How was the cowboy first try allowed when he pushed Lane ..

 

[Oscarman]

Clearly all the boys love Bushy

I genuinely don’t understand the level of hate Harper gets a lot of the time. Yep he should’ve caught that pass and scored. But his effort tonight was excellent. Was involved in plenty. Clearly we need someone better (Lomax) but I like the effort he puts in. In fact assuming he’s on a minimum contract he’s producing well.

It was a good win and much needed one too, 6 competition points and they dont want to get away too far from the 8 in this part of the year. Not exactly pretty but Ive got to admire some of the performances of some of the players, especially our leader Gutho. You can see his passion and how fired up he was when the full time siren went. Also how miraculous was Simmonsen coming back on. So glad he came back on. You can tell how guttered he was injured and wanted to play on. I like that passion, he wants to be there and puts in so much effort. Assuming he's fit, he deserves to keep his spot. Also glad someone mentioned Joe O, I think he's been good this year and that was a good try he scored. Well done boys.

Sutton is completely clueless

 

[eels_fan]

Proud of the boys but almost impossible to have any joy with what has happened today in Bondi.

kudos to Brad for his comments in the press conference

my thoughts are with everyone

Harper did better today than he has played all season..

I'd be can get a few more games at centre it could only help with his combination.
Let's hope Simmonson is ok next weekend

Sutton is completely clueless

It was a penalty last night. Agree Sutton is clueless.

Why does Ruben Cotter look like a potatoe with a headband and moustache...

 

[Angry_eel]

Good win. Held on. Nuff saud

Because he’s a Cotterdge Pie?

 

[JokerEel]

Holmes try in the second half was a double movement. Not sure how it was allowed ......

 

[King-Gutho94]

I'm hoping Matterson's been tapped on the shoulder. He's a f**kwit, not a team player and is getting lazy. Will also give me another tick in the prediction thread.

What does Matto actually offer like seriously.

Can someone tell me he doesn't change a game in defence or attack that is worthy of his current wage.

If we let him go he would not be missed.

I’ve been hamming it up a bit to shit stir Avenger but I still think he’s average. Can’t fault his effort tonight though. It wasn’t pretty, but it was pretty effective.

 

[King-Gutho94]

It was an ugly win. We were SO frustrated how we turned the ball over constantly.

Anyway we beat the second place team. Simmonson’s broken leg got better. The footy gods answered my prayers.

Stop being so negative ffs.

I thought the feldt one was a try personally early. Asi was never getting there and it maybe it the rule.

But the rules currently are wrong.

So probably a square up but yeah they foresnic everything so was bizarre it was missed.

 

[JokerEel]

I like how the ref put the whistle away when we were going for a Field goal in the last few minutes.

Cowboys never onside but it's fine...

Rules are pretty clear on the obstruction you don't run at the defenders outside shoulder.
He goes 1 step to his right its a try just lazy from the cowboy player.

My wee man thought the same thing. I thought it was ok, but I’d probably need another look.
