Rd7: Eels v Knights GAME DAY THREAD in Newcastle 24/4/22

[Poupou Escobar]

f**king moneybags lol.

Merkin if I'd lost every bet this year I'd only be down $180. That's only $25 per week. You'd spend more than that on piss.

You could buy a cake and share it with the family

I don't want them to get type 2 diabeetus

In all honesty. F**ken terrible. Do we really not have any other halves at the club that should be ahead of him?

Funnily enough, a random Parra supporter I met at the pub today, said that BA cleared the decks of our halves stock for his son. I thought it was just talk, but when you think about it…

 

[Eelementary]

Agree. Once we are all fit I would prefer a pack like this

Jnr
Rcg
Lane
Marata
Matterson

Brown
Papali'i
Kafusi
Cartwright

I feel that's our best side. Having Marata means if injury we can cover someone in the backline.
Bryce brings some x factor and needs more game time. If we can get him going then he could be what we need come finals.
That bench would offer some real punch.

If someone in NSW cup steps up then sure put them in. Perhaps Hands, Yates might suprise as the year goes on. They both looks capable.

I love that pack, and bench.

The bench offers size, mobility, aggression, and skill.

Love it.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

There is in this case.
Most Eels fans think it is suspect and dubious that he is in the team.
Really the anger is at the coach, it just gets projected onto the player who does not deserve to be there.
He just does not deserve to be there. It is 100% nepotism.

I reckon he does deserve to be there. We are decimated with injury and he is next merkin up. He plays well in reserve grade and does his job in first grade.

Plenty of teams do that when they have promising youngsters coming through.

 

[Wally21]

He kept us on the game plan. If you had any idea about footy you'd see that.

You’re right, I have no idea about footy. I’m just a random keyboard warrior on a forum. Actually, I have slightly more idea than you my friend.

 

[IFR33K]

If you change his surname, he is a 19 year old, who is the last recognised uninjured back in our squad and has been called in to do a job when we were desperate. How did he go?

When we had no injuries or bugger all, he was on the bench. (Rnd 1).

Maybe so, but I know f**k all!

We certainly go better when he starts. Today was the blueprint.

You should go to bed. You lost $20. I was right and predicted a 40 point win. Now you bitter and making silly comments.
Go to bed, have a rest and come back fresh.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Reality is he did his job and you whingers are still whinging..

Yep, it's Groundhog Day again.

Well Will Smith and Salmon were both here and now aren't, both would have to be better options at 14 than young Jakey. Let's not forget how he was thrown into the top 30 a week before he was able to get a run as a development player. I wonder how quick little Matty is fast tracked into the top 30?? Like his bro in world record time i expect.

Love it.

Thats why we'll never see it

 

[hineyrulz]

Ummmmmm yeah promising.......... So where does Jakey fit into this conversation????

 

[hineyrulz]

Yep, it's Groundhog Day again.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

FFS are we coming last and lost today? Feels like it reading the last few pages…

we gave knights their biggest loss of the season even with a pretty decent injury crisis… and we played away!!

gee even panthers didn’t win like this with Ponga out and the Sharks didn’t either….

it was a f**ken great win!! Shows what we can do when we just complete high and limit our errors!!

I am happy!!

 

[Incorrect]

Best Antagonist post ever!!!

You've taken the title off..... Let me check my notes....

Well whaddya know.... Pou is the reigning holder!!

Well played Pou!

No most Eels fans with a stick up their asses you mean..

 

[Gronk]

I just finished watching the game and jumped on here.

Is the main talking point from this game really Jake Arthur ? Obsessed much ?

I reckon that Dylan did a great job vs Gagai out there, who was probably their only genuine threat.

Reg, Jnr, Matto, Pappa wow. Reedy was busy, but not as good as the commentators said.The bench provided punch and moses was given a wide berth to be creative. Good game by both wingers. Gutho strong.

Enjoy the win you dickheads. Happy Ortho Easter.
