Rd5: LIVE game day thread EELS v Panthers

[I'm a loser baby...]

Man that was frustrating. Take the f**ken two you f**ken mugs!!

 

[Bazal]

Our attack was as good as Penrith's defence allowed it. Just like we made their attack look ordinary. We made three line breaks to one but Penrith scrambled well, and got off their line very quickly. Lucky for them we refuse to kick for goal.

It's not worth wasting words mate. These blokes are happiest being miserable

 

[Incorrect]

56% possession, 6 points to show for it... Amazing what confidence, or a lack thereof in our case, can do... Game was there for the taking, we've just forgotten how to win

Coaching decision

You merkins are so blinded by misery you can't credit the Panthers defence. It was outstanding

It was not outstanding,Parra threw the same generic crap at them over and over again,easy to defend against that garbage

Panthers defence was good. But we flat out refused to do anything different outside of one out hit ups and the out the back block play. Incredibly easy for an NRL level defensive line to defend that rubbish.

 

[eels_fan]

Hoffman bombed 2 tries today. Rubbish

No fresh men for the last 15 was ridiculous too

I thought Norman was much better and really put in, but our attacking structures totally suck

 

[IFR33K]

Don't care what the death riders say, that effort by the boys was f**ken brilliant!!

Yeah I hate losing, but as long as the effort is good, I am happy!!

PS the ref was f**ken shit!!!

Play with that much heart and we win plenty of games.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

If the effort is good most weeks and we come last are you going to be happy?

Yes!! While 2011 wasn't the greatest year, I didn't mind it as the boys gave 100%

Panthers defence was too good. That's the story at the end of the game no matter what some dumb f**ks here wanna carry on with.

In a high intensity defensive game yours came out on top. Won on penalty goals again ffs!

Panthers where off today. Edwards never makes those mistakes.
We had plenty of ball. We had no variation. We had no offloads. We had no damaging runs. We played far to safe. Coach is to bnlame

 

[Jake the snake]

Very predictable in attack. When they did kick in behind we caused issues but didn’t do this near enough when Penrith were rushing off the line

 

[Noise]

Yes!! While 2011 wasn't the greatest year, I didn't mind it as the boys gave 100%

Fair enough. Easily pleased

 

[ElectricEelMan]

Please stop praising the Panthers defense!!

A team of blind merkins could have defended against this inept team

The problem with the Eels for the past 30 years has been the constant acceptance of mediocrity.

0/5
Ok yes we where in that game but to me the panthers always looked in control. They didnt overplay their hand cause they knew they had enough points at halftime.

Back end if the game we had bodies in motion, pushing into holes, Alvaro especially backed up into several late balls and off loads. Forwards played the ball at the line (although Peni tried it once too often). Panthers defence was too good, but people see what they want to see and the narrative is very much whining and misery

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Notice Pou has been MIA, coming up with all the excuses he can for the clueless coach and rabble of a club.

Mate I thought we were good. We need to take the two but. When you don't you just invite the opposition to stand offside.

 

[Bazal]

A team of blind merkins

You mean this forum?

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Beat the Clock bruh,too easy

 

[The Phelan Folly]

Effort was there but we just lacked a game breaker. Radradra wouldve been nice. Even Hayne. Pennies defence was good, much like Newcastles last night.

 

[Dibs]

Well we had all the ball. I told you all last week our tries where once tigers put cue in rack.

Today we had all the ball and chances.Showed nothing. BA hasnt the attacking tools to take us forward. Been worked out.

Since the 20min mark of rnd 1 we created nothing against the panthers, no try against Manly and 1 against sharks. I have told my opinion on tigers game.

What are you talking about? Panthers haven’t played the tigers yet
