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

[Suitman]

Anyway, that was a great game and a fantastic advertisement for RL.
If we'd lost I'd be disappointed but wow, watching on tv it was just gripping stuff.
To walk away with the win was just icing on the cake.
We, as Eels, haven't come out of games like this with much success over the years.
It was such a great feeling to be able to give a fist pump at the tv when Stone's try was finally awarded.
It has made my Saturday night.

The team reflects the coach. Dumb

*tough

 

[Gary Gutful]

Two of bombs. One of a field goal hitting the post.....

Stop making excuses for Bellamy. To concede 5 tries against a shit team like Parra is embarrassing...

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.

agree some really good performances with some big average ones. The defensive lapses are a massive worry. The high light was Dylan Brown his performance today is what is expected from a 5/8.

But true

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I dunno if we're great or shit now!!

We're great, but were nearly shit. Just like we were nearly great last week, but were actually shit. Thankfully this week Melbourne are shit and so is their coach.

 

[Gary Gutful]

He’s in Melbourne. Probably drinking some craft beer, which he can’t handle. Superdry is his staple and if he deviates it’s not pretty

No doubt he has shit his pants and is passed out in a park in Carlton.

You set things up Gould style and have a bet each way so that you'll invariably be right. Embarrassing affair if you are trying to talk it up.

I HAVE IMSONIA f**kWIT

Imagine how Bellamy would go if he didn’t have hair? His only saving grace as a coach.

Living the dream

 

[Happy MEel]

No doubt he has shit his pants and is passed out in a park in Carlton.

Probably still looking for a Superdry

 

[Eelementary]

Don't give up mate!

What happened after that was insane!

I never would have pictured Lane charging the field goal down...wow!

 

[Suitman]

The defensive lapses are a massive worry.

No, they are not.
Do you watch any other games?
Our defense was actually quite immense tonight if you watch how much ball they had in our attacking zone.

So he is having a top night then

 

[Sensei Cobra]

The storm are now officially our bitches

 

[Gary Gutful]

It looked like he'd gone down to Chemist Warehouse and bought a batch of Just for Men. Probably bought some David Beckham aftershave as well...

 

[DaveMc]

No, they are not.

The red zone defence was really good, but we’re still conceding too much in the middle of the field and letting teams get into our end too easily. I’m surprised at how many tackles just aren’t sticking and how much second phase play we’re letting happen. Mahoney especially just seems to be falling off tackles after making decent first contact. Bit of a worry I reckon.

Yes it was 8-3 line breaks in Storms favour. But we had a bit more desire and held strong. They have better attack and more explosive players. Penrith when all fit will be the benchmark thou.
We beat the Storm and didn't even play anywhere near our best plus have 3 or 4 players to come back. We will get better. Storm I don't think will a whole lot.

This. Embarrassing that any of the usual negative dickheads would even try and make an appearace tonight. 3rd straight victory against the Storm is apparently not good enough...

 

[T-Boon]

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

I’d say there was 10 games in 2009 alone that top that. Good game though.
