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

[Avenger]

Makatoa is not a First Grader.

Penisini is an absolute star. Our most dangerous player in a badly outplayed side.

Moses was not able to take command today.

Lane continues to be lazy (his effort on that short drop-out was deplorable; he'd have to be up there as the tallest man in the NRL, and he made a half-arsed effort to play at the ball).

He's a plodder. I agree.

Most of the early ones were unsurprising.

Yeah tbh i have forgotten most of the bad ones from the 2014-2016 period we were a average/rebuilding team that had inconsistency and then had our salary cap scandal make the backend of that season redundant.

I reckon the worst ones have been more recently when we have had better squads and made finals but had horror losses along the way.

There were a few stinkers in 2018 and a certain game at Brookvale where i was on the hill in 35 degree heat comes to mind. Copping abuse from Manly fans all afternoon as well.

Even after todays frustation nothing will disgust me more then that horror show we dished up that day i will never forget it.

 

[Avenger]

Penisini was moved to wing a couple of weeks ago and his decision making was atrocious. Today was worse. Positionally he was an absolute disaster. Love the guy but its painfully obviously he aint no winger. Oppy would have been far better.

And he is a right side centre and he played him on the left wing.

 

[hindy111]

He's not a First Grade-calibre player.

Lol he is hopeless. Massive plodder. Id rather we give Greig game time and atleast he may turn into something. By finals he would have experience and be up to speed.

We weakened our centre and prop rotation by not giving Perham a shot.

I remember that shit show. The temp was well into the 40's. BA had the team warm up for over 20 minutes in the heat and we got bent over from the first second of the game.

Ah, the memories.

 

[hindy111]

Tigers could of beat the Storm. They should of beat the Titans and Warriors but blew both matches.
Very ordinary against Newcastle and Sharks. But in 4/6 games they have competed and been in it.
Probably not as bad as what media have drummed up.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Why the f**k would you put Perham and Rein on your bench before Cartwright and Greig? Seriously some of Arthur's selections are so f**king stupid when you consider he has been coaching for nearly a decade.

I rate Perham.

Giving Rheed some time off during the season will be a god send at the back end of the season.

Lol. Yeah I still think our two worse losses was in 2014. We only had to beat 1 of 2 garbage sides Knights or Raiders to play finals. They both blew us off the park inside 30mins....

Also a final against Storm where we embarrassed ourself. Was 28 -0 I think. A week after we flogged Brisbane.

He looked very disinterested and there were times he was just falling into tackles..that is not good enough.
3 players I'd be signing for nxt year.
Reece Robson
Briton Nikora
Josh Curran
These 3 would add so much to our team.
I'd be making enquiries and offers asap

We front loaded a little too early that day. Making them wear plastic ponchos was probably a bit much.

As I said earlier this week, they turned out to be much better with Hastings at 7 and Brooks at 6. Gary does it again. Hindy111 is shit.

This is how you use a bench......

Rest your Hooker around 30 mins. Bring him on for the last 25mins.....

Not throw Rein on when the games tense and 14 mins to go.

Anyhows it was an exciting game to watch. Tigers played well. We could of won in the end. Glad Tigers did. Deserved it more.


Gutherson and Mahoney need to step up. Both are putting in rubbish displays to often so far this season. Poor kicks and wrong options. Mahoneys being targeted by opposition and the little guy is struggling.

Easier said than done in reality given his importance to the results. If things aren't going well (which they weren't) and you need to chase points (which we did) then you don't want Mitch "I offer f**k all" Rein on the field.

The play with Gutherson taking the ball on the last and kicking it dead, while DBrown looked on, was classic Gutho trying to hard and overplaying.

They deserved it. We now can take a good look at ourselves.And BA can adjust his game plan

We were a better defensive team when Joey Lussick was our hooker.
