Rd5: LIVE game day thread EELS v Panthers

[Avenger]

We have no confidence but are probably the most committed we’ve been all year.

 

[Eelementary]

Honestly...we're doing ok.

Penrith are a f**king good team, and we're hanging on.

We will not beat them, but they certainly have not disgraced our club.

 

[El Diablo]

at least Will Smith is having a go even if every time he has a go it turns to shit

 

[Joshuatheeel]

A penalty?

 

[Kornstar]

We are a bad team.

 

[Noise]

A penalty?

Terepo was all over him. DUmb

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Shoulda taken the two. It's the best move when you're in front, there's no reason it's not the best when you're behind. We are drawing plenty of penalties.

Yep we would have 4 points now instead of being 10 behind!!

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

They're taking the two...

 

[Bazal]

90% of this forum needs a Bex...
We could have 2-3 tries. If Hoffman catches that first one we probably do have 2-3 tries.

It's always amazing how the bounce of the ball goes against you when confidence is down

 

[Lemon Squash]

Penrith are doing this in 3rd gear, we are in trouble if they take it up a notch

 

[Noise]

Another half where we score 0 points.

 

[IFR33K]

No more than what they’re over us. f**k perenara was a pos player and is a worse ref.

 

[Eelementary]

So...10-nil at half-time...

Look, we should have scored at least once, but honestly - truly- I thought we'd be down by 20+ by half-time.

Theoretically, we are in this game.

I was just hoping that they would have a red-hot go, and they have done that, thus far - but they have simply been out-classed, and out-muscled by a far superior side.

 

[Happy MEel]

Effort alone is NOT good enough. We need competence and ability and if the merkins out on the field can’t do it then we need to look at mid season transfers to sought our shit out.

 

[Snoochies]

Well we're still in it......cool

[Chipmunk]

Our attitude has kept us in the contest so far. Interesting to see if we can get away with this one. Not looking great so far

 

[EelsFan05]

So what's the excuse now that we had our even share of possession (52%)?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Terepo was all over him. DUmb

It's bugger all, compared to what panthers are doing. If the ref was serious, we should have had another 10 penalties, if peni got penalised for that!!

Ref is trying hard to prevent a massive penalty count so panthers getting away with murder!!

 

[Kornstar]

We’ve had 52% possession and only completed 67%......
