Rd25 2024: 8pm Eels v Broncos GAME DAY THREAD @ Suncorp Aug 23rd

[TheCrowe]

Brown does the same step a few metres before the line. It works once every 6 games which is enough to encourage him to keep doing the same thing.
Blaize has already switched off. His manager should get a massive bonus for the snow job he pulled on Penrith.

I rate talagi,

Stopped reading after I read this. You must see football in a completely different way to me mate

 

[JokerEel]

He was outplayed by a Q Cup player, he was a better player at 18.

Another player who has been Bea Arthured.

It's not coaching ffs

Unless it is coaching ffs

The kid has talent but he's as bad as i've seen defensively.

 

[Zoso]

We have half a team of reserve graders covering injuries, a back up half, a rookie in the centres, a makeshift dummy half, a back up goalkicker, and we lost by a try to the broncos at home, despite 3x as many missed tackles.
I’m going with 1/3 bad luck,
1/3 bad R&R, and 1/3 coaching.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

f**k off out of the game day thread troll, unless it's about the game.

Cheers but I was replying to a poster who wondered why Penrith was buying Talagi when they have Laurie. Maybe you just need to mind your own business.

 

[Avenger]

Disappointing, couple of errors really hurt us.

But they all tried hard. Effort was there! Sometimes when you are losing it's hard to get back into winning.

I rate talagi, obviously needs to work on his defence. But couple of things from last week and tonight, makes me think he is physically "cooked" for the year. Happens with rookies. Might need a break.

Think our attack may be struggling a bit without a "ball player" in the middle. Looked a bit better when Hands went there.

Offa, RCG, Drown, Gutho, Russell, kelma, Peni, hands, were our better players.

Blaize has a shit attitude. You can tell with his lack of urgency when players get around him or he misses a tackle. Continually stuck in the mud. The kid is a sook.

I don't get why they had Tago on the Bench you just don't hook Blaize

Because TB is out of here in 3 weeks

Yep he hasn't improved his game in years Brown needs to get better or POQ

He wants to keep Talagi happy for when Cleary loses a grand final and gets rissoled for Barrett.

 

[The Predictor]

Tr

I agree. I love the guy. But he's the only one of our players that anyone would want.

Fair enough, and that describes this club to a T

 

[Happy MEel]

Brown is just a fullback who defends in the line.

A poor one at that. He’s a $600k first grader costing us $900+k. If we’re serious and taking the same strategy as RCG, we should be pissing Drown off by playing him in the centres until his PO comes up and let him be someone else’s problem.

Well a 3 times premiership winning coaching of the greatest nrl side of the last 30 years rates him highly and agrees with me.... .....and I suspect Cleary has more footy knowledge than you could ever dream off......

Cheers but I was replying to a poster who wondered why Penrith was buying Talagi when they have Laurie. Maybe you just need to mind your own business.

Or maybe you need to stop chasing the possible collisions in every thread in the forum, at least for 90mins a week when the games are actually on?

I'm not the only one calling you out for incessant trolling tonight. (And there's a lot more laughing at you for just being plain stupid.)

 

[oldmancraigy]

If Blaize is picked again Barrett can get f**ked.

To be fair - Barrett is gone anyway, sooo

 

[Happy MEel]

Brown has been found out this year. Another Eels players that doesn't have the mental will power to be great.

Not just this year. He has never shown that he can lead an attack with any kind of consistency. He has ridden Moses’ coat tails. I genuinely think that he and Paulo are our largest cap problems.

 

[Noise]

Blaize has a shit attitude. You can tell with his lack of urgency when players get around him or he misses a tackle. Continually stuck in the mud. The kid is a sook.

Yep he just sooks and jogs back. Some of his tackle ‘attempts’ are borderline cowardly

 

[oldmancraigy]

Russell also had a decent game tonight along with Hands who always turns up

And Penisini bounced back and looked ok

 

[Happy MEel]

The kid has talent but he's as bad as i've seen defensively.

There are about 1000 kids that have talent in touch footy. Unfortunately there’s a defensive component to rugby league.

Don’t disagree with you mate. I wouldn’t have 1% of Ivan’s footy knowledge or smarts. I’m just saying, I’ve watched the kid all year and I just don’t see it. But I am probably wrong. His defence is f**king tragic however
