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

[Eelogical]

Very bog one

He's starting to believe his own hype.

 

[Eelogical]

Hopefully we'll get some refereeing blunders to make this a bit more exciting.

You might regret this post.

Matto should have the passing game to play like Brown but I bet jnr will play that role

 

[Bandwagon]

Very simple message at half time, be patient and we’ll win by 40

I reckon we've been patient enough, haven't really pushed the pass but for a coupla occasions, just haven't really iced it.

They'll tire, and it will open up in the last twenty.

Gutho

182m
2 tries
9 tackle breaks
2 line breaks

would be a great performance in 80mins of footy.

 

[Eelogical]

Mahoney playing well, just shading Gutho.

Browns done ACL...

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

Damn, looks like we get to see how much we might miss Nrown.

A good bit I expect. We have spares though. His wind up runs, although stopped readily, sap a lot of energy out of the defenders. His offloads are mostly not too risky as in the Feliti style. I rate him a bit more than a few others around here.

It’s a hip injury.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Boys just going through the motions....dogs aren’t looking like scoring and boys really are taking it easy, lack of energy.....

Probably not bad as long as we win, long season

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Not good to see Brownie to down fingers crossed for the best possible news. NOW FIRE UP BOYS AND PUT EM TO THE SWORD!!!

Dyl Brown is still a conundrum to me.

he has buckets of talent but I just don’t see any progression from him, and when he’s got John’s working with him weekly that for me is disappointing.

Shaun Lane is f**king shit

Not having a good one but he needs to step up in the 2nd half.

Have done an acl, don’t think it is (but could be wrong) there was no twisting of the knee, so pretty difficult for it to snap. Additionally his walk of the field didn’t show restricted knee mobility

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Looking more likely Lane is going to be the forward dropped when Blake is back....

 

[hindy111]

Our issue is we should of kept rolling on and killed them. We tried to score on 2nd tackle or silly short side stuff on last. All we needed to do was play our set and attempt to force a drop out. Starve them of the ball for another 5 mins and it was game over. Run in 2 or 3 tries.
We rarely play for a drop out. Even handing them the ball 2 mtrs out is fine. How far will they get? Kicking inside the 40. We'd be back on the attack y end of our set.

He's been left in the stalls

He’s overrated. Defence is great but as absolutely nothing in attack

His best plays seem to be in the dunny.

Napa out for dogs

Bad news for us ... cos he is literally the dumbest merkin in the NRL - you want him on the other team
