Rd2: 530pm Eels v Sharks GAME DAY THREAD @ Shark Park 19/3/22

[Poupou Escobar]

Why play a half on the bench and then make 16 players do all the work?

Ask the 2020 grand final winning coach. The three interchange players shared 104 minutes. The one with the most was Nrown, with 41. It's not too many.

Why do we look so terrible in attack?

Cronulla's defence was excellent. Why did we look so good in attack in the first half last week? Because the Titans' defence was poor.

Lol. Carty warmed up with the team, was in the playing strip. Daddy just picked his son over him. You’re taking the piss surely.

No he’s not, he’s really not.

 

[The Predictor]

W

50-50 calls. You win some you lose some.

We lose most !!!

 

[The Predictor]

My condolences to the mid 30’s out there who haven’t never seen a GF win, pray your children, will

 

[hineyrulz]

Pou should be our defensive coach, FFS O’NEILL!!!

Waqa broke 9 tackles. Simmonson none

We missed 50 tackles.
Sharks played footy. We just played force men's back.

Mahoneys pass to Moses also never on. We could of controlled it down their end. Dumb group of players.

We've lacked intensity for two weeks now. Fifty missed tackles today and 33 last week. We only missed 35 against the premiers in last year's semi-final ffs.

 

[the phantom menace]

What injury did Cartwright have?

An imaginary one, so Poupou can defend coach for selecting his son on bench again (despite remaining unused).

 

[Poupou Escobar]

At least Nicho will be bald in 3 years.

And will probably still have those f**king teeth too

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Plan B is to back the Tigers tomorrow.

And be grateful for the sheer horror that invokes.

We will avenge your loss.

Waqa was good. You fix 1 problem here, cause another 1 over there.

 

[DaveMc]

How shall I f**k off oh lord?

Grab your cock and treat it like how you said Gutherson has treated the ball the last fortnight

 

[hineyrulz]

Not sure why people are shocked, same head coach, same attack coach and same defence coach and we expect different results??? Time and time again they have shown they aren’t up too it But but but Stability!!!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You can’t have Stone on in crunch time. Preferably not any time.

Except for that brain fart it's the mobile, high effort players we needed on at the end. Stone is one of these. Shit penalty, but he was good otherwise.

He has brain farts in crunch time too often. That's why he can't be on in crunch time.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We might’ve scored a try in the second half.

Or lost

 

[Eelectrica]

Penalty goals won us last week's game and nearly won this week. It's part of building pressure against a motivated defence. We lost the Panthers final on a penalty goal.

Nope. Treat penalty goals like field goals. You don't kick a field goal in the 60th minute after raiding the line set after set.

 

[hindy111]

I think what we will see once everyone's fit is simple.

Russel and Sivo will end up on the wing

Lane and Marata 2nd row

Matterson lock

Bench

Brown
Papali


The last two spots are up for grabs. Grieg, Rodwell might come into contention if can have big games tomorrow along with Bryce. Rein also.

I won't be suprised come end of season if all are fit there is 6 guys in tonight's side pushed out of the team.

 

[eel01s]

FFS Stone! What a bone headed play.

Honestly we didn't deserve to win, our edge defence was terrible and our go forward non existent. Yet we almost grinder it out for a win.

I tuned in at kickoff so was unaware that Jake was on the bench instead of Carty. I kept wondering when BA was going to put him on. Could not believe when I read it here .

BA has some explaining to do!
