Rd6 2024: 530pm Eels v Cowboys GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank Stadium Apr 13th

[Joshuatheeel]

More calls go our way today than the rest of the season combined

we need some luck, but we better take advantage of it

and god help us if we need Gutho to kick an important goal.

What calls have gone our way tonight?

 

[Cumberland Eel]

But, what would they do with it?

lol true but I’d like to think (dream) it’s better than what our forwards can dish up

 

[Eelogical]

The Tigers are the most penalised team (per game) in the comp this season: https://www.nrl.com/stats/teams/?competition=111&season=2024&stat=1000026

Conceding penalties until the ref gets tired of blowing his whistle is a known tactic. The Storm and Roosters are two of the most penalised teams every single year.

Brilliant! If only we could concede more penalties we might have a better chance at winning. BA, what are you f**king doing?

 

[Bandwagon]

First ten minutes or so was diabolical, since then despite the many errors I reckon we've been pretty good, effort is there, and we've earned a bit of luck because of it.

If we can complete in the 80 something % range next half we will score plenty, if we keep throwing it away like the first half, they will score plenty.

The obstruction on our kick is the only maybe fortunate one.

 

[84 Baby]

effort is there

For some but most are still waiting for others to do the work

 

[Suitman]

I've watched us play in 8 grand finals and win 50% of them. That's one GF for every 7 years I've been alive.
I've seen enough.

I can't say I agree with this sentiment, even though I have seen all those 8 grand finals.
It's been 37 years since we have won another GF.
For a club as big as ours, we should be doing better than that.
I'm sure you want your daughter to see one, and I'm sure as hell that my daughters want to see one.
And, after all this time, I want to see a premiership victory (again) as well.

Hip drop sin bin

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Harper!! Take him off the list!!

 

[Suitman]

Looks like supporters have decided to save the heartache and stay home

I said it before. Ticket prices and corporate greed are the issue.
Saturday 5.30 pm is a great time slot, yet we are playing against probably the worst drawing team.
It's time to drop the ticket prices for certain seats.
It is no surprise that all the empty seats are the most expensive ones.
Crowds are great at the moment but there is so much more clubs could do to get more fans to games.

What calls have gone our way tonight?

None imo. If your out your out. Good scrambling defense

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He's not allowed to throw it over ffs, they have to use their foot!!!

 

[Homo man69]

Arthur was right about Harper, he's a coaching genius

 

[Avenger]

He tries his heart out which is why he can’t be put on the shit list.

Morgan Sebastian Harper.

We'll lose this one.
