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

[The EELiminator]

If I'm being honest, I was hoping we'd win. But losing isn't so bad.

losing is okay if it gives them the wake up call they should have got last week

 

[Poupou Escobar]

RCG was cooked because we had no other front row on the bench. BA is an actual genius, he keeps surviving purely because the rest of the comp is too shit to knock us out of the top four.

He only played 57 minutes ffs. 14 runs and 24 tackles. It's not a big workload. Twal did way more than that.

Anyhows......

We are still top 4. I'm glad we lost. We deserved too

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Scrap a few contracts and go all in on Munster.

We need some better toilers in the forwards.

 

[EelsFan05]

Moses had a better chance at a field goal on the fourth and looked every which way but at the goals. We were woeful in just about every aspect of the game. RCG played his guts out to the point he got injured. Gutho has to get out of DBrown's way. Make an line run on the inside or outside, but forget being the play maker.

Losing games like today will probably cost a top 4 spot and it will give excuses to are an arse clown like Pou to tell us

" It'S tOo HaRd To BeAt ThE sIdE's AbOvE yOu In Da FiNaLs"

 

[Parra Pride]

Happens when your tired. 57mins straight.....

Happens when your dumb ass coach doesn't have a front row rotation on his bench.

 

[Stevie]

My take. But first to be clear I love Parra, but:

The top sides don’t lose that game
We missed Paulo, our bench was ordinary.
We still are not a genuine premiership threat imo.
Rein and Kafusi are shocking.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Reed was getting in the road in the second half.
Moses was great in the first half and has been the form half in the comp. When we get beat it is always going to be due to the other team keeping Moses quiet (or our game plan failing to get him into the game).

Moses set up two tries ffs. He has set up 12 this year, twice as many as the next guy, including against better teams than the Tigers.

Top 4...... Mate our draw starts to heat up. Lose against the Knights next week and we might start fighting to be a top 8 shot.
We could be undefeated. This is true. We also won 3 games we could of lost which is also very true.

 

[Noise]

The scrum against the feed shows the attitude we had towards the end.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I thought we were the better team. Too many errors and Tigers took their chances.

 

[84 Baby]

Knew we were up against it when we got camped in their 20 to start the match.
And knew 100% why when we did the short dropout with minutes to go in first half.
Not showing respect to the opposition doesn't mean you should lower your standards to theirs.
Most of side needs an absolute gapping at training

 

[Poupou Escobar]

too easy.

I'm happy to get trolled because I will never let you have the last word when you're wrong.

I’ve been judging him on the last 8 years and all the spoons he’s won…you moron. He’s a choker. He’s has no idea. And will never win us a comp.

So what's that got to do with a nothing game against the Tigers? We are still top four ffs.

 

[Parra Pride]

My take. But first to be clear I love Parra, but:

The top sides don’t lose that game

Rein and Kafusi are shocking.

That is our backup hooker, and yet we decided to let Mahoney go. Closest we've come to winning a comp in the last 40 years is because Jarryd Hayne decided he was going to spend half a season being the greatest player to ever touch the ball. We aren't winning shit in the near future.

 

[hineyrulz]

1 wooden spoon, 0 premierships, 0 prelim finals?

Those stats Pou will ignore.

 

[T-Boon]

Moses set up two tries ffs. He has set up 12 this year, twice as many as the next guy, including against better teams than the Tigers.

I am defending him bitch

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I’m not sure he comes out much better on those measures either.

Well he's won over half his games in his career, whereas he won 0% of today's games. Which matters more?

 

[EelsFan05]

Those stats Pou will ignore.

Not enough spoons for a good sample size.

 

[hineyrulz]

Pou does his best work after a loss, the club should pay him over time.
