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

I saw Mark in the Stands. He was in the corporate box.

No wonder i haven't seen him. He's Mark in the box

 

[Gary Gutful]

Thats why he doesn't post here anymore...

We can't even afford a ticket to go out there. Have to rely on text

 

[King-Gutho94]

Did you see Mark in the Stands?

Who ???

Before my time on here.

One of my clients who is a roosters fans got me tickets as he Is a Allianz member.

Thought we punched above our weight tonight just unlucky.

Should be 3-2 realistically and less pressure on us moving forward..

Anyway its our hole so we have to dig ourselves out of it bring on the Tigers next week.

Btw Allianz is a great stadium but give me the battling Commbank as it blue gold to its core ahead of the 800million stadium for latte drinkers in Bondi.

Barlow Park is better than both. Named after Junior Paulo.

There seems to be something here missing tonight... the boring attempted defence of Arthur's persistence with Hodgson and Waqa?

I thought they were good.

Brave roosters have 7 internationals to come back.

brave roosters overcame last year grand finalists scraping off a lucky win

 

[Sonny83]

So Moses gets tackled in the air after a T5 kick, but no penalty because …. ?

well credit to him for not milking a penalty, roosters playmakers also don't do the same

 

[eels_fan]

I can’t be too critical of tonight.

definite top 4 team and we held them out with 20mins under manned and some really poor calls against us imo.

Penisni was not a professional foul. He didn’t engage at all, guy ran at him and Moses tackled.

Moses tackled without ball

Suaalii knocked on in that contest with Gutho but they rule line drop out

It sucks to a start 1-4 but I don’t know if many teams would have done any better with our draw and the bye situation.

if we go 4-1 over the next 5 as we should with the draw we’ll be fine

 

[hineyrulz]

JA would be better than all three of them.

So would your trolling, and it's pretty bad.

As good as @Gary Gutful posts last night. What were Hodgo and him on last night????

 

[Jake the snake]

*123 from 235 Brad

2 wooden spoons Brad

 

[Incorrect]

After 2 games its become pretty obvious Hands is a better DHalf then Hodgo.
His service is better. His defence is better. Even his deception is better.

Not sure about deception.... Hodgo has managed to deceive Parra in to thinking he's still a first grader. I doubt Hands could pull anything near as deceptive as that off....

The 'strip' in the second half was just as much nonsense.

 

[Gazzamatta]

I said it weeks ago. The player who could transform our backline is Toupu. He runs the ball hard, good defensively, knows how to find the try line and is a weapon in the air. Talk about X Factor. It comes in all shapes and sizes. Absolute amateur hour if we dont recognise this opportunity with them signing the Newcastle winger. Ffs whats wrong with us?
About f'n time Emu got a decent run. Hes been doing that stuff for 2 years.
Hodgson was ok the first 20 then he fell off a cliff. Hands is the guy.
Totally outcoached last night. The Brave Chooks knew every move we had. I knew Atkins would fu*k us. He always does.
Rant over but I think I have a second instalment in me later.
