues with a live ball (eg opposition can pick it up and run, or if it goes dead in goal it is a 20m restart or
.. etc)

He is very crafty and confident. Has a great kicking game short and long and passing is great. Also good out of dummy half. He runs well.
I'd say his weakness is he tend to overplay his hands with blind side raids to often and his size. Let's face it if he doesn't put on atleast 7-10 kgs he won't ever be physically big enough to handle NRL.

For someone who enjoys a drink your a f**kin ripped

 

[hindy111]

I'd say great win. But I don't see us making the 8. We have a tough draw.
And the Sharks scored to many easy try's. Our defense I felt was still fairly shit. Holes everywhere. At 34-22 when Sharks made a break if Trindal catches the ball it's a 6 point ball game with 4 to go.

 

[hineyrulz]

For someone who enjoys a drink your a f**kin ripped

I do my best.

 

[hineyrulz]

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

Boooooooooooooooods!!!!!!!

Hopefully he comes good. A fast 9 is crucial.

Lussick and Mahoney before him were just shit

 

[Bandwagon]

Trindal catches the ball it's a 6 point ball game with 4 to go.

If but maybe, if Simmonson grounds the ball we lead by another try.

Neither of these things happened, sides blow tries, what matters is the ones they don't.

Hair hat bayyyyyyyyyy-beeeeeeeeeee!!!!

If we go on a decent run to finish the season, we are going to be stuck with TBaz as head coach, right?
