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

[Poupou Escobar]

Failure is in our DNA. It’s what this club does.

I blame Fitzy/Spags/BA

 

[Gronk]

Need to hold the ball or the dirty Tigers might win this.

 

[hineyrulz]

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

He’s just an untalented utility FFS!!

 

[hindy111]

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.

I pointed out what they where building when they where not in the top 8 and everyone laughed.... I also said sign GOULD at any cost and Ciraldo....
Anyhows watch the Dogs in 2yrs time mate. They'll be top 4 while we sit back in the wooden spoon fight.

 

[Eelementary]

Absolutely. Exactly what Papenhausen did

Exactly.

I think Gutherson is generally a smart player, but I can't understand why he didn't jump there - it would have made it almost impossible for Laurie to tackle him.

Keep shitbagging the club you fake fan, mediocre loving merkin.

 

[hindy111]

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

Maybe he was watching Jake play in NSW cup.....

 

[T-Boon]

this is the type of game I wish there were 3 minute quarter time breaks. Big fired up crowd. A need for the coach to be able to get out there and fire his team up. It would really add drama and money.

 

[hineyrulz]

I blame Fitzy/Spags/BA

I thought it was the fans?? Or the players when it suits you. One thing for sure it’s never the coach or his staff.

 

[Bandwagon]

Just need to stop trying to score off every second play, value possession and get back to grinding out a win rather than trying to blow these merkins off the park.

 

[Eelogical]

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

We'll see him in the 2nd half.

 

[EelsFan05]

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

The ultimate Pou'ism. You are one of a kind mate. I've grown to like and dislike you all at the same time.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

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.

Agreed. If you take away rewards for grinding footy you'll remove the incentive to play that way. At the moment we are losing because we are letting the Tigers have too much ball. If we hold the ball their defence isn't good enough to keep it together. They will collapse. Not too different from our defence actually.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I hope we stick to the plan and keep throwing it around. See what happens.

 

[T-Boon]

Agreed. If you take away rewards for grinding footy you'll remove the incentive to play that way.

100%

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Horrible first half …..

but didn’t storm also take the tigers lightly and were down 14 to 4 or so at one stage

 

[Poupou Escobar]

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.

We value fairness

 

[T-Boon]

WTF was that from Mahoney?

 

[Jake the snake]

Mahoney you dope

Horrible first half …..

The Storm had almost all their spine out.
