Rd9: 6pm EELS v Knights GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank Stadium 28/4/23

[Gazzamatta]

He is the new Jarryd Hayne without being a convicted rapist.

Paid on potential but delivers SFA.

He was poor.

 

[84 Baby]

Do the other Knights just really hate Kalyn?

 

[King-Gutho94]

He was poor.

Exactly like hayne at club level.

Turns up once every 6 weeks but turns up for origin.

Newcastle should have punted him

 

[King-Gutho94]

Guths first hattrick for the club. Well done to an outstanding player!

Scary thing is he could have scored 6 tonight and taken Jamie Lyon off the record books.

 

[84 Baby]

Done the maths, depending on if Dolphins and Roosters can make up differential in their games, and evening out byes, we’re actually 8th. Which seems silly.
Also if everyone has byes, why bother giving competition points for them

 

[King-Gutho94]

How bad must those other 12 coaches be whose teams have worse points differential than us. Learn to coach for 80 minutes you useless merkins.

One less win we have to grab to make finals.

Where else would tigers get two from?

 

[Wally21]

Yeah he was but in a game where Knights were garbage and Makatoa looked sensational.

For sure. However I think he deserves another week on the bench to see if he can back it up

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Great performance tonight it was like they went a thousand miles more than the previous game. The attack was brilliant, basically everyone stepped up tonight. I'm proud of the boys tonight. I wasn't too confident with RCG then Matto out but wow some of the players like Ogden and Makatoa stepped up, Greig and Hopgood were outstanding.

Gutho can't do no wrong outstanding probably shouldve had 5 tonight but great to get a hattrick.

Great start to the weekend, and a nice early birthday present. Thanks lads

 

[EelsFan05]

Greig and Hopgood were really good. Even Jnr was thinking run before pass. I'm not a Carty fan, but he had another good game. Putting together a very nice season

Gutho could have had six meat pies and was involved in everything. Saved two tries right on the line as well.

We didn't score 80 tonight, sack BA. Trying to get ahead of the narrative this week.

 

[King-Gutho94]

O'Brien's presser was embarrassing if your a knights fan.

Basically accepted a piss weak performance.

Sums up the culture up there.

I agreed. He dribbled his way through it, head in hands, mumbling garbage.

Just watched it... He really sounds like he wants to be everyone's friend. Almost like he's hoping if he answers cordially, he might get a free ride in the media....

Here's a tip Adam, Ricky Stuart talks to all journo's like shit apart from his cronies Kent, Hoops and Crawley. It's not about how you answer their questions, it's knowing which journo's have the biggest mouth's. Those blokes in the pressers don't hold much sway....

 

[JokerEel]

O'Brien Started ok at the Knights but has been going backwards. He is their problem till the end of 2024..

Once he gets axed he will be our problem.

BA will give him a lifeline being best mates.

AOB is Jake's godfather i think

They honestly need to f**k Ponga off. They're a tougher, more honest hard to beat side without him.

 

[Soto]

Great performance tonight and I'm not kidding saying it could've and should've been 70.
Greig is getting better and the more we can keep him playing longer minutes the better.
This was Makatoa's best game for us. He was immense. Not the biggest fan but credit where credit is due.
Sivo when he puts his foot down can really motor...just doesn't have the endurance.
Moses needed inside ball to Gutho and its a try under the posts. Guth has been by far our best and most consistent player this year.
Penisini is a young bull. Powerful and quick. When he was cutting the Knights to pieces in the 1st half where was Dunster?
Hodgson was better tonight especially in his first stint but overplayed his hand in his second stint.
Very perplexing that Doorey got no minutes yet the game was in the bag by halftime.
Would've just taken Lane or Carty off and let Doorey punch holes through the feeble defensive line.
Have we turned the corner? Not sure but pleasing nonetheless to have a great win and head into a weekend with a smile after destroying the Knights.
Also good to see the F&A head into positive territory.
Lots of empty seats around us tonight but 6pm Friday night really is a woeful start time.
Just bring a 2nd NZ team in with a 8pm Friday night kickoff over there and that sorts out the 6pm start time...
Alternate Friday nights warriors and let's just say hypothetically the Waikato Tigers and we are sweeet bros

He kept resting his chin or head in his hand, never seen a coach look as lazy or uninterested at a presser (Uncle Wayne aside)

 

[King-Gutho94]

Just started watching a replay.

We have copped Blocker 3 weeks in a row on Fox like seriously.
