Rd5: LIVE game day thread EELS v Panthers

[Dibs]

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

Gee you won just enjoy it sook

 

[Incorrect]

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

You reckon? You aren't going to win many games if you can only jag 1 try from a kick coupled with a mistake by the opposition. I know the effort was good today but saying we'll win plenty of games with the attack we are executing is massively optimistic ..

 

[Joely01]

I feel your frustration, but you can't have it both ways - you can't say, "We are so shit!" and then be pissed that we are not losing by 50 to a much better side...

We are losing because of our own stupidity.
We can’t attack!
We can’t hold the ball!
We love to give away soft penalties when we start building pressure!

We are rubbish!

Pou never posts during games

I sometimes post but I never read any other merkin's.

 

[Jake the snake]

Hoffman (the merkin) catches that ball.... he’s just a reserve grader. FFS.

Penrith defend very well. They get up a bit too quickly but at least the refs penalised them for it today. If we play like that against lesser teams we will get some wins and confidence back.

 

[Noise]

Our attack on their line is not NRL standard. That falls on the coaching staff.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

How many could they of had? If george didnt touch ball or Maloney bump into Tamou. Physcialy gettn slapped around .

They made one line break FFS. And only broke 19 tackles. We broke 35 tackles for three line breaks. We were a bit unlucky, and a bit dumb not to take the penalty goals on offer. That's how Penrith scored most of their points.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The intent is there and much better but we look like we want to score every single play.

We do ourselves no favours either, some of these handling errors are just killers.

And that Hoffman drop will cost us big time, we just cannot nail the big moments at the moment.

Confidence is down.

And of course that has absolutely nothing to do with their linespeed, does it?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Norman has looked decent....his problem is Will f**king Smith is often the next man to get the ball on his side and he f**ks everything up...as did Hoffman.

Moses and the entire right side is a disjointed cluster f**k.

Maloney offside all game.

 

[Bandwagon]

Good effort from the boys there I thought, dug in and had a go, Just lack the spark in attack, we are just plod in that regard.

 

[parra pete]

Plenty of effort. I can cop being beaten if they have a go...and they had ago.
Did the Fox commentary team give anyone else the shits....
They were full of praise for the Panthers, but continually knocked the Eels? I don't get it...especially with Gutherson, Hayne, French, Taka, Evans sitting on the sideline...Keep the faith...Losses and wins come in blocks..It's a pretty close competition.

That’s it I’m not watching another game live this season in an effort to lift this curse

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Merrins runs are strong though. He at anytime can bust the line and break tackles.

He made one tackle break and zero line breaks. Beau Scott broke more tackles ffs.

50% of their points. Dickhead.

I'm not just talking about this game. All season we have looked pedestrian. I think we are averaging 2 tries a game (maybe less?). Our attack is terrible

 

[Noise]

Maloney offside all game.

Lol, refs fault we couldn't score with an abundance of possession.

Why didn't you start that back in round 1 ya merkin?

Mate, they were horrible. How can you even try to defend that display.

It shows that you have some kind of sick obsessive compulsion to argue all the time.
