Rd9: Eels v Panthers GAME DAY THREAD at Bluebet Stadium 6/5/22

[yy_cheng]

Seriously, I would go

1. Russell
6. Gutho
7. Drown

for the future. Will need to find a kicker though

 

[Wally21]

JT loves us

He f**kin does! Love JT f**king legend!

 

[strider]

Well all those fans wanted was Brown back at 6.

So did BA

 

[IFR33K]

Charged down kick. Dumb blind side play at end almost cost us game.... He was solid. But not great

Kik was pressuring him all night. When he got the charge down they were all over us.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Meh. You gotta get confidence somewhere

Not us. It quickly turns into complacency. We are brilliant underdogs and shit favourites.

 

[hindy111]

Penrith get so many meters from the back 3. The forwards are then fresh and just smash you in defense. Their attack isn't Storm like.

 

[Bandwagon]

But we're shit too because we scored from a kick and good teams don't concede tries from kicks

Yeah but only shit teams score tries from kicks.

 

[Gronk]

Charged down kick. Dumb blind side play at end almost cost us game.... He was solid. But not great

Um you only watched the second half.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

Haha now you guys are the shit ones!

I don’t think we are shit. played quite well but Parra played better.

We had to lose at home sometime and I am glad it happened like this; a good team turning up and taking it from us rather than us turning in a shit performance and giving it away.

Anyways; enjoy the win. You deserve it!

 

[Gary Gutful]

In some ways true, but also there is more to it.

If Panthers were off their game, I'd say, yeah we got them on a bad night. But I feel that Panthers came with everything and we withstood that.

Dont under estimate our ability to even better to be able to match and counteract their run hard, tackle hard, with Niukore and Sivo (and Waqa) on the field come finals times.

We just need to make sure we turn up in enough games for the remainder of the season to get ourself in that Top 4. We've proved we can come with the game to match the Panthers and the Storm. We just need to do it when it really matters. That is still the big question.

Until we learn to be consistent I'll enjoy it for what it is and lay off making any bullshit predictions about our season.

 

[strider]

Not us. It quickly turns into complacency. We are brilliant underdogs and shit favourites.

So we should have lost then? .... peanut

I’m pretty sure you’ve now received the curse.

 

[hineyrulz]

Best on ground for me. BEAST

Should be our starting 13, also need to re-sign him ASAP. Papa was immense tonight and showed he will be a loss next year.

 

[Gronk]

Yeah real composed on that blind side play with 4 mins to go, horrible ball that got the Riff back into the game.

You’re trying hard to ne negative even after such a great win. Sit back and smile mate.

 

[yy_cheng]

I like the way Makatoa tackles thou. He stops them dead and wraps the ball up.

But then so did alvaro

 

[strider]

Which peanut said Gutho never stands up and helps us win big games?

 

[Wally21]

Should be our starting 13, also need to re-sign him ASAP. Papa was immense tonight and showed he will be a loss next year.

100% brother!!!

 

[blue bags]

I think the Panthers wingers try his legs was out

 

[Gary Gutful]

What part of brilliant underdogs and shit favourites don't you understand you complete f**ken Oatley Peanut.

Were we underdogs or favourites tonight?

 

[Gronk]

On the plus side we can use some of his coin that we didn’t pay him for Penisini. How good is he going !
