Rd8: Eels v Dogs GAME DAY THREAD @ Stadium Australia 1/5/21

[Bandwagon]

His strength at the moment is defense ... so put him at fullback where he will do almost none of it .... gutho is a shit hot fullback - no way we move him

Drown is actually playing a very good first receiver .... admittedly all he needs to domis catch and pass, but he is doing it well and helping backline movements to flow

I think Drown's problem is concentration ... dropping balls is just lazy and lack of attention to detail ..... i wouldnt drop him - just give him a good talking to

Absolutely, we look far slicker when Drown moves into first receiver on the left and digs into the line a bit, as opposed to Rheed's long pass out to Moses.

The long pass cuts out defenders, but Drown digging into the line commits them.

getting ready for next weeks AMBUSH

Hopefully the Chooks are complacent after the ambush they're putting on the Knights right now.

Having just finished watching it. It was the Tigers game all over again. If we treated them like they were a Scum or Smugfers. We’d have deadset put 80 on them. We put the cue in the rack with 60 minutes left on clock. Nrown injury sucks. Doubly because we’re probably now without Papa for something that shouldn’t have even been penalty.
Gough, even though he managed Dogs back into game, is possibly my favourite ref

 

[chiefy1]

Drown , can't seem to command the ball as mitch and gutho dominates

He can't really get into the game and then make dumb mistakes

Gutherson was also playing reserve grade at age 20, of course he's not going to be anywhere near Gutho or Moses at this stage but his defense is better than 99% of all 20year old five eights.
Everyone needs to lay off the kid. he 100% deserves to be part of this team on defense alone.
His line runs will improve dramatically as he gains strength. He'll be a devastating 5/8 in 18 months

 

[Bandwagon]

You reckon they'll name Keary and Cordner?

Watching them now I don't reckon it matters all that much if they do or don't.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Keary, Cordner and probably bloody Fittler as well!!

 

[Gazzamatta]

So has Brthur banned the offload?

 

[T-Boon]

Yes true. Maybe Drown to centre?

Couldnt hurt to try him there. Will Smith is as good at 5/8 so can cover there.

He should be judged on how much he's paid

 

[Lethal]

Browns done ACL...

We've been ordinary since 20th minute. It should be 30-0

What a dopey post. Typical Penrith dope who confuses hip’s to knee’s.

Hip pointer for Nathan Brown, mechanism looks non-contact but collision to hip prior to this would have caused the damage. Effectively is a bad cork to the point of the hip. Looks a lot worse than it is, usually worst case 2-4 weeks. Some even able to return within a week

Just saw the incident in the tackle b4 Nrown went down. Dog lifted knee into Nrowns hip on contact. Looks nasty but could have been worse if he got him in The Jatz Crackers. Might hear more from this.

Thanks. It’s why you were the only poster I didn’t put on ignore while I watched the game

 

[Noise]

Gutherson looks like he would kill it in the halves as well.

This.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Drown doesn't play as well when we score an early try. He prefers when we have to come from behind.

Which one?

I suspected that might be the case.
