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

[King-Gutho94]

Huh? 200+ run meters and 30 tackles.

Matto's issue has never been on the field.

It's been getting him on it.

The other 2nd rower is a different story atm. Does he want play Rugby league.

 

[TheCrowe]

I had big hopes for Russell this year but he continues to disappoint.
He definitely is not a centre, has no idea.
Season is so over. Time for Cini to get a run FFS.
At least he will put in and we need some effort in the team.
The plod factor is just doing my head in.
The dropped balls in attack are just destroying us.

 

[Gazzamatta]

I haven't been impressed but he may put in more effort than some of our other forwards..

His numbers are great for a big bloke.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Given the way his old man departed and allegedly thinks the club is shit, how heavily do we invest in MA? If his old man gets a gig elsewhere I reckon he'll get him off our books quick smart and over to wherever.....

Perth with Brad.

@Poupou Escobar have you started the granny flat extensions yet.

Hard to argue really. His form has dropped off completely and that moment from the Souths drop out sums up his form.

Both centres have been ordinary lately. Geez Penisini has been shocking

 

[King-Gutho94]

Just looked at the presser, how on earth is Barrett going to provide any impetus to the team. Such a downbeat expression and responses, it does need a reset at coach level and someone to light up the recruitment and retention area, preferably not someone who’s a life member of a rival club.

Buckets hid away from the crowd tonight.

Normally he shows his face every home game was MIA tonight.

 

[eels4life87]

Lane should be finished at our club tbh. He’s disinterested.

Who can blame him. He already got his documentary /s

 

[PARRA_FAN]

The positive tonight and there arent many, but a big wrap for the new kids Tago and Guymer. Charlie was great on a beaten side, I love seeing forwards have a dig and go in hard and seeing him make good yards and make good tackles shows you he should be in the team

I can only assume that perhaps he’s got other stuff happening off the field because he was completely disinterested. Put it this way, he made 11 more tackles than MA in 32 more mins on the field.

We're already full of know-it-alls and closed to new entrants thanks.

Interesting comments in the presser above three tries we let in where we just stopped and walked instead of working "under the ball" - for the Walker try before half time, it was captain Gutherson himself and Bryce that stopped working and left the huge gap after the offload for Walker to stroll through and score.

 

[the phantom menace]

Gutho also went walkabout following a dummy and left Arthur exposed for Wighton's try after Moses' sin bin...

Haven't spotted the third try they might have been talking about. Possibly the very first try off a scrum, where Gutherson packed at lock but couldn't get there quick enough to lay a hand on Walker to pressure the pass setting up the play for the try out wide?

I'm sure I'll fit right in.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Hi Brad.

Too sideways ffs

 

[Poupou Escobar]

At the ground seems like they are trying too hard

Trying too hard in attack maybe. They should be saving that energy for defence. When the ball moves away from you it's not time to have a breather. You need to push across in cover. #ChaseTheCollision
