Rd3: 530pm Eels v Storm GAME DAY THREAD @ AAMI Park 26/3/22

[Gronk]

Interestingly when the eels lose but have stats as good as the storm did tonight, it’s Drown isnt a half, Gutho is too slow, moses is a flat track bully…..

What amazes me is that this s is an Eels forum, yet the constant flow of negativity woukd suggest otherwise. Even after a win, noses are out of joint.

Kafusi also ran down Papaenhuzen with an important tackle.

I'd have to take it all in. D.Brown was excellent, Lane excellent.
Jnr and RCG 2nd stint excellent. Guth was good also.

Penisini still has a bit to learn in defense. Would love to see him get more early ball.

I thought Papali'i was ok. Bit poor in defense but was a good running game.

Mahoney had a stinker.

Hmmm not sure. I felt like the owned us the first 15. Then we owned them for the next 20.
They then dominated for the final 5 mins and also the first 25mins of 2nd half. Then we dominated the next 10 and them the final 5.

I'd have them 50mins to us 30mins domination. But we won. We dug deep and hung on. There domination come from us not holding Papa down at start of sets which can be fixed.

Im glad we took turns in 5 minute increments otherwise it would be really hard to keep up

That would have to be in my top 10 eels games I’ve ever watched

Our last 3 games against Scums would be close to being in there

that was written during the game you dumb f**k. When you were born were you dropped on your head ? He’s a f**king shit coach. Nice guy but a shit coach. Don’t take it so personally BA lover

The useless merkin has coached his side to three consecutive wins over the best coach the game has seen. Though I do concede that you know better, and if you were in charge it would’ve been 50-0. So yeah, I do apologise for questioning your genius.

For his size, Dylan must be one of the strongest players pound for pound in the competition. Seemed to break tackles at will in parts of the game. He could be a superstar.dy

Dyl made some good tackles a well

Ping the haters.

It's constructive criticism. I find it fun everyone losing their shit during the game. Its almost like being at the game. I'm not wanting to sit and analyse it. Just let pure emotions flow. Jakes comments make me laugh. You do realise he is being sarcastic half the time. He is funny.

Stop taking what everyone says in here so seriously.
But also remember.
WHO f**kING SAID LANE WAS GOING TO BE HUGE THIS YEAR AFTER WATCHING HIM IN FIRST TRIAL? IT WAS ME HINDY111. I COULD SEE BY THE WAY HE WAS MOVING AND HIS AGILITY.

I GOT IT RIGHT AGAIN

Any news on Simonsson?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

f**k we're a dumb team. Seriously. A field goal on the very first play after the 6 again was a no brainer....

Arthur must've sent out the message for every merkin to do their own thing. But also how shit is Bellamy! They conceded five tries to our shit attack ffs

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Any news on Simonsson?

Still shit

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Absolute chokers

Melbourne? Bit harsh but whatever

 

[Joshuatheeel]

ref was garbage tonight, but had no problem finding offside penalties…

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If karma exists we pull this out of out arse somehow

You win some you lose some. Today we won some.

 

[strider]

Ping the haters.

Not surprisingly Waqa spills his water at the end ... lol

ref was garbage tonight

That’s genuinely one of the ugliest tackles I’ve seen for a while. Prone attacker, swinging arm, nothing but intent to strike the head. And Klein didn’t even notice it. It’s just not good enough.

 

[Eelementary]

ref was garbage tonight

He's always been a dog.

How embarrassing for him that Maka went toe-to-toe with him, and actually held his own.

 

[Happy MEel]

ref was garbage tonight, but had no problem finding offside penalties…

That is seriously bad contact. If he doesn’t get a few games for that the judiciary’s focus on consistency is a joke

 

[lingard]

Our last 3 games against Scums would be close to being in there

And the game against Melbourne at Parra Stadium 2010. First time we played them after losing to them in the '09 grand final. Haynes headbutts Slater. Brilliant.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We all know how this ends.

We're a chance of winning any game. Luck is always a factor.
