Rd24: 8pm EELS v Broncos GAME DAY THREAD @ Gabba 11/8/23

[JokerEel]

BA has probably 12 weeks next year to get our defence better atmost averaging 15 a game. That's the KPI

 

[Enamoured Eel]

And above all else, I love this club. F*ck the haters. When we rise above, it will feel like nothing before. Go the mighty Eels.

 

[Wally21]

At least our pre-season was slick

Best pre season ever. Said in Tim Mannah’s voice

 

[Tooooks]

Nah Billy Has Family in QLD and horses highly doubt he ever takes up a coaching job..

But if you don't want the free beer that's fine!

Yeah he’s got it pretty sweet. He’s got the Qld gig for as long as he wants it and would be very well set up financially from his playing days anyway.

Yep even at 42-0 I was still supporting this mob tonight ffa

We apparently attacked really well with our new structures against our reggies team who is coming where again?

Well let's pay him a f**k load to come in during the offseason and work with our players

 

[EelsFan05]

BA just said the effort was in the team tonight.... hmmmm.

 

[Eelctrifying]

Sign Jarryd Hayne after he gets out. Couldn't get much worse.

I paid harbor tunnel toll and m5 east to just to get home in time for this. I shouldve stayed out

"Broncos just completely overpowering them with speed and athleticism" - Ennis

How do they fit so much speed and athleticism under the cap I wonder. They've managed it in the past too.

This is your reasoning? They must be cheating?

pathetic deflection - even for a troll like you

 

[Bandwagon]

Moses' injury 5 minutes into the game just f**king sums up our year.

 

[Pazza]

Well, I have a lot to say, but by the same token, not much at all.

All the pressure and stressors with starting slow has caught up to us.

We won’t be in the finals. The thing that hurts the most about it is that I think we can go toe to toe and beat anyone with our best team on our day.

In regard to the Broncos; what can I say? They are absolutely electric across the park. Carrigan is an out-and-out leader I’d be happy to have for massive coin for ten years. My only concern with them is if they fall a couple of tries behind and try to play catch up.

the broncos just showed us what good juniour development looks like

we just dont bring through enough talented young players to contest

Yep now we won't make the finals tell him to take his family and go on a nice holiday back for next season

 

[Eelctrifying]

I think this season def exposed our depth. The next man up attitude shows we really have no men to step up. I blame many of our players (Matto, Drown, RCG) for f**king themselves over. I was elated by the GF entrance, but how do you paper over this? Next year is the focus now but what do we have if this happens again?

At least Jakey can join

We do have some in Flegg issue is the step up from Flegg to cup leads them to stagnating in NSW Cup..

On a brighter note I thought Asi went OK in the centers, didn't set the world on fire, made his tackles held the ball. Kept Staggs relatively quiet considering how much ball they had.

I'd set it at 8 games.

I actually agree problem is next week he will be in the halves and Simmonson on the wing with Sivo...

Next year Asi needs to be our other centre
