Rd14: Eels v Bulldogs GAME DAY THREAD @ Accor Stadium 13/6/22

I am putting that game and that performance down to lack of on-field leadership from the opening whistle by our forward leaders in Junior and RCG. They should have put their effen heads down and forced us into our power game with straight hard runs and no early off-load attempts. Forced the Dogs into the grind and we control the game. Instead we thought we'd be lazy and once we were down 4-0 we went into catch-up mode courtesy of Mahoney making some really dumb decisions. Although (as most of you know) I know him, I would happily drive him to Belmore in time for tomorrow's TLT announcement.

RCG (-1 pt)
Junior (-2 pts)
Rheed (-3 pts)

Oh and although everyone on here spills their wad over Papali'l and how much better he is than Nrown (you know, the one you all call the Plodder), Nrown at least give us some defensive line speed and we aren't sitting back waiting for them to come to us, which has been the case since Nrown was shifted to the bench.

Next week:
Drop Mahoney and bring in Rein.
Drop Lane to the bench (or reserve grade).
Papalii back to the edge.
Nrown to start at 13.
Hire Shane Flanagan as coach.

I reckon 3 of those 5 things are definitely not happening.

Fancy not motivating the team that you coach against your rivals. It’s not first time that BA has Failed to get his players up for a game. Usually we choke in the finals now we are doing it in the regular season. He’s a choker.

Not sure if you watched reserve grade but the bit of saw of Rein he was horrid. He went down the blind side on the second tackle and threw the ball into row 2. Then we had the opposition stretched he tries to barge over from dummy half and gets held up and we lose all our momentum. Reed was shit today but Rein isn't the answer.

So the coach is not accountable? Thought RCG played well. Paulo I agree was off but he’s been off for a while now.

I didn’t watch reserve grade but Mahoney has been shit for most of the year. I don’t particularly like Rein but if Mahoney isn’t going to be held accountable for shit performances we are going to get more of the same until he leaves for the Dogs.

Our line speed has been poor all year, even when Brown was starting in the 13. Our marker defence is almost non existent and we are burnt on the edges constantly. But yeah it's just a player issue lol.
