Rd5: EELS v Roosters GAME DAY THREAD @ Allianz Stadium 30/3/2023

[Happy MEel]

We look 1000x better attacking down the right. So why the f**k do we go left so
Much.

 

[yy_cheng]

Why doesn't Moses kick like that all the time

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Should we start with Hands?

 

[Jake the snake]

Now they start playing. Great tactics

 

[jk13]

Good to see them fighting to the end. Buy f**k the nrl

 

[The Predictor]

I’m just wrapped that Emu had played to the potential I always knew he had……shame it took this imposter this long to realise!!!!!!

 

[Cumberland Eel]

@PARRA_FAN not only start I’m wondering if he can play 80??

 

[yy_cheng]

Now they start playing. Great tactics

Long game

 

[Gronk]

Ch9 commentators confirm, Rooster win 129 nil.

Brave, brave roosters overcome all odds.

I can't say tonight was a surprise as I thought the Roosters would win. The Roosters really could've put 50 on us if they executed better, they really let themselves down in that department. We did scramble well at times though, which contributed to that.

We certainly didn't help our causes with a few things that happened throughout the game, we were certainly our own worse enemy, but I think we were beaten well before the match even started. We also really don't play well at this ground.

Those last 2 tries we scored just mask the deficiencies in the squad. At least we finally learnt how to score from a scrum.

My view on tonight is that ultimately we learnt what happens when you only have 2 NRL standard front rowers in your entire squad, and one of them can't play.

Having to play RCG for 58 minutes straight is not going to help your cause. He looked like a passenger when he came back on.

This comp is too close and we're not doing ourselves any favours. Perhaps a X-Factor fullback will solve the problem? FMD...

You'd have to think Lane has a large influence on Dylan Brown. He's pretty useless without him.

Hodgson is a passenger after 25 minutes.

The Tigers will likely be well overdue for a win next week. I suspect they'll get one up against a team with only one NRL standard front rower available.

Long game

Just need another 20mins

 

[Happy MEel]

How long does BA persist with Hodgson as our main hooker? It’s like he feels like he needs to play him as otherwise he’s admitting he’s made a massive mistake. It’s a bit like how Waqa is still in first grade.

 

[The EELiminator]

Sivo should never kick a ball. He’s f**king hopeless. He’s offered f**k all this year

this is the second time he's done it i think the other was storm game?
full set on their line, early in the tackle count and he gift wraps them a 7 tackle set

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Worst loss of the season so far only 8 points but sitting on 2 competition points way to start the weekend, Eels losing and going through a break up

 

[JokerEel]

No Simmonson next week

Tbh, the bench players did quite well.

Hands looks good and great tackling technique.

Give Hodgo a rest. They are not gelling and hodgo is taken bad options

 

[Chipmunk]

No Simmonson next week

We can't be that lucky.
