Rd14 2024: Eels v Bulldogs GAME DAY THREAD @ Accor Stadium June 10th

[JokerEel]

Did we get the Sharks on a bad day ? Are we really that good ?

I note that Riccio and a few more journos reckon that the dogs are specials.

Are caught up in our own hype ?

Sharks completed at 100% against us they were not bad..

They were worse on Saturday night against the Broncos who were missing both Reynolds and Walsh.

Doggies have been playing confidently lately that's due to them having very good defence.

As at 11.30 am today, the pax was around 46500, so expect a crowd of between 45-50000 for today's game.

Thats a lot of Bulldogs fans coming out of the woodwork.

Stadium looks fast today on the Television!

At least Drew Hutchinson isn't playing first grade today!

f**k me nothing like a good old fashioned death ride from Bart

I don't think he is deathriding Blaize mate. I think he is deathriding Blaize's manager who definitely hasn't got the defence to contain Crichton.

The Parramatta Eels have finalised their squad to face the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in the annual King's Birthday clash at Accor Stadium on Monday.

Maika Sivo has been ruled out of the match with a mild hamstring strain. Daejarn Asi joins the team in his place.

Makahesi Makatoa has dropped out of the 17, with Joey Lussick coming onto the bench.

ASI into wing…. Had he played there before?
Will it be Russell Penis together and then ASI Talagi together? Oh dear!

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Looks like Asi is playing centre and Talagi is on the wing

Eels website has Blaize to wing and Asi to centre.

Curious to see how this is going to go with no Maika

Asi and blaize, Dylan's gonna have a huge day in cover defence

I reckon Dylan will defend 2 or 3 in and Asi will defend in the traditional 5/8 spot.

Ahhhh that makes a bit more sense. Hopefully Talagi does well I think it’s his best spot next year.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

If the club sees Blaize’s future at fullback then I think playing wing while Gutho’s still here gives him most similar experience outside of play making obviously. At the very least he’ll bring some energy with his yardage game instead of that slug Sivo. Assuming he can catch the ball that is…

Was that Paul Roos in the parra sheds who RCG just went up too and shook his hand.

I hope so. He's a successful coach. Something we haven't seen for a while.
