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

[Avenger]

This ref is destroying this game and wants to be the star of the show. Absolute f**kwit.

 

[T-Boon]

Why isn't it a differential

I'd say they got rid of those.

 

[the phantom menace]

53% possession, but only a 68% completion rate (compared to Titans on 75%).

 

[Eelogical]

The Titans are simply a very shit football team.

We should be too good for them in the second half.

Not an ideal situation in parts of that first half, but if we can't win this game from here, we'll struggle against better opponents.

I'm prepared to say we can pack it up for the year if we don't get the win here.

Our stupidity and indiscretions are to blame. Let's face it, our players simply don't listen to BA.

 

[Noise]

Listening on radio as in the car, commentators saying RCG knee drop will carry a reckless charge and he’ll be gone for a minimum 4 weeks

Yep. Deliberate and forceful knees to the back

 

[yy_cheng]

I'd say they got rid of those.

Cos the ref's complained it gave them rotator cuff injuries?

 

[EelsFan05]

What happened to differential penalties?

 

[T.S Quint]

Well this game has gone to shit.
Such poor discipline and awful decision making.

We can still win this but need to play smarter.

 

[Happy MEel]

Yep. Deliberate and forceful knees to the back

It was careless and hardly forceful. He’ll get a week

 

[Delboy]

The difference in this gane
Blatant 2 metre fwd pass in front of the stand where the touchie imitated Kasey Badger and ran with the play.
Atkins is the bunker ref, as if there was any doubt which was any decisions would go

 

[the phantom menace]

Joffa yet to be used, Moretti yet to be used....

If we're serious this season we should be fresh(er) going into the second half, and finish over the top of this mob.

Anything less and we've slipped out of the 8 amongst heavy traffic, and will be scrambling to make it back in.

 

[JokerEel]

Anyone who thinks we are doing shit must not be at the game..

The refs are ruining this game

 

[eels_fan]

Sounds like if we get our discipline in order we’ll win which is all that matters at this stage.

You’d be hoping if there is any even questionable offences by the titans in the second half that the bin is used if we’ve copped 2

 

[Incorrect]

Exactly - I thought that is what happened??

Seriously? The rule was changed ages ago...

FFS keep up.

It's embarrassing how many people sign up to talk rugby league yet have no idea about the game or make an effort to stay informed.

3-4

 

[TheParraboy]

What the f…k is this HT shit entertainment ?? We really are amateur at this in such a beautiful stadium

Biring back the kids playing footy or the cheer girls . Even a local band playing
Have some substance rather than just drivel

 

[Eelogical]

The Sivo tackle:

Definitely high.
BUT
Watch the end of the Panthers Dolphins game. With 3-4 minutes to go there is a high tackle on Aitken that is almost identical.
No penalty
No sin-bin

I don't mind Sivo getting binned AS LONG as there is consistency.



RC. Definitely a bin. That was dumb.

To be fair, Sivo has some form and it's got nothing to do with fast play the balls or solo kick chases on the last.

 

[JokerEel]

We have been fine Butler is so bad at his job he basically got the Titans back into it

 

[Snoochies]

Titans needed 2 of our players off the field to make it even.
We're beating ourselves, not the Tits. Chase the collision, earn the right to go around them and we'll win. It's the BA playbook but he's not wrong. Keep it simple.

 

[Noise]

Sivo 2-3 weeks. RCG 3-4 weeks.
