Matto was really good

Doorey makes a good replacement

The worry is Hodgson. As soon as we took him off we looked better.

 

[The Predictor]

Predictor, has finally got one correct!!!

 

[IFR33K]

I said we could win. Now we beat the Roosters next week.
That was the best game I've seen all year. Have to give Nathan some credit for how he got them back in it. What a bloody good game

paulo will be missed next week.

 

[yy_cheng]

Hopgood needs a rest

 

[jk13]

What a game. I hated and loved myself continuously for 80 mins

 

[Gronk]

Yes but he still played amazing. What did you call him? A Jeff Robson 2? Go to bed you lollipoper

This is an EELS supporter site dickhead.

Yeah, I think you're right. He can be handy, but I think 50 minutes is his ceiling.

He was fine for the first 25, then he was just wasted, Hands on for the back end of the half after that display, then same 2nd half.

Always should carry a utility (especially considering Hodgson) Hands, is it.

 

[Happy MEel]

Our completion rate was sublime for such an intense game.

Yeah, but f**k Panthers.

When Lane is back, we'll have more quality to play with

 

[Happy MEel]

Agreed, he brought intensity when he came on. Shout out to Bryce who is playing some bloody tough footy on the other side.

 

[Gronk]

I reckon he’s good to have at the club. Experience you can’t buy.

 

[DaveMc]

Credit to BA, that use of the bench was much improved. Would like to see Greig get a bit more time, but the use of Hands and Doorey was very good. There’ll be a bit of competition for the edge spots once Lane is back (Bryce didn’t do anything wrong tonight either), and as stiff as this might sound, I wonder if Hopgood could possibly end up odd man out at some point.

Really happy for Mitch to have pulled that off - it won’t shut up his critics, but that was a genuine clutch play. I gave us literally no hope at the end of regulation time with Junior off and Penrith with all the wind in their sails after that Cleary kick, but Mitch was cool as.

Suddenly we have the same number of wins as Penrith for the season, and things don’t seem to bleak. Did it the f**king hard way though.

 

[yy_cheng]

I reckon if hopgood didn't get an hia, we lose.

That interchange brought dooorey on and he laid on a try.

Hopgood would've been tired and would've been a defensive liability

Go f**k urself merkin of a merkin.

 

[Happy MEel]

Yeah, I think you're right. He can be handy, but I think 50 minutes is his ceiling.

I’d be going Hands - Hodgson - Hands or Hodgson for 25 and then Hands for the remainder.
