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

[the phantom menace]

Also, Moses and Gutherson weren’t playing. But somehow the win last night had nothing to do with their return, it was about Arthur and Lussick. And you’re accusing others of clutching at straws?

You didn't actually watch the game, right? None of your comments in the thread have had anything specifically to do with aspects of the game.

I think loads of people are onto your modus operandi now, and very few swallow your bullshit anymore. The Eels are winning again, time for your hiatus?

 

[Avenger]

I love that he pretends to ignore shit written about him. You read everything don’t you @Poupou Escobar. That’s what keeps bringing you back.

PS

Go f**k yourself, you twisted little peanut.

 

[Gronk]

lol. Speechless. Everyone else can see that Hands is a decent hooker and immensely superior to Lussick (and always has been).

You're not speechless at all, cos your still gibbering about the same thing.

Your adjectives "decent" and "immensely" are very subjective.

There seems to be this stupid link with the old coach and you lot fighting tooth and nail, somehow so that proves you were right about how the coach had NFI. So much so that one person even tried to suggest that if Hands didn't play last night, we wouldn't have won. Excessively dramatic methinks.

But no, you’re right and everyone else is wrong.

I never said that, you're putting words in my mouth. What I said today was that Lussick was right to be hooked and Hands isn't as good as this game day thread is circle jerking about.

Can we at least agree that Hands is better looking than Lussick?

 

[TheRam]

He was shooting out those Mahoney like passes all night. Possibly the second smartest guy in the team after Moses.
What was really impressive was his defence around the ruck. He cut off so many potential breaks through the middle with diving legs tackles. Lussick can not do that.
Hands is effectively still a rookie and if he can hold up physically the team will reap the benefits of his superior all round skills and fitness.

He is also the 2nd or 3rd fittest at the club behind Gutho and Dylan.

 

[JokerEel]

Is this still going on?

Lussick is the 6th best hooker at the club behind Smith and the NFL kid from Ball.

There is no debate.

 

[Eelementary]

TBH i thought he was average again.

That try was a sensational run. But other than that, average.

The Sharks bench was all over us when the benches came on.

He seemed to run with more aggression to me, and put away his instinct to pass first.


Obviously, nowhere near his best, but an improvement, imo.

 

[Eelementary]

thought he was average with the exception of his try. still looks to pass first

Improved performance, imo.

He's the greatest hooker named Joey Lussick I've ever seen, and it's not even close.

The WA gimp will counter that statistic soon.

The poor guy is so delusional he thinks he can educate others about league.

Possibly better to learn something first?



(We all have lots to learn!)

 

[oldmancraigy]

Let's be fair, it's now 1 in a row!!

 

[oldmancraigy]

He was shooting out those Mahoney like passes all night.

Was it him who passed it for Moses' FG attempt that hit the crossbeam?

That was a sweet long pass

 

[Gazzamatta]

He's the greatest hooker named Joey Lussick I've ever seen, and it's not even close.

Hes not even the best hooker in his family.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

But it was allowed to continue with no rectification, that hints at lack of leadership not just on field

I’d say the best leaders are paid accordingly. How many of those can a normal club fit under the cap?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well we were $20 to make the 8 yesterday on sportsbet.

Were down to $13 today.

One win and all of sudden our odds have dropped $7 off 1 win.

The difference between last week and this week isn’t the coach. Must be the dummy half.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Hands is 6 wins 3 losses when the starting number 9.

Lussick is 9 wins 13 losses.

Settles the debate there and then that we play better under Hands then we do with Lussick.

And we win 100% of the time with Morgan Harper on the wing.

 

[84 Baby]

I’d say the best leaders are paid accordingly. How many of those can a normal club fit under the cap?

Agreed but we’re clearly paying certain players at leader levels who just aren’t providing a commensurate level of leadership.

 

[eels_fan]

if we beat the roosters in 2 weeks i'll be excited.

Last night was fun, and fun wasnt' something i have associated with the eels in a while, but i'm not blinded by that game to think that our horrendous defense, lack of energy and effort, and poor discipline has been fixed by a Moses miracle.

I've still seen nothing to show the roosters wont put 40 on us in 2 weeks.

The dogs next week wont be easy beats either.

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

It was nice seeing some attacking structures inside the opposition twenty. That nice try with quick service from Hands, to Moses, to Brown, who straightened the attack, to Gutho, for Sivo try. I nearly slid off my seat.

I had movement....
