Rd18 2024: Eels v Rabbits GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank Stadium July 4th

[eel01s]

Baz is a shit coach. Lane has been walking back on side, hands on hips, since 7 minutes in. Plays the whole 40. We have Doorey on the bench, but choose to play Lane at lock. He can't wrap up the ball, so allows two offloads that lead to tries.

Seriously, other than Moses and Brown, would anyone care if all the others pissed off?

 

[Wally21]

They need to swap Russell and Tago around..

100% Joker. He has already shown he reads defence better in just 40 mins.

 

[Delboy]

Just like to remind every that Guymer isn't signed for next year ......

Every club will now see him tonight and offer him a contract.

Was told that he extended till 26 .

That is mind blowing. He has been our best middle prospect in a long time and not only do we not have him signed long term, we parade him in first grade.

Disagree on Moses Hindy. It’s hard to soar like an eagle when you are surrounded by turkeys

In the wet you can't give away 7 tackle set which he did twice that half plus a hospital pass to Pensini In the wet with 3 defenders in his face on 2nd or 3rd tackle in red zone.
Yes I'm being harsh but if we want him to be elite he has to eliminate these things.

 

[Soto]

I haven’t hated a player more than Lane in a f**king long time. He is a f**king lame, soft,
Insipid shell.

Lois Lane...longest pillow I've ever seen

 

[Wally21]

Hope you’re right Del. He looks a good one

 

[JokerEel]

That's great he SHOULD be the captain after Moses retires

 

[hineyrulz]

I’ve seen Garry Harley move faster WTG!!

Dude I just spat my Kraken out you merkin.

 

[84 Baby]

this team needs better coaching

It’s not even coaching. I’ve barely played football but I know if the opposition winger breaks down the line, jogging slowly behind him is a useless position

I thought Will should have caught the pass. The 7 tackle sets were inch plays that could have gone either way. He’s the least of our problems

 

[Eelogical]

So many deadshits in this team.

And people were critical of Talagi?? Seriously???

Lane is a coward and doesn’t deserve to pull the jersey on again. And Russell is dreadful, another shithouse Rhino junior.

It's obvious that they don't have the desire or capability. They've lost the 'belief' in themselves. Losing has become a way of life.

 

[the phantom menace]

Penisini is playing like he wants to be fired from his contract. He's not alone - Matterson, Lane, Paulo all regularly underperforming from what we know they can produce.

Reg and Gutho underperforming because they are likely cooked or in decline. I've given Russell benefit of the doubt due to bad injuries but he's had 18 months and hasn't reached the potential for regular first grade in 2025.

Credit to Blaize - and don't blame him if he doesn't want to re-sign with this basket case club. Liking Tago and Guymer on debut so far, well done young guys - but have we signed them up?

Ofa's stint was good, Brown doing ok, but not $1m ok. Moses having a good go, but must have the shits at the weak defence and dumb errors across the park.

 

[T-Boon]

I think everything has been said.

For a team to play a grandfinal and then almost certainly win the spoon 18 months later is diabolical.

I feel sorry for Moses. We are going to waste an elite player's best years.

I don't feel sorry for Mitch. Its up to him, if he wants he can look around - go to the roosters or something,

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Haha sorry mate you’re gonna need all you can for the second half!

 

[ALX25]

Hope you’re right Del. He looks a good one

Having a good dig.

 

[Eelogical]

We'll get done by 40 here.

 

[Eelogical]

Doctors assessing Junior at El Jannah's.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

We’ve already missed over 30 tackles

 

[the phantom menace]

Oh god, for a sec I though Reg dropped that over the line...
