Rd6: Eels v Tigers GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank Stadium 18/4/22

[Poupou Escobar]

We’ve all laughed at how emotional ppl get during games. Frustrating game, yes.
But we will f**king blow them away half 2.

Good chance. I'm still expecting us to win but there was always a chance we would lose this.

Woeful first half. We wouldn’t have to scrabble if our fence was half decent. All in all we look poorly coached against a very very average side

A terrible side and we are at home. We can't use to excuse that the Tigers turned up to play today. At home with 30,000 and we just haven't shown up. f**king embarrassing

 

[Jake the snake]

I’m sure super sun Mitch rein will come on and change the game

 

[eels_fan]

We’ll win this game, but BA ought to be stripping the paint off the walls of the sheds after that half.

 

[Snoochies]

Why do we rise and fall against teams. If they are a good team, we're up dor it. If they are shit, we play shit.

 

[hineyrulz]

Excuses for what? I had $20 on the Tigers and $100 on us to win the comp. I could win both bets. Put the razor blades away ffs

Excuses are what you do, who gives a shit who you put a lobster on you jizzmop.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

They win titles... We are just a development club

Mate it's embarrassing to talk about them in the same sentence ffs. f**k off to the Panthers forum if you want to talk about moneybags clubs. We don't even own our training ground ffs.

 

[strider]

BA will stick it up em .... 2nd half will tighten up

 

[Eelementary]

You love Matterson. Id always start him at lock. Have him use his skills. Great offloaded. If we had a smart coach we'd use him like Yeo is used at Penrith. Matterson has more skill but he use him as a battering ram

I'd love Matterson starting, and Brown off the bench.

Houso!

 

[hindy111]

We don't defend well against teams that play Parraball against us.
That's all the Tigers are doing.

Agree and why I am looking forward to use playing Manly and Souths to see if BA has rectified the problems...

Anyhows we where atrocious and only down by 4. If we want to finish top 4 you can't afford to ever drop these games at home. Id wear it if away or beaten by a top 8 side but against plop? No

Why do we rise and fall against teams. If they are a good team, we're up dor it. If they are shit, we play shit.

It’s what continually stops us from being a contender. The team he picked to today almost said he excepted us just to show up. We will never ever be a contender with him in charge.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Stats smats. We look lazy and disinterested.

We do, but you said it's been like that all year. I showed why you're wrong.

 

[eel01s]

Terrible defence in the middle from us. I expect a lot better in the 2nd half. Tigers won't go away if we let them run.

 

[Eelementary]

I know that tackle from Laurie on Guth was impressive but it is really a cat play on a defenseless player.
There are too many reasons in the game to base your whole game plan around bombs.
I say a ball caught on the full should be rewarded like with a 7 tackle set or something.

I'm a massive fan of Gutherson, but he should have jumped, to take that tackle out of the equation, tbh.

 

[hindy111]

Houso!

I put $10 on them

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We need the calming influence of Jakob Arthur.

Where's Dylan Brown ffs. Why isn't he playing?

 

[Jake the snake]

A terrible side and we are at home. We can't use to excuse that the Tigers turned up to play today. At home with 30,000 and we just haven't shown up. f**king embarrassing

comes down to the coach. He’s been saying all week that we would not underestimate them. Talk is cheap

 

[hineyrulz]

We do, but you said it's been like that all year. I showed why you're wrong.

Rubbish, our defence has been lazy and poor around the ruck all year. Most of those figures were beefed up by beating a Saints team that just gave up. When someone pushing back this club and team piss themselves.

Absolutely. Exactly what Papenhausen did
