Heart hopes for an Eels win against the odds, but sadly my head thinks Warriors 14+

Yeah so hard without Gutho. We really need the Warriors to shit the bed.

 

[eel01s]

Play to our strengths. Right up the middle. Don't give Johnson any time.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

He can't run without a head.

 

[eels_fan]

Their forwards conceded less metres in the middle of the field than any team. So we need to find a happy medium with setting a platform and spreading the ball.

hopefully the slosh fest they played in last week had their big boys with some tiring legs late in each half and we can take advantage

 

[eels_fan]

Let’s make sure the first time that Johnson’s new baby looks at him, he’s looking at a loser…

I am going to be watching the game on my phone and in the car.

No internet where I am staying and mobile coverage is so weak that hotspotting my laptop doesn't get Kayo to even let me login.

Car has a heater at least.

It’s amazing that we find ourselves being outsiders as last years Grand Finalists against a team that got done six ways to Sunday including a 70-10 reaming by the Storm in season 2022( even allowing for our SOO commitments). The Warriors have come a long way in that time.

Too hard to pick this one. 6 weeks ago I would have thought we would get flogged. But now, I’m not sure…
Just hope it’s a great game

I just got through the Serbian border. I am hoping the mobile service in the serbian countryside en route to Belgrade is strong enough to hold up to stream on the watch NRL app.

Well the Warriors always get a leg up during origin. So it doesn’t matter if they are playing a weakened Storm or Brisbane, they have a distinct advantage.

Funny how they got a bye before an origin game when they didn’t need it and we didn’t get one. Nice one NRL.

 

[lingard]

If we can win this game, I have no doubt we can win the premiership this year.

 

[TheParraboy]

Not too bad a crowd in for 530 and a non Sydney opposition

I can see my corporate box from the Manly game , ahh the memories

 

[Incorrect]

Looking forward to this game. Agree with @Twizzle - big test of our depth but I reckon they’ll stand up.

Eels by 8.

Was certain you were going to predict a draw after golden point for some reason....

 

[Bandwagon]

Fire Up Merkins!

It's Game Day!

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

I'm very excited

 

[Tooooks]

I can’t see this going well.

 

[Wally21]

Missing Gutho talking to the defence already

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

Nah... we're going cop a hammering on our F/A
