Rd17: EELS v Dolphins GAME DAY THREAD @ Sunshine Coast Stadium 24/6/23

[King-Gutho94]

Not surprisingly we haven't got many calls this half.

But we haven't earned them either

 

[Noise]

f**k me 7 tackle set

 

[Sensei Cobra]

Moses with another shocker

 

[Noise]

Moses is having the worst half of his year

 

[Suitman]

It’s official… I’m a jinxing b@stard.

That's correct.
I've only ever been to one game with you and we lost.
A GF at that!

 

[Jake the snake]

Simmonson has a problem passing

 

[Sensei Cobra]

Stop the stupid f**king kicks FFS

 

[Noise]

Saying to your team to be ruthless is just encouraging dumb footy.

 

[T-Boon]

what is everyone whinging about its still a great win

 

[the phantom menace]

Might not even break the 50, after all that first half dominance.

Bunch of uncos can't even score 25% of what they scored in the first 40mins.

 

[Noise]

what is everyone whinging about its still a great win

A great win requires an 80 minute performance IMO

 

[Tooooks]

Atrocious. FMD.

 

[Oscarman]

Touchie finds a forward pass today. Naturally.

 

[Chipmunk]

The second half was a combination of us having already well and truly won the game, not wanting to really put the effort in to starting again to earn the right to score tries, and the Dolphins showing their fans something after their poor first half.

Full credit to the Dolphins for at least having a crack in the second half, but we really slackened off in that second half. All of the Dolphins tries were just from us not puting in the effort in defence as a team for a few very short moments.

Although it would've been good to crack 50 at least, at the end of the day, we probably get a whole lot more out of that second half performance going forward than if we'd gone on with it and won by 50 plus. The coaching staff should be filthy and let the players know it.

There isn't enough superlatives to adequately describe that first half though. Damage was well and truly done then.

 

[JokerEel]

Great first half shit second but still a huge win and f**k you Wayne.

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

Only at the eels can you feel deflated after winning 48-20....

 

[King-Gutho94]

Touchie finds a forward pass today. Naturally.

Tipsheet of the round after wednesday's night debacle

 

[Noise]

The only message from half time should have been to continue to complete your sets and make your tackles. Talk of being ruthless is f**king dumb and sends the message that this will continue to be a piece of piss and we will try to score every play.

A great win requires an 80 minute performance IMO

I thought we put an 80 minute effort into the first 40 then we were into the bi week in the second half.
