Rd16: Eels v Rabbits GAME DAY THREAD @ Accor Stadium 2/7/22

[hindy111]

We were kind of f**ked at that point because we made no metres. Kicking it a bit shorter might have worked but it also could have given them an even bigger leg up in attack.

Guth put in 2 terrible kicks. If executed well its 2 x line drop outs.
Moses had a poor grubber kick and Mahoneys poor 40/20 attempt. 4 poorly executed kicks along with an average general kicking game.
Souths had us pinned 5mtrs out most the game stating the set.


Talent we have. But a weak mentality. Soft bellies.

Guthersons form this seasons been horrible. Mahoneys not a whole lot better. If there was anyone decent coming thru both these guys would be in NSW cup they've been that bad. Safe to say they won't be dropped as not anyone capable to replace them.

I don't see us winning anything with Moses running the side. He just isn't clutch.

On a positive Rodwell went ok.

what is the deal with brad why does he continually underuse the bench?

Because they have no faith in those players on the bench, so they over play the main forwards.

I'm lost with Brown not playing, it doesn't make sense.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Because they have no faith on those players on the bench, do they over play the main forwards.

He asks for extension. Eels say not part of plans. His from down. He is put on bench.

Few weeks later dropped. If I joined the dots I'd say N. Browns attitude has been shit since told not part of future.

For mine, it's depth. But, he could just be stubborn or ignorant. Paulo looked f**ked by the time he came off for his HIA and should have never came back on. Out bench stinks, in other words.

 

[The Predictor]

I have no doubt we will lose more players and attract none because of this amateur, the board’s decision has backfired massively, pride will get in the way of sacking him

 

[Gary Gutful]

He won't last after this season.

It's about time the club did the same to him...go...just go

 

[84 Baby]

17 players tonight? Did Tom O take the field?

He did. He threw in a missed tackle so he didn’t feel left out of the team

 

[hindy111]

It's time to go for Ciraldo now. We need to strike before another club lands him.

It's a dumb decision to over play the forwards. Any goose would know that over the course of the season they are going to end up battered and worn out.

I wouldn’t be fussed if we landed flanno.

Ciraldo has resigned with Penrith with a clause he can leave before pre season begins.

So I am assuming there is a club that is going to offer him a job if they don't make the finals or go out in the first/second week.

Same listening to him tonight he picked out alot of things we didn't do or should do.

 

[Happy MEel]

Souths showed that you still have to play football in shit conditions, but f**k we made it easy for them with such terrible right edge defence.

It was all good (at least in the first half) according to BA.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I wouldn’t be fussed if we landed flanno.

Is Flanno your preference at this point?

 

[Gary Gutful]

Couldn't bring myself to watch the press conference.

 

[Happy MEel]

He won't last after this season.

That’s an outstanding avatar. My only concern is that he seems to have quite a large face.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Thank God Reed Mahoney is leaving,that dude is terrible

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

The important thing is I've got plenty of alcohol.
