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

[eels4life87]

You think we’d have been better if Sivo was not injured?

I don’t think it comes down to the player that was picked. I think it comes down to the fact that it was literally a last minute change

 

[Suitman]

The selection of ASI was to blame for the loss.

Absolute rubbish.
We had plenty of opportunities to nail that game today.

 

[Gronk]

I can't blame Asi who was asked to play out of position and marking the beat centre in the game

Yeah I can.

 

[Delboy]

if Barrett was auditioning for the coaches position, don’t think he passed.

 

[Gronk]

Best for me was Blaize in his first game on the wing, and Kelma for the second week in a row, his best game(s) for Parra. Special mention Joffa who has a task and just goes out there and does it.

Yes, great games all three.

Don’t tell me

 

[Chipmunk]

I don't think he's ever been considered a serious contender. You've got to give the temporary guy an obligatory interview.

That was the difference, we were down there so many times and came away with zip.

This will be controversial, but Sivo running over that winger with the head gear from 15m out in the corner all day.

That's not controversial.
Anyway, we are f**ked this season.
If we can't beat a shite Bulldogs today, we ain't winning anything, let alone making the 8.
We're toast.
Cheika.

The team as a whole had already done enough to win that game. The selection of ASI is what cost us. It was on the Paul Carige levels of shit. That how bad his defence was, but I blame the coach for picking him. It pains me to say this but the shit Harper would have done a better job defensively.

He stuffed it.

When you enter the season with only 6 backline players in a light top 27, then stands to reason injuries in that area will stuff you. Couple that with the fact that no move was made to understand that speed was a growing factor. The bone headedness to not make any serious moves in season just confirms how out of touch the R&R team was.

To illustrate the point, even TCT pointed out before the season that the roster was unbalanced and short, and most would suggest they are just cheerleaders.Terrible and basically inept . Asi is a reserve 6 at best, how many times did they score down that edge. How short would the team have been if Talagi hadnt matured so quickly.

Harper seemed to be signed with one foot on the plane to SuperLeague, how depressing.

Russel is a solid NSW cup player. He isn't an NRL level.

Every Bulldog try was down ASI’s side. I blame Barrett more so for picking him. ASI even at 6 is a poor defender. What does Baz go an do? Picks him in a crucial defensive position.

We lost that game solely on ASI being chosen. It’s the not kids fault but Barrett’s. he should have known. As soon as he was named I knew we were done.

Moses had a bad second half and typically Brown missing again. But we still Should have won.

 

[Gazzamatta]

.Cant understand why Cini didnt get chance. Hes a hell of a lot faster than Asi and his involvement had been outstanding.

 

[eel01s]

So Sivo just got injured too late to get someone from outside the 19?

 

[JokerEel]

Russel is a solid NSW cup player. He isn't an NRL level.

He is a decent backup.

Asi Russell Hands Lussick Blaize all decent backups but should not be playing more than 5-10 games a season and should not be playing together In first grade ffs.

I can see Lomax playing centre next year..

Must have been injured in that 24,hour time when you have to trim your squad..

 

[Incorrect]

but while the season is gone, reckon we will be pretty competitive for the rest of the year. Get some nice wins, some close loses, occasionally bad loss, but generally competitive!

Sounds f**king awesome!!

Can I buy some season tickets??!!

Russell was outpaced as well..

A few times we made a break down that side but had no speed to take advantage of it.

Agree we should have won
