Addo-Carr in, Penisini gets a second chance over Russell...

No Matterson inclusion due to undisclosed injury, and looking weak on the bench.

And the return of Lussick, lol.

Dogs by 28.

 

[RustedonEel]

Fire up merkins, it's game day

Dogs by 50 in the wet. Weather clears = Dogs by 70

Well they can't blame the heat today....

Well they can't blame the heat today....

Gee it’s humid out there today.

 

[JokerEel]

The 2017 game v dogs is on TV ATM.

Boy did we have a good team.

French and Semi on the wings...

 

[piggysmalls]

Eels shown nothing last two weeks to suggest we can even remotely be competitive today. Yet, somehow, I think we’ll win. I hate that I love this team.

 

[Twizzle]

dont think we are quiet ready to win these games just yet, I just hope we put on a improved showing

I fear you are right.

Brown, Paulo and Lane need to step up and make it happen, or just f**k off.

 

[the phantom menace]

On paper, and if they play somewhere near to their individual abilities, a pack of Offa, Lussick (sigh), Paulo, Lane, Williams, Hopgood could be just as strong as anything we've had on the park in the last two seasons....

But they played like busteds last week against the Tigers, and I see nothing that indicates they'll do any better this week against the Dogs.

Williams is the only one whose efforts I'd applaud, Hopgood is trying but something's not quite right (playing through injury?), Offa is Offa, and the others have been phoning it in for too long.

 

[TheParraboy]

If it isn’t already (trying to be positive) lose this game badly then season is gone..

Can’t see the current cattle winning more games than last year . Most of the teams outside the 8 last year look like have improved in either their roster or their coach (eg Bennett). Maybe cowboys and fins are a bit stagnant??

I didn’t think we could go backwards after 2023, but here we are

Flip side , if we get a good win today. Hopefully gives the group ton of confidence and further improvement

No idea what to expect
Head says dogs by 20+
Heart says Parra by 1

Maybe Hawkins will be louder ??

Hate it when we are quiet…

 

[RustedonEel]

Shit!! Joey's changed his tip and is backing the Eels.

 

[the phantom menace]

Will be good to see what Hawkins brings... but I don't think it will be hugely more than Volkman, and behind another beaten pack/lost middle, he and Ado-Carr (or Moses for that matter) aren't the adjustments that will pull us out of the rut.
