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

Have they locked Morreti up yet?

He was very solid in limited game time. Bless your eyes

I hope bas plan

I hope everyone’s plan was to lodge their BAS yesterday

Our backs were very good in yardage, probably our best performance all year in that regard, also Dylbro shored up our middle defence there early in the set on numerous occasions when our forwards were a little slow getting into the line. 37 tackles, 3 missed 3 ineffective is a big effort from a half, and with a good chunk of them in the middle that's exceptional.

thought are backs were very very good. Gutho had a couple of mistakes, Superman should have cleaned up that shit kick from Hodgson. Sivo a couple of lazy efforts throughout the game. But they ran with aggression and all made well over 100 metres. Even Russell looked like a first grader last night.

the bye is coming at a crucial time for us.

 

[84 Baby]

I don’t he has improved much at all, he was ok against South’s and average against Canberra but other wise bar round one he’s been awful. Last night he was a penalty magnet put in a shit 4th tackle kick and his service is still poor. If we had other options he’d of been taken out the back and shot by now.

Overall Hands is performing better but his service is worse.

 

[IFR33K]

That’s a joke. What’s O’Neil and BA doing? If our joker coach hadn’t played favourites with his son for so long maybe they would have had an opportunity off the bench last year to show what they can do. Instead we discover now that they more than capable off handling first grade. Problem is other clubs would have noticed and most likely making offers.

Apparently he puts the club before his family.

Russell looks to be improving game after game, which is what you'd want coming back from injury, at this point he's a genuine first grade quality winger, needs to add a dive from further out to his game, that dropped ball no try is a try every time with a winger that has that in his repertoire.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Letting in those couple of tries at the end was disappointing but I thought it was a good effort considering how depleted our forward pack was.

Cowboys are in all sorts. I wonder how long before questions are asked about SuperCoach Payten?

The way Greig runs sometimes reminds me of an early Willy Mason.

Is it the hair?

@hineyrulz I hope you are three sheets to the wind and balls deep after that win!

Egyptian 1000 thread.

I can see why Doorey hasn’t been in first grade consistently. He is great with the ball in hand but I haven’t seen a forward look like their feet are stuck in the mud so bad like Doorey when the opposition makes a like break.

He needs to get fitter, if he can do what Emu has done he would be a very decent forward.

 

[strider]

Have they locked Morreti up yet?

Why? What did he do?

I bloody hope BA keeps Penisini and Russell together they have been really good.

He mentioned last night that Blake was back from injury soon which is a concern...

 

[JokerEel]

BTW Sivo could have stopped both of those tries last night if he was interested in putting his shoulder into Felts ribs. As soon as he catches the ball he should have been smashed.

good to see Gutho ripping into him, after one of the tries was scored. Does that make him a bully?

Super Simmonson was also good last night if he does stay at centre he needs to communicate with Sivo better on defence..

He actually should have run straighter and harder while bracing himself and he would have scored. He ran to exposed and dived to soon and was easy fodder for the ball to be knocked out.
