Rd20: 615pm EELS v Titans GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank Stadium 16/7/23

[yy_cheng]

The last replay they showed it was definitely a try.

The replay on the telly wasn't that clear.

To me it was simultaneous but I'm glad we got it and great effort by gutho

 

[Noise]

What do we reckon the cutoff for the 8 will be? 32?

 

[Jake the snake]

And some want Simonsson off the shit list.

Some call him Superman

One of those games where we just needed to get the win, we were poor but it doesn’t matter.
The sin bins were legit but some of the decisions leading up to that were terrible. Got them back in the contest.
Hopefully we can string together a few wins before Dyl comes back, then anything’s possible. There was a stretch of the season where he was our best player and his defence is top tier.
Few others have mentioned it, but when we signed Moses he would miss more tackles than he made. Credit to him and the coaching staff, massive turnaround. The way he contained Fifita tonight (and in our earlier game against the titans) plus in origin was unreal

I think Moses handled fafita real well in soo and did the same to him tonight. He now has conviction he can do stuff. To say the coaching staff wanted him gone when they gave Norman and Moses the opportunity to look elsewhere a few years back.

If i was the tits, i would've put fatfita on the right edge and terrorised asi instead

Just listened to the pressers, the Tits coach whinged his way through the whole thing. Unlucky, no calls went our way, the charge down was offfside, Tino is a clean skin etc etc. He added that the 10 minutes in the bin goes too quickly, fmd.

Their first try came off a 2 metre forward pass in line with where I sit, the touchie ignored it as they usually do , Tits used the Riff style of tackling, holding the player in the air, pushing them back and delaying the play the ball with one arm in the air.

With Atkins in the bunker anyone expecting a call or two in favour of then Eels would have been disappointed. Expect both Reg and Sivo to miss games as they will be likely to support the officials given the crowds response. A typical up you from the MRC to the club.

Happy to get that win tonight. Any time you play with 11, for even the shortest time, a win is epic.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Why take the two sin bins into the equation? If we're ill-disciplined enough to warrant players being punted to the bin then that's on us. No excuses......

I am not both were sin bins.

Just responding to a question how the Titans had our measure when really when it was 13 on 13 we outscored them easily.

 

[Bandwagon]

Yeah, 13 wins, if by a miracle either Knights or Manly make it they could do on 12 wins + the draw.

Tbh i don't mind him at centre. He's the only one in the 3 quarters that have genuine peace ala guths kick to him before the field goal.

We have alot of money tied up in our props and spine so need some not so expensive players to fill in and deliver more than they are worth

 

[The EELiminator]

the ref was blowing the whistle so hard in the first half i'm surprised he didn't have a collapsed lung

 

[JokerEel]

I’m at the game.
I didn’t see too many penalties there that weren’t warranted.
From either team.

Just playing dumb football.

I am not talking about penalties more about non calls for us when he gives the Tits calls missing knock on a or calling our knock ons when they weren't.

Letting players run behind their own player and get an advantage.

Moses taken out after passing it and kicking

Hopgood.held off the ball

It's shit like that that frustrates the players and fans

 

[Jake the snake]

Just got back game from the game:

Positives
- the 2 points
-Bryce Cartwright
-Moses game Management

Negatives
-Discipline
-The ref, whilst the sun bins were warranted, he definitely kept the Tits in the game with his one sided decisions. Poor performance.
- Don’t know why BA didn’t play Moretti we were
Out on our feet. Poor coaching.

It was more than 10 mins that they had an advantage. They didn't get sent at the same time. Tits were shit against 11 men.. They should've scored back to back to back tries...

Just shit stirring, he’s been ok. But not good enough to get off the shit list. When he’s aggressive he plays better. I reckon he’s come off a little in the last few games. BA will have to rev him up again.

Yeah Bryce was really good. I can't believe how hard he went even against that guy off the back fence

Swings and roundabouts. At the end of the day we were lucky to win tonight. We consistently have a habit of making things hard on ourselves and I don’t see that changing in the foreseeable future.

Careful, Poupou will start challenging you to prove that claim, chasing you around with irrelevant tables too...

Oh wait... he seems to only do that to me, wanting to be shown up!

The field goal was a good play. I think it was at the 5 min remaining mark as most are kicked later.

There were time Moses should've kicked on the 5th instead of passing especially one to williame

I listened to that too on way home..

He mentioned an obstruction as well he must have missed the 2 his players did and gained an advantage..

I like how the touch judge on the far side was inline with a forward pass from the kick off but just stared blindly at the ref when he looked at him for advice..

He’s one crazy peanut that bloke. I think he maybe Egyptian, trying to make out what he’s waffling on about is like trying to read Hieroglyphics. He’s warped!
