Rd26 Eels v Dragons GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank Stadium Aug 31st

[EppingEel]

At the game, so maybe I missed something, but how in God's green earth did the Dragons get the ball back at the end of the game?

Before their last try

 

[RustedonEel]

Haha, Brown to fullback? You're dreaming.

Think they said we knocked on, and dragons got no advantage

[My wife and kids were screaming at me as I was laughing my arse off....I said we won't lose...
I've never laughed so hard and copped abuse at the same time...happy fathers day

only parra can turn what should have been a thrashing into scratching out a win
our new conditioning coach certainly has their work cut out for them

 

[Eelogical]

That's the worst win that I can remember.

 

[eels_fan]

There is not enough negative words to describe that performance.

Ryles saw all he needed to prove this team cannot be redeemed, they just need a broom through it

 

[Happy MEel]

So what did we learn:

- Drown is diabolical as a last defence defender
- Elkin can’t train an 80 minute team
- We need some serious psychological help


- we can attack when we’re not poorly coached.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Not going to bag the side. We got a win in a tough season.....great for 70 mins. Horrible last 10, without Gutho.

Game is the story of our season....get blown off the park for 10-15 mins most games, which leads to a loss......plenty for Ryles to work with....

Bring on the spoon bowl

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

I was gonna post on here if anyone is still not confident we win when we hit 44....but I thought I was being a bit dramatic.....lol

 

[The EELiminator]

Wouldn’t it be amazing to support a team that doesn’t switch off in the last 10 minutes of a game.

20 minutes
40 minutes
1st minute some games

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Ryles saw all he needed to prove this team cannot be redeemed, they just need a broom through it

Not really.....maybe the opposite, he saw what the side can do, and what needs to be fixed...earlier to fix a crap 10-15 min period in performance and a good 65-70 mins....rather then 70 mins of crap...

 

[Chipmunk]

I’ve said it before. Not one merkin that ran out today is a must keep.

It will be worse if we choose to move Gutho on straight away.

Gutho went off with 11 to go.

From now on...never confident...no matter the lead...

 

[hindy111]

We won with a lot of players out against a side playing for finals.
Yeah it was a dissapointing end but we see that the side still has something. Inject Lomax,Moses,Matto,Hopgood,Jnr,Simmonson,Guymer and its not to bad

 

[hineyrulz]

I’ve got a pineapple on sivo doin 3 facial elbows

Please tell me you put on this bet. And what odds did you get??

Or we just keep Gutho on the field for 80 minutes every week.

 

[Noise]

Got to learn to defend without him at fullback . May as well start learning with a new coach over an off season.
