Rd15: EELS v Bulldogs GAME DAY THREAD @ Accor Stadium 12/6/23

[Eelogical]

Why do we so often get stuck with Blocker on Fox broadcasts?
Both him and Warren Smith are cheering the Bulldogs in their commentary.
It's bleedin' obvious.

Blocker should give it away and take up pie reviews.

 

[T-Boon]

Moses should have put that ball down. Brett Kenny would have.

 

[Eelogical]

Soooo….we’re really missing Hodgson out there.

Who?

 

[emjaycee]

…and that’s the difference between a quality hooker and a pensioner. We were dynamic that whole half

One forward pass from DH and a couple of others that could have been called i reckon.

Apart from a bit of a stutter with the Oloapu try, this has been a classy and dominant display over what really is a lesser side. Moses on fire, the combo with Gutho is sensational, Asi is doing OK on Eels debut.

We're also just such a better team with Hands on right from the start, and Hodgson nowhere near the paddock. Looks like we've got loads of interchanges up our sleeves for the back end of the game when people get tired too.

 

[Soto]

I would say a pretty decent backup half as well has helped

Correct..previous couldn't bust the line

 

[T-Boon]

Man I like this Asi kid. Legit worthy talent.

Further to that, I'm listening to MMM and it is so much better than Fox.
Maroon and James Graham are not only funny but not biased like the Fox commentary. James Graham has every reason to be biased towards the Bulldogs but he just isn't. A true professional. Like Sterlo.
Fox could do worse than getting him on board to replace dumb arse Roach.

I have a lot of respect for James Graham, both as a player, and a person.

A true gentleman, who played the game hard, and fair (except for the Billy Slater incident).

And he's a very professional commentator.

Love how Blocker talked up Pengi JR and he has been dog shit so far

 

[Avenger]

Burton is just an A grade f**kwit symptomatic of the scum club

Yep. I can’t cop him.

 

[Soto]

Agree. Some borderline but not too dissimilar to the other 16 hookers in 1st grade who also push the envelope

 

[Eelogical]

You would swear that was Dylan brown then

Who?

 

[Mickyd39]

Burton is a myth.

 

[Jake the snake]

Man I like this Asi kid. Legit worthy talent.

He was behind Jake Arthur, can you believe that ?

 

[Eelementary]

Man I like this Asi kid. Legit worthy talent.

Needs to work on his defence but yeah - he's a talent.

Shame he's going elsewhere neat year - especially of the worst case scenario comes to fruition with Brown...

Looks hodgo will be our 7 on sat I'd say

Dodgy penalty, but you're right.

 

[Happy MEel]

One forward pass from DH and a couple of others that could have been called i reckon.

…and yet the points differential between Hodgson on the field vs Hands increases.

This isn’t even up for debate.

Billy had it coming with all the cheap shots he did in his career.

Not that I condoned it

 

[Wally21]

OK, gonna say it, I don’t give a f**k what other fans think, Gutho and Moses are two of the best players in the comp and they are f**kING MIGHTY EELS!!!
