Rd21: 735pm EELS v Cowboys GAME DAY THREAD @ Country Bank Stadium 22/7/23

[Jake the snake]

Our peanut coach is turning into a programmer with his “system errors” what a joker

 

[JokerEel]

f**k that ginane made me f**king sick tonight. He’s a full flog

Mate first run from Drinkwater he tells here we go..

I'm like wtf here we go where he took a hitup

 

[Incorrect]

Can someone ask hindy111's dad what he thinks

I'll check.

It'll be more realistic than any Rouse Hill Rhino sycophant take on events I'm sure

 

[eels_fan]

Nothing wrong with Matto’s tackle at all. Both his legs were on the ground before he lent in the players legs. Not a hip drop at all.

NRL physio said dislocated elbow earliest return about 6 weeks providing no fracture. If there is then that’s season

Waqa probably cops a week but doubt he’d have got another run anyway. You could see how pissed BA and Barrett were when he didn’t try to run at the try line

 

[Noise]

It looked like he came down next to him but like you said been worse and nothing in it so I suspect 3 weeks with our luck...

He definitely landed on his legs

 

[the phantom menace]

24-16 loss to the form team of the comp with every player available, against a side missing 5 of their top 17, in humid conditions with a difficult referee in charge.

Mind you, the Foxtel crew agree with all you pea hearts, Sounded like the Cowgirls won by 50 and they sympathise with the owboys coach.that they did it tough. Never change Foxtel , thought it couldn’t be worse than having Alexander and Voss, it we got them tonight.

So all that aside, do you think we'll make the top eight Delboy - or not...?

I'm going to say no.

 

[JokerEel]

Should have ninja kicked him in the kneecaps!

 

[Delboy]

A bit (or a lot tbh) disingenuous there mate... 4 tries to 3 yeah ... But up to the 69th minute it was 4 tries to 1 and the game was dead...

So we stop counting any scores if you are down by a few tries or there’s 60 odd minutes gone. Believe it or not, games have been won scoring in the last 10/15 minutes. Give some credit to the team down on players, in difficult conditions and keeping going despite having to defend for long periods.

Glad you didn’t coach any of my teams , we would have just stopped and couldn’t be bothered, strange take but the narrative is to criticise anything and everything about the players, club, coach it seems.

 

[Gazzamatta]

The only players who I would feed tonight would be Cartwright and Penisini

And Hands. He tackled everything.

 

[eel01s]

Mal and Cronk defending Holmes hit on Moses. Said he shouldn't been penalised because no HIA for Moses. F**k did they not see the Sivo tackle and suspension from last week? If there is contact to the head it's all over.

On Atkins, FMD. Can find a penalty for the opposition, but hey all good when it's done to us.

Just before half time, he ruled knock on straight away instead of letting Russell cross and having the bunker check. I still don't think Gutho knocked on.

 

[Delboy]

So all that aside, do you think we'll make the top eight Delboy - or not...?

I'm going to say no.

As long as the team tries every week and we remain competitive, that’s important. You may not have noticed we are down 5 of the top 17 and still in games. Believe it or not, the season has been OK, enjoyed the good wins and although disappointed when we lose, apart from the Warriors game the side has competed.

He is looking very tired however Gaz. I hope the news on Lussick is good to help him out

Did no one watch the Warriors/Raiders game? Tries in the 78th and 79th minute to take the match into golden point. The game goes for 80 minutes. As frustrating as I found it to watch, the guys kept trying til the end.

 

[Bandwagon]

I still don't think Gutho knocked on.

Offloaded back but straight into the defender, that's gonna be called a knock on live every time, bunker call it's a lottery.

I didn't feel we did tonight.

I have noticed. I don't think we were in this one, and most teams have a a few injury or suspension worries come this time of year.

So, all that aside, do you think we'll make the top eight Delboy - or not...? I'm going to say no - and unfortunately that's a failed season.

Last week JoJo didn't go off for an HIA either.
Maybe someone needs to mention it to those clowns.

What about the Hopgood penalty for holding down He was under the fish of a cowboy player not holding him at all.

Or the penalty on Moses when Hass I think lost it in the tackle the ref decided he was g
Holding down

Then we had all the 6 against at the start of the second half to the cowboys but when we were coming out of trouble nothing at all....

Yeah he should have played on Gutho tried to offload back hit a Cowboy and came back forward.

Whatever, most posts you seem to make are critical and taking a pot shot at the club and team. I’ve been following the club for a long time and even though it will be difficult given the draw we have had, I live in hope.

This site was much more Enjoyable quite a few years ago, but it’s followed the direction of social media in general, finding fault, negative and keen to target individuals at the club. Like a lot of older and in the past regular posters I tend to take time away but then I come back as I love the club. Some have just decided to not bother.

 

[the phantom menace]

So again no straight answer re us making the finals on current form?

That's ok... and there is something (positive) to be said for hope. But there is just as much (positive) to be said for honest assessment as well.

If we miss the finals it won’t be because of the draw. It’s because we lost too many games at the start of the season and left ourselves with too much work to do.

 

[Chipmunk]

This is just one of those seasons and has had that feeling since Matterson kept the $4k in his pocket.

We'll have heaps more issues happen to us over the next 6 weeks, we're no chance of making the Top 8.
