Rd8 2024: Eels v Manly GAME DAY THREAD @ 4 Pines Park April 26

[Gherkin]

Harper is a worse athlete than Lussick

BA extension surely

I think a Pou extension is in progress, as he thinks about the posts he'll get to make on here after a loss...

 

[Delboy]

Just felt that as usual Sutton gets a bit of panic when the home crowd gets loud, what was the penalty count in the second half, 8-0. He does it frequently so not surprised.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Yeah there should be a discussion about BA….but gee tonight the effort was there! Happy with that!!

So close yet so far….8 to nil penalty count against us in the second half plus 20 mins with only 12 players!!

add to some of the most selfish, stupid individual stuff I have seen in a long time!! Some really stupid shit!!

But happy with the effort, not the result

 

[lucablight]

wtf???

Just messing with you mate. I’m the same as you.

we havent helped ourselves... lots of dumb unnecessary shit

 

[Chipmunk]

The effort was there....at times.

At other times not so much and we just looked disinterested.

Quite a few dumb efforts by quite a few players there in the second half.

I don't think we really looked like winning from about 5 minutes after half time though.

Handy if we could kick a conversation once in a while.

We've defintelty used up all our motivated efforts and didn't get a result for it. We're not capable of lifting two games in a row, so I expect us to have our arses torn a new one in the next two matches now any how.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

still can’t get over that dumb merkin Sivo

 

[the phantom menace]

This ain’t it. The eels were the only team that didn’t get a bye for origin last year. Including the freaking warriors. Numerous suspensions and injuries. Dylan brown deciding to be a sex offender. And even with all that stacked against the eels they only missed the finals by ONE win

Yeah, I haven't been swayed by the excuses. What I saw us produce was a level below the season before, and the players that left the squad after the grand final were replaced by inferior ones.

And this year the performances speak for themselves... it's time BA.

 

[eels4life87]

Not going to lie sometimes I do feel like a curse. All those wins in the 80s and then once I’m born they haven’t won it since

Just messing with you mate. I’m the same as you.

 

[eels_fan]

Not far off I'd say!

Close but no cigar

 

[Delboy]

Matterson, Brown, Gutho didnt deserve to be on the losing team

if this game was played in the same conditions as last week... we get blasted

 

[the phantom menace]

I’m glad RCG would die for BA. Great stuff

 

[DaveMc]

I’ll give BA some credit - he was right to call out the team as being part-time footballers. They doubled down to prove him right again tonight.

 

[eels_fan]

If we let Sivo get on the team bus, our management are weak gutted dogs

 

[Zoso]

Effort was there, which was pleasing. I think it was four tries a piece (?) until that dumb f*ck Sivo got himself sinbinned.
Can forgive Penisini’s binning.

 

[blue bags]

I will always bleed blue and good but good lord I have a lot of heartache supporting them. My username says 87 because that’s the year I was born. I have never seen a premiership win by the eels ever and I’m 37

The only shining light is that Mitch Moses is due back in three games

Don't worry the tide Will turn

 

[JokerEel]

Yeah so neither Hands or Lussick are first grade hookers...

 

[Noise]

Harper is a worse athlete than Lussick

I’ve never seen such a physically weak and slow outside back
