Rd4: EELS v Panthers GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank Stadium 23/3/2023

[Chipmunk]

Nope

Nope?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Forward running between your 5/8 and center ten meters wide of the posts means you haven't manned up on the PTB, the ball goes wide there and they score anyways.

Yep, just a good read and execution by Cleary, who lost.

 

[JokerEel]

Btw JFH has turned into a big fkn grub.

[Poupou Escobar]

Matterson the tight arse was immense. He is a f**king top tier player when he’s on and was probably our best when we lost the GF last year.

166m, 58 tackles, 2 missed in 83 minutes

That's exactly two metres per minute ffs

 

[Noise]

In all honesty waqa gets smashed on here and mostly it's probably very much warranted. His defence tonight was outstanding bar one time he got lazy in the first half. We as a team were outstanding defensively

What are you on about? He only made 7 tackles and missed 4. Plus 2 ineffective. That’s disgraceful.

You forgot the two ineffective.

 

[Noise]

You forgot the two ineffective.

Ha just added.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah, 166m and 58 tackles, plenty of PCM,s, didn't look the least bit rusty from the break.

ffs

 

[DaveMc]

Haha I love a stat like that.

I can't wait till later in the year we are down 30-6 and run it down within 10 mins and win 36-30

Don’t remind me, I was there that night, at the end where all of the Cowboys (and our first half) tries were scored. It was like watching a slow motion train crash, I knew we were gone immediately after they scored their second. f**k we had some shockers in that period.

 

[JokerEel]

As good as Matto went tonight he was lazy in the Panthers first try. He should have come in and completed the tackle.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Rcg 261m 84 pcm

Leota and JFH combined for 111m with 28 post-contact. Absolute cats.

 

[Avenger]

Hodgson in 50 min made 28 tackles, missed 8 tackles, 1 ineffective

Hands in 34 minutes made 26, no misses. 1 try and laid on that great pass from dummy half for Moses to ice the game and basically started it all for his own try with great footwork from dummy half and choosing the correct side to attack.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Interchange 6 hopgood is already off

Taking him off a second time, before he even goes back on, will leave him fresher down the final stretch.

 

[The Predictor]

Brown will get better once Lane comes back.

That’s a concern, then!!!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Exciting game , huge relief in the end. I still can't believe how well they executed that field goal.

At least we have learnt how to set up and execute our own.

I just watched the replay and the ref actually called Edwards offside on the kick pressure. He was going very quickly at the time, and when he stopped it looked like he gave the ref a spray.

Anyway it was good because teams are always f**king offside for our field goals.

Was he ready last year to play the JA role.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

People whinge about BAs rotations and then proceed to f**k it up themselves

It's not easy.

 

[T-Boon]

Agreed. I did make a good point last week.

Did I get your point right? I think I did. It was an illuminating point.

 

[T-Boon]

I like RL a lot more when Parra win.
