Rd13: EELS v Cowboys GAME DAY THREAD @ Fortress Commbank 26/05/23

[Matty Bhoy]

That was a great effort considering we had every single one of our grand final forwards missing and the perceived weakness of our bench forwards. For our second stringers to dominate the Cowboys pack like that will hold us in good stead for the end of the season if we make it there.

Completely agree. Social media is focusing on who the Cows had missing… that was a huge two points for us, especially after Joffa dropped out.

Dylan could be the best player in the game. That try saver was spectacular. I feel we win a comp at some point on the back of him

so glad he’s an eel

 

[King-Gutho94]

Nice dig by Dylan on Ch 9 to/about getting better after Andrew Johns left us...

Roosters won a comp after Joey walked out mid year.

No team has won the comp when Joey has been attacking coach and he has had more gigs then Jimmy Smith

 

[Sensei Cobra]

Unfortunately The game has passed old man Hodgson by. He is just not physically up to it. I doubt that Hands can cope with 80 mins at this stage of his career. What does the coach do.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Sivo for his size is an absolute cat.

I agree swap ravalava from dragons and I reckon we improve 20% as a side.

He finishers the same as sivo but improves the yardage game from back half

 

[hindy111]

I just hope we sign him up asap. Him
Going balls deep for 30mins after Reg and Paulo makes us far more dangerous. I thought Morretti looked pretty decent in limited mins as well.

@hindy111 does it again!!

I seen him for 20 mins in nsw cup. Everyone else was blabbering on about Moimesea and Murchie being the next boom break out forwards. Next thing what do you know. Those two are in NSW CUP while we have our whole starting pack out amd Morretti is in first grade.

 

[hindy111]

Yes, Hodgson's tackles per minute in that first 31 minutes were very high. He really stepped up his intensity after Ofahengaue limped off. Arthur's always knows when to rest him.

You should of heard what Brandy had to say about him,

 

[Sensei Cobra]

Brandy speaking the truth about Hodgson. It’s really obvious now.

Hindy>>>>>>>>>>>>> 60's.

The officiating today was the worst I have seen for a long time.

Forward pass calls against us but 2 blantent ones from the cowboys.

Russel's no try going up as a no try instead of a try then the bunker reviewing it. No where did he have seperation.

Cowboys laying in the ruck and we got 2 set restarts.

Penalty on our line when Moretti put his hands on their f**kwits of a Halfback.

Gutho getting tackled without the ball penalty over turned by Klien.

The Cowboys last challenge Klien spent 5 minutes trying to over turn it.

 

[Sensei Cobra]

The new bloke did good

 

[hindy111]

Brandy speaking the obvious truth about Hodgson. It’s really obvious now.

Yeah. He said it in as nice a way he could. Words like just ineffective. And danced around can Hands play 80mims etc.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

That was a good win. Look others would say well they shouldve won by more, but Parra the whole forward pack out and I knew the Cowboys was going to be better tonight, I dont know what the heck happened against the Tigers. Parra needed to win, didnt matter if it was a 30 point or 2 point win, this will help them with the bye next week.

I thought some of the young forwards really stepped up tonight. Greig again was outstanding. Ogden, Doorey did well and a good first game from Moretti, he'll definitely be in the first again this year.

Parra's outside backs were great and combine well in attack and defense.

D Brown was brilliant and that try saver just before half time was great.

 

[hindy111]

Hindy>>>>>>>>>>>>> 60's.

I meant on here. 60s to be fair only gets to see them train and not play.

The Russell no try was correct
A few others went against us
I’ve not seen a ref just completely remove himself from the game like that and the cows just laid all over us

 

[Wally21]

Heard something interesting about this from my little birds.

Can you share fella?

It was the laying in the ruck that killed me. Ref was shit

 

[Wally21]

Oh good, I’m so relieved, you ARE just a troll.

Brother, Pou isn’t a troll. He has always been a glass half full supporter. Right back to the Hagan days. I don’t agree with a lot of what he says, but he has an opinion which he has a right to have and adds colour to this forum

Not sure on the Russell try he had no seperation you could see from one angle his middle finger never left.

Officials were crap and it was funny when they went up to the Bunker and Klien must have been in the shitter as the other bunker official had to start out for him

We just need to pick up the wins over the next few weeks. No ducks given about how good or bad the performance is.
Pick up the wins and with our staring pack to come back from injury
