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

[Poupou Escobar]

So who beat us in the first week of the Finals last season?

You're thinking of week two the year before.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

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

It was!

[Poupou Escobar]

Was he ready last year to play the JA role.

We didn't really need a specialist dummy half last year.

 

[EelsFan05]

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.

Was there to. Train wreck paints to nice a picture.

Pretty sure we had the week off. Then we were fresh to belt Canberra in week two.

I was there as well.

Like everyone I was in shock semi scored a 95m try and was like we will put 50 on them then Thurston tore us up the hole.

FMD...are you drunk?

Ricky got what he deserved that game.

 

[EelsFan05]

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

No wonder they can use so much energy smashing opposition inside their 20m zone. They dont do any of hard yards down their own end in attack.

Smart man cleary

Apparently Mitch also broke the NRL record tonight for most kicking metres in a match.

Tad under 1000m

 

[King-Gutho94]

Btw watching that cat Luai tonight he should be paying 70% of his wage to Chinboy. Without him he wouldn't have played origin or won 2 comps.

He has lived off chinboy and without him he is just a lost puppy from Mt druitt.

I only remember one kick landing outside the 10m zone, and it landed inside the 20.

Given the lack of metres we often get coming out from our own end, we'd be f**ked without his long kicking game.

and everyone down the Penrith wingers throat....Glad it wasn't to To`o...

Are you whinging? FFS

It wasn’t down To’o’s throat because the gameplan was to kick to the other winger to limit both To’o and Edwards kick return potency.

when you are kicking 50m+ it’s pretty hard to find open grass with 3 people back.

Predictability suits us, so this way we know where the set will start and that the opposition won't have seven tackles.

Is that like a tactic kinda thing?
Wow.

No...DEFINITELY NOT WHINGING....Loved the game, and the effort put in by both teams..GAME OF THE YEAR....
Thought Bryce Cartwright had his best game in Parra colours..Owen has left the building....
