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

[Poupou Escobar]

You can thank the knobs at the TCT. f**king amateurs

They're not responsible for his defence or him getting picked in first grade or signed by the Panthers.

 

[Chipmunk]

Looks like it was our half to get the bounce of the ball and the 50/50 calls.

Nice enough half for 30 minutes, not sure where the Broncos heads were for the start of the game, their urgency and lack of intensity was way off, but it's back to an even enough contest now.

Pathetic effort from Talagi lead to the Broncos first try and that changed the momentum completely. Very slow runner and a useless defender. He'll be in the UK Super League within 5 years.

 

[TheParraboy]

Full time Parra 16-12

Good win

Bring on the Dragons..

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Been a while since I’ve seen a worse defender than Blaize

Might be why they tried to turn him into a fullback. Far fewer attempted tackles at the back.

But I'm sure his defence will improve with age and experience.

 

[hineyrulz]

ASI does some good things but then he does some absolutely dreadful things.


He needs to f**k off those early tackle kicks.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We were going fine until we stopped completing our sets. We are still a poor defensive side, even up 16-0. We need to minimise the amount of ball the opposition get.

I’ve honestly never seen a more overrated player. He’s f**king awful

Kicks it when he should run it runs it when's he should kick...

 

[EppingEel]

Can't deny that Gutho tries hard, but he just isn't good enough to defend ar fullback any more, his pace costs us more often than not

Doesn’t even chase his kicks either

 

[JokerEel]

If the Panthers can make Blaize a decent defender than Clearly deserves coach of the decade

 

[Gherkin]

No wonder our attack looks so good in those pre season training reports, they had Blaize defending against them

That changed the game, trying trick shots instead of playing for field position. Then didnt kick when it was needed.

Moses was a shit defender until a few years ago

 

[Pazza]

sooner we can get lane and RCG back out there the better

 

[Zoso]

Two early kicks from Asi didn’t do anything for us either.

 

[Parra Pride]

Can't deny that Gutho tries hard, but he just isn't good enough to defend ar fullback any more, his pace costs us more often than nit

The problem is his running game isn’t worth playing him anywhere else. It’s either fullback or nothing. It’s sad because he still busts his ass trying, but he should probably considering hanging up the boots.

2nd tackle kick when we were on their 40m was criminal.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Been a while since I’ve seen a worse defender than Blaize

So we got a good one?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yep. You could see he wanted to kick into space while it was there but we also want to make the Broncos tackle. Kick on the last ffs
