Rd5: Eels v Dragons GAME DAY THREAD @ BankWest Stadium 11/4/21

[Poupou Escobar]

Did you tell BA this?

BA would've said it's ok to take this mob lightly.

 

[Jake the snake]

We’ve been bashed out of the game.

 

[Eelogical]

We were blown away from the onset. Dragons showed up our deficiencies and good for them. So much for our 'patience' philosophy.

 

[T-Boon]

Again they don’t aim up when there’s a big game on the line. Dragons were going to bring the heat and we just weren’t in the game. Coaches fault for not getting them up for the game

yes we get out enthused a lot.

 

[strider]

Lomax is almost first picked for NSW atm .... he can do no wrong

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We are so far off those teams it’s not funny.

Souths as well. But we are closing the gap.

 

[Incorrect]

At least BA won’t blame that forward pass for our loss, Ricky Stuart wouId !!

Grow up ffs

 

[Joshuatheeel]

First, horrible game, attack not defence cost us. Very disappointing!! Dragons wanted it more! Nothing good from the game except no injuries.

But not concerned just yet (waiting for sack BA posts ....), losses like this happen (Roosters lost to manly, south’s to broncos, Raiders to knights first 4 rounds last year), next week will show where we are at ......but we do need a big attitude adjustment!!

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Grow up ffs

ha ha....but Ricky wouId...sorry for offending you with a joke after a horrible eels effort!!

 

[Eelogical]

We’ve been bashed out of the game.

That and out enthused. We would be at long odds to even come near the Raiders next week based on that performance and our history in their wasteland.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I’m not too concerned to be honest. Saints have been tremendous and we are a bit off.

I’m also drinking gin which makes me more relaxed.

Yep it's just one game. No team is up every week. I'm confident we'll have a good season but I thought the Dragons were a good chance this week. I just won $80 and might buy a watch.

 

[Suitman]

This game worries me.
Didn't have a chance to post before but Saints are shit at attack. So are we. Saints are good at defence. So are we.
Will be a good battle.

And so it played out.

Which year did roosters loss to manly?

All good, carry on.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Well we made more offloads, more metres, same line line breaks, all with 20 less runs...,shows how frantic we were and how our halves didn’t take control .....

 

[Chipmunk]

At the start of the season we were likely to finish somewhere in the top 6 and go out in week 1 or 2 of the Finals.

After 5 weeks, we're likely ikely to finish somewhere in the top 6 and go out in week 1 or 2 of the Finals.

There isn't too much to get enthused over either way to be honest.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Again they don’t aim up when there’s a big game on the line.

It wasn't a big game ffs, it was round five vs the Dragons.

 

[lucablight]

I don’t think we’ve been great this season aside from the Storm game. Struggled against last years wooden spooners, struggled to put away the sharks who had no bench for the entire second half and fell over the line against a poor Tigers team that lost to the Cowboys. Our record has been very flattering and this was a good reality check.

 

[Avenger]

Come on Jake. We were well on our way to come back when that try was taken away from us. This is not BA’s fault. They just started better and when we got back into the game our only focus in attack was Gutherson.

It was again a game where a smart halfback gets you back into the contest and the only thing he can do is bomb. FFS compose yourself and get a repeat set. Dylan Brown is better than Moses and he is only 20.

I’d be seriously looking at Adam Reynolds or even Shaun Johnson before waiting for a 27 year old halfback to finally hit his peak.

Moses is so overrated it’s not funny.

yeah I don’t even watch ouR Canberra away games, I traditionally schedule go karting with the boys. As a club we make a point of not turning up there. It’s tradition.
