Rd18: Parra v Penrith GAME DAY thread (11/9/20)

[Happy MEel]

Attack poor!! But no field position!!

bloody happy with the defence, absolutely amazing effort. We really put in tonight !!

Just keep on defending like that and we wouId be good in the finals.

So you’re hoping for a nil all draw. We can’t score points

 

[Suitman]

Well we have 50% of our spine missing.

We’ve benn tackled 6 times in Penrith’s 20 all match.

Possession is nearly 70%.

Your point is?

 

[TheParraboy]

Niukore in for Evans.

Takairangi in for Blake.

Dunster in for Sivo.


But it will never happen.

Agree

Id seriously look at George Jennings for Sivo

 

[Joely01]

Not too sure why so called “experts” On fox, and then on here are being so critical of the attack tonight.
We played a very tough brand of footy tonight, it wasn’t flash but with 2 of the spine out it never was going to be!
With the amount of D we had to do I’m amazed how the players went until the 80th minute.

after tonight I’m more confident of doing well in finals then I was before the game, that’s D was outstanding, the way the boys kept turning up for each other deserves credit!

 

[Gazzamatta]

Brave but obvious issues that must be corrected for us to progress.
Sivo. Fu*k him off. Lazy.
Waqa is no center. Hopeless defensively. Move him to Sivos wing.
Evans. Send him to Worriers on loan NOW. Fn useless.
Taka into the centers.
Positives:
W Smith didnt kick and was pretty good in D. His passing was better than Stone.
Field lacks some condition but his D has improved out of sight.
Niukore, Mahoney and Drown would have made a difference.
Our condition, by and large was great.
Attitude much better tonight.

Anasta is deadset an idiot. f**k me why pay him for this shit !!

we have 2 spine players out and panthers were almost perfect !! U f**kwit!!

Alexander u are an idiot too!!

I admire your optimism, mate - but we are in big trouble.

This team cannot score points.

What’s the excuse for the last 2 months?

This peanut of a coach needs to make changes.If he rolls the same side bar Mahoney returning he is clueless.....

Sivo has to go and Taka needs to be added. Atleast he brings attack. He goes to centre. Blake to wing.
I like the idea of W.Smith at 6 also. Jai Field offers nothing at all.
Also might be worth recalling Alvaro for Evans

 

[Eelementary]

Why do we keep using our missing 9, and 6, as an excuse?

They've been playing with us for 2 months, and for 2 months, our attack has been anaemic.

 

[IFR33K]

Can’t wait for BA’s presser:

“I thought there was plenty of effort, plenty of desire....blah blah blah”.

just f**k off.

Proud of the defensive attitude tonight from the guys though. Plenty of teams would’ve conceded 40+ on the end of that weight of possession.

You forgot, “it’s an easy fix”

 

[Dibs]

So you are proud of the defensive attitude ... aka effort and desire .... lol

Pmsl. Unbelievable isn’t it. I had to read it twice just to make sure I was reading it right

 

[hindy111]

What’s the excuse for the last 2 months?

Gronk you idiot.... We had no possession cause they controlled the game forcing drop outs etc.... We couldn't even make it pass the halfway. Forget a line break or try

 

[TheParraboy]

To be honest dont really care about this game

HOWEVER from now on, we need to build our attack v Drongo and tigers
and be ready for the finals

 

[IFR33K]

Because eels fans love an excuse.

 

[Tooooks]

So you are proud of the defensive attitude ... aka effort and desire .... lol

Yeah, and? Having good defensive effort should be a bare minimum standard every f**king week. Be happy with that and gloss over our non-existent attack.

How about our under 8s attacking structure? How about our passenger of a halfback?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

This team is cooked - they're done in 2020.

And with no new recruits for 2021 to speak of, I don’t see how we can improve.

no chance, great effort. That effort gets us into a GF qualifier

 

[Angry_eel]

that eels defence wins games , we are going to surprise in the finals

How? Are you going to win 2-0 or 6-2? We've all seen this before. Scrape through week 1 and knocked out week 2

 

[hindy111]

People have short memories about Sivo. He’s badly out of form but he was doing this just last season

Before coaches had time to watch him and learn how to handle him .

 

[lucablight]

It’s weird how with Brad Arthur it’s always good attack/crap defence or good defence/crap attack. Why can’t we have a season where we get both right?
