Rd14: Parra v Tigers GAME DAY THREAD @ BankWest Stadium 13/6/21

[Poupou Escobar]

I hope Penisini gets a chance. Could be a great week of grubby puns.

Second roe?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Rheed will miss next week. But then there is a week off for everyone. Followed by the Panthers and then we have a Bye.
I read 3-6 weeks out. So he has missed one. Next week is two against Dogs and then a bye would be 3.
He might be back vs Pennies but if not I'd imagine he will be against the Titans. Missing 3 games in total rather then 5.

Arthur's said Mahoney wants to play against Penrith but he (Arthur's) thinks the Titans game would be better because it gives him an extra two weeks recovery.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

BA said in the presser that Reed wants to play vs Panthers but given we have the bye after that he wants to play it safe
I don’t think we’ll see Reed until the GC game.

ffs

 

[Poupou Escobar]

BA in press conference said Mahoney wants to be back for panthers game but he probably won’t be back until after the bye (basically he will make him sit out until then)

FFS!

 

[hineyrulz]

I have heard from my sources that Rheedy wants to play the Penrith game, but from the sounds of it BA wants him to come back after the bye against the Titans.

doube, triple or quadruple or nothing period!!!

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Rankin is behind Arthur in the pecking order. Unless we desperately need a GK, he stays in reggies and captains the kindergarten.

I think they both need a promotion. I can see a creative combo in Arthur, Rankin, Junior.

Dogs game might be a bit of a challenge if we're missing Rheed, Sivo, Nrown, and Papali'i.

Moses is also on report.
Also.
I watched the replay last night and I notice Matto appeared to reel out of a tackle with a head knock. He played on for a considerable time however he was subbed early. Maybe nothing but for what it's worth.

Rheed who? Lussick was fantastic. About f'n time. Another piece of the Parra Puzzel finally solved.

Serb of the week!

Moses will be fine.

N.Brown may get a week.
Papa and Sivo will be out. I feel Blake Fergo won't lose much coming in for Sivo.
W.Smith also will slot onto bench for Papa. Which is fine. Our bench forwards played very low minutes. So Bryce and Kafusi will take up some mins.


N.Brown and Matterson out will be an issue. I'd rather we not had them against a side we expect to lose too. 4 big names will.make it tough.

Back from the game / pub / sleep

Thought we were never in trouble at any stage of the match

Our forwards power game set the platform, particularly out of our own end

Lussick was great filling in for Reed, hope it continues while Reed is out

Waqa looked lethal most times he ran the ball, causes havoc and stuffed up their defensive line for the next play

DBrown did some dirty work once again in defence and improving a lot in attack. 21 tackles and 1 miss.

Other than bombing 2-3 tries and a handful of unforced errors. Not sure what else we could have done in this game. Could have won by a lot more but still pretty comprehensive nonetheless. Tigers were rudderless and lacked punch, Got a reality check against a top 6 side that cant win the comp apparantly

What a great weekend. Watched our Eels defeat out confirmed bitches over a couple of beers at the Orient Hotel at the Rocks. Had such a nice night only to wake up to the Djoker winning another grand slam.

Some points:

* Dylan Brown was the hero for me. I thought he had a great game.
* Ferguson was the problem in defence and Blake has stepped up since the boning of his mate.
* Someone like the Dogs will snap up Lussick. I thought he was very good.
* Opačić is the best value player in the comp.
* Gutherson is already in my all time greatest Eels team. He is our new Ray Price and will go close to winning the Dally M.
* Moses is the best halfback we have had since Tim Smith.
* Never underestimate what RCG brings to our side.
* I’d take the punt and buy Aaron Woods but only if we opt not to re-sign Stone or someone like Cartwright.
* I’m buying another watch

Yeah forgot Moses, TBH I don't remember the incident, so I assume it was pretty innocuous.

Hopefully.

Obviously Dunster has opacic/Drown helping. But he did pretty good today. Doesn’t rush out of the line very often and forces the opposition to make a decision first. And a couple of times a player got outside him, he had the speed to cover (or Drown / Opacic covered)

it appears Dunster decision making gives Opacic / Drown time to come across and “help out”. Where as Fergo just rushed out giving no one a chance.

Dunster just needs to work on his attack / more runs / more metres. Only made 66 m / 6 runs , but a decent average of 10 m a run.

I reckon once he gets used to the speed and physicality of first grade he'll be making more runs. The more experienced backs have stepped up the past 2 weeks

* Dylan Brown was the hero for me. I thought he had a great game.
* Ferguson was the problem in defence and Blake has stepped up since the boning of his mate.

Whilst I agree, I'd also say these two points aren't mutually exclusive. Drown is clearly very important to our overall defensive structure on the right, and Waqa swapping with Opocic has no doubt strengthened our right side defence further.

I've never really rated Dunster, but I've been very happy with him. He's played really well. I'm happy he proved me wrong.

It’s strengthened it because Tomislav is right up there as one of the best defensive centres in the game.

People need to stop arguing. NOVAK is the greatest ever. Won atleast 2 of every avaikable slam.
