Rd5: Eels v Titans GAME DAY THREAD @ CBus Stadium 9/4/22

[The Predictor]

The boys did us proud tonight they not only had to beat the Tits, but officialdom to boot, the most corrupt performance I’ve seen from officials in my 46 years of following the game, this can’t go on!!!

 

[Gronk]

Good win. Cheers mofos.

 

[Soto]

Frustrating but courageous win playing against 21 men.
Some real crazy decisions and looked for reasons not to award parra tries.
Herbert right on halftime and the tackle on Opacic in the in goal were both dirty tackles. Grub.
Will Smith all of a sudden thinks he's tough.
Rein ran when an overlap was created and he didn't pass the ball.
For mine i think Perham probably comes onto the wing.
Would expect Lane and Nuikore back too.
Good long break now which hopefully means Russell isn't too far away.
I don't think we should name a number 2 anymore it's fkn cursed...4 players now have gone down wearing that jersey. Just make it 22 ffs.
Hope there is 30k at the Tigers game and zero tigers supporters

 

[The Predictor]

Hoping Zack Cini will make his debut next week, against his old club, I like him, very gutsy!!!

Great win!!

Makatoa is a good honest toiler and a great story, but surely Marata would be a better option on the bench?

Now he'll have a reggies game under his belt for match fitness, Marata can slot stright into the backline as injury cover

 

[King-Gutho94]

I am normally critical on how we let teams back into the game after getting out to a lead.

But not tonight we didnt get a call all 2nd half and basically defended the whole 2nd half.

Losing Blake and reshuffling backline didnt help.

One of the most courageous wins in a long time.

I am surprised BA said the boys were sombre in the dressing room. They were swimming upstream in the 2nd half without a paddle thanks to the refs.

I reckon sivo or waqa would've scored the try that oppa couldn't

In years gone by this squad wouldn't have had the composure to not lose their shit under those conditions, and throw the game away. Toughed it out despite some whopper decisions and 9 consecutive penalties against.

 

[Incorrect]

Surprise surprise in the Gutho interview there is a from behind view of Fifita try…

merkins.

It was a fair try. Also, the bunker review decisions and footage independent of what Fox and 9 are showing us during the broadcast. So while we all thought they jumped the gun, they would have seen that other angle before Fox broadcast it, the ref's were sweet with it. So should we be....

f**k im pissed, and upset as well! What a tough gritty win.

f**k the refs, f**k the bunker f**k everyone. Good to see us play tough.

Except it seems he didn't play in reggies... so might not be ready

Sadly don’t think he can unless we promote him..the Fijian is top 30 so in front of him followed by Sam…..

You saying the ref was bad….9 to 1…nothing to see plus the rest..

Holbrooks whinge in round 1 paid off.

Still couldn’t beat us but.

A shame, the Fijian can’t catch the ball!!

Gold coast must have become a big club in 4 weeks.

Maybe it was their superb performance last week got them on the map.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

But will get a hatrick against the tigers…

 

[Tooooks]

Last time we played them we won the penalty count 7-1. Pretty strange to see such lopsided penalty counts.

 

[hineyrulz]

How do you dominate the ruck like we did and lose the penalty count 9-1??? Paowwwwlowwwws sin binning was embarrassing.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Suck a fart Hollbrook.
