Rd5 2024: 615pm Eels v Raiders GAME DAY THREAD @ GIO Stadium April 7th

[Enamoured Eel]

We should've won last week but nobody should've had their hopes up for today.

Why? Tell me why this squad cannot compete?

The Raiders at home were pantsed by Penrith, Manly, New Zealand, Newcastle and Brisbane last year - all convincingly when their squad was arguably stronger.

Let’s be real; the Raiders aren’t achieving anything this year. If we want to be a heavyweight these are WINNABLE games.

Blaize is a f**king mile off being a first grader too, to be frank. Expecting a space cadet like Brown to do it all is silly at the best of times, but even worse when he’s got a literal non-entity playing in the halves with him. Asi may be ordinary as f**k, but at least he can do a few things.

 

[Happy MEel]

I think it might be time to swap Gutho and Blaize.

 

[TheParraboy]

The comeback begins..

 

[Wally21]

Gutho has to take control of the team.

 

[hineyrulz]

That ball was asking to be intercepted.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Force Canberra to make a few tackles and they slow down.

 

[84 Baby]

Even that was f**king lazy and dumb

 

[The Predictor]

Pretty disappointing half… but is anyone genuinely surprised? I’m not. We are missing our halfback and it shows. We will be lucky to win three games in his absence.

We certainly don’t have the mentality of the top sides, rooters almost beat dogs with 11 men, not having Moses is a poor excuse, these cnts are supposed to b professional athletes, clearly Pou can’t wait for these sort of post….. tosser!!!!

 

[JokerEel]

Sivo sign him up for life no one else could have scored that

 

[Delboy]

The failure to sign any one with speed and X factor to complement the team was the request ,and they sign Harper . Then we get carved up when they make a break. We may be compliant in many areas, but are crap compared to most clubs when we lose a player or two.

 

[hineyrulz]

Oh well at least we have some points and we are trying hard. Thats the main thing.

 

[84 Baby]

We absolutely lost last week because of that. Mitch plays and we win by 20+ with all that ball. I think people fail to understand how important a halfback is in this game. Shit set and Mitch kicks us out of trouble 99.5 times out of 100.

Mate not having Moses is no excuse for shit attitude and laziness

Also, Cartwright on that edge is also out….
Additionally that has taken Matterson out of the middle rotation

I’m not sure the Roosters getting beaten by the Dogs is a great example. They were prohibitive favourites and were down 26 zip.

Correct.

 

[The Predictor]

No, we miss our halfback mate.

So should call it a season and try again next, that’s a pathetic yet very much a Parra attitude, so fkn ridiculous!!!

 

[Gronk]

lol you are a deader spanner. So by Moses being out there it means we can’t do anything of those things??

We haven’t been in this game, the effort is not there.

You’re trying real hard to make out that losing Moses and playing like a rudderless piece of shit team is a mere coincidence.

Go stir up someone else.

They showed hart and resilience, that is my point

 

[Sensei Cobra]

Fogarty kicking game is exceptional… I wonder if we should put some pressure on ?
