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

[King-Gutho94]

Good win. We need to chalk up a fee more cause our draw gets tougher.
Injuries starting to pile up

Yeah last year there was probably 6 teams who weren't FG standard and you could chalk up a win.

This year the weaker teams have improved so wont be pushovers. Even middle of road teams will be tougher.

Should be 5-1 after 6 rounds i would like to think we can beat Drags and tigers at home and GC away.

Which is probably what i penciled in at start of year without being too confident. Just had us beating cronulla and losing to Melbourne so currently they are where i expected 2-1.

It would have to be one of the most complete games I’ve seen from him. He was brilliant yesterday. There really should be no justification for moving him from the halves unless he is injured.

Come on mate he’s just a utility with an average kicking game, not creative at all either.

I thought after the ultimate turd that is Scam Smith retired the refereeing would be just a little more impartial, boy was I wrong.

Ashderply Klein did his best to get the Scum home yesterday, the shit they still get away with in the ruck is absolute BS.

I thought we lost our captains challenge early in game then we had another late in game. I was confused there?

I don’t remember us losing it early on.

Why does klein on top of refereeing one game be put in the bunker for another 2 or 3 games each weekend.

He is almost involved in hald the games yet he is probably the worse out of the lot.

Does he have dirt on that muppet Annesley.

Hindy was sleep walking again.

Just on the poor bench rotation.
Stone hadn't even come on until Simonsson had to go HIA. Therefore until that point only 15 players had been used.
Also watching footage of that grub NAS hit on Maka should've resulted in a send off. Blatant, intentional attack of the head. Swinging arm. That should be a send off every day of the week. Watch them hit him with a feather and give him 1 week. As gutless as Barnett's hit.
Barnett should get 6-8 and NAS 4 weeks.
I thought the game was stamping out this gutless thuggish behaviour

 

[King-Gutho94]

Actually did Wiremu go on i didn't see him and completely forgot about him.

 

[Soto]

Stay sitting Greig. You will get a run in round 7

 

[hineyrulz]

I think poor Emu has got appendicitis now as well.

He did to shake hands. He looked good too

He can’t fly but I’m telling you he can run the pants off a kangaroo…

As much as Melbourne's relentless pressure caused errors (their 1%er efforts), it was our 1%ers that got us the win. It's a pity that many here don't see that. They think that our errors were caused by our shit players and shit coach.

Such a dark mindset to have when you should be enjoying a win and the fact that we are a team now that even with a growing list of injuries, we show the resilience needed to be the real deal.

This place is such a downer. Even after a great win, some people still can’t enjoy it. It’s like dating a supermodel and complaining because her nipples are a millimetre too big for your liking.

A Munster kick that could have easily darted across the side line, produced the perfect bounce for Meaney.

Followed by a kick that found the goal post, that produced the perfect bounce.

It's speculation that a rookie on the bench would have made a win easier. I don’t get the angst. We had Jnr, Reg, Lane, Papa and Brown all with gas left in the tank. Which begs the question, who should have been taken off and when ?

 

[Tooooks]

We have nearly the best attack (well, based on points scored) and nearly the worst defence. Exciting stuff!

Lol we were dropping off tackles.
We were gassed. Mahoney, Lane, RCG and Papalii were dropping off. Maybe we watched different games
