Rd26: EELS v Panthers GAME DAY THREAD @ BlueBet Stadium 24/8/23

[JokerEel]

I mean... it's pretty funny doing it to a former teammate

But it's still assault, and (was it Luke) should be out for at least a few games....

Didnt Corey Norman get 8 weeks for it in the UK?

I reckon the Broncs have shortened big time after last night.

Old man said Penrith are shot ducks. Brisbane will win it. Unsure id write them off yet but.

I am warming to a shock winner. May sound silly but the Chooks and Knights are finding form and the top 4 isn't that strong this season.

No chance Chooks are finding form. They were not good against us we just sucked

Do you subscribe to BA's theory that the top 8 would be happy we aren't in the finals.

Sure. Fully fit we are capable. But then again a fully fit Roosters,Manly (Turbo firing) ,Souths and Cowboys would also worry top sides more then Raiders,Warriors or Sharks I feel.

I thought Russell and Joffa played well.

Driving the clubs standards and motivating the players isn't the coaches job though mate. Not sure who's responsible but it's definitely not the coaches.

Listening to the same voice doesn’t help, unless ur a Bennett or Bellamy, I can barely get through the post game conference, let alone a decade, so I really do think a major part of a coach’s job is to motivate and strategise, that why top coaches have multiple GF wins, and we have zilch

 

[The Predictor]

who could forget the 2 Try hero from the Portuguese wonder boy Isaac De Goise?

Is he still involved in coaching at the club?

Last time we finished the season with a win since 2016!

Alas the only teams that can possibly finish the season with a win are the Premiers, and some of the teams that (despite a final round win) didn't make the top 8 - and we have not been the premiers since... oh, never mind!

as of last season he was working with junior development/rep teams

Probably boring old Melbourne will win it

Where the f**k was this for the last 6 weeks???

that is where Brad Arthur's crap last week about not faulting their effort is exposed as just pure crap. Our effort was 100% last night and so about 90% the week before.

 

[T-Boon]

Dylan Brown was very good last night. If he can grow up off the field he could get us to the promised land (with help).
He isnt as good as Hayne was but he is better in some area most notably hustle. Hayne was the best player I've seen but he was short on hustle.

The way I see effort is how we defend and scramble. We def played with effort last night

 

[yy_cheng]

I actually thought balance of the players starting and bench was v good. Hopgood and Jnr off the bench gave impact.

I still think we dont need moretti and rather hands there

Next year with lane back as starting matto will come onto the bench

This assuming that emu and carty stays

I'd say 75% the week before. The difference was noticeable and staggering.

 

[hineyrulz]

Emu is a must keep. I’ll be pissed if we lose him.

 

[the phantom menace]

Hayne was the best player I've seen.

Man, you should watch some more games.

 

[Bandwagon]

How dopey and biased is Ennis, 18 minutes in and the flog says “Parra are struggling to keep,up and out of it”

I LMAO when he said that, we'd just kept Penrith out, they were looking ragged, and we were marching up the middle with quick PTB's, all I could think of was the merkin wasn't watching the same game.
