I’m $463 richer!!!!

You should buy five schnitzzas!

 

[hineyrulz]

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

I’m just calling it as I see it, I thought he stepped back a bit when it got tough Dylan seemed to be everywhere.

Gutho played his best game in age, tough tough game from him.

 

[Angry_eel]

Need a shoulder bro?

Yes, come here you freeky SOB. Sorry that's the Copper Dog talking.

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

f**ken premiership favouritism baby!

 

[Happy MEel]

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

Yep. I like him. I reckon he’s a first grader.

 

[Bandwagon]

Matterson is a beast

......and he snapped Edwards legs off at the ankles with that step.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

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

Wow, great contest and forward battle - and great to come away with that result. Streakbreakers!

When May scored at 55mins, I thought we would fold. But great Eels effort and belief to come back into the contest, get in front, and hold on. All with 16 men (sorry Bryce) and two of the bench forwards used pretty sparingly.

And last minute two point field goals - what a f**ked idea they are anyway!

In many respects I totally agree, and consistency is something that has let us down for a long time.

But I don't think we're ever going to achieve the consistency of the Storm or the Panthers, but we can match them on any given day.

Last season, the Storm were as awesome and consistent as they've ever been, maybe their best regular season ever. But a grand final appearance alluded them.

This year we appear to be cognisant of the fact that just because you start the season hot doesn't mean you'll be firing at the end of the season.

We won't get consistency, we don't have that team. We just need to build, make sure we're Top 4 come seasons end, and be ready to go for 4 weeks to make it happen.

Can we do all that? That remains to be seen.

 

[The Phelan Folly]

Take the knock on try away and it was a comfortable win and well deserved. I’m blaming it all on the Arthurs.

 

[strider]

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

Were we underdogs or favourites tonight?

Seriously ... you are worried we will get confidence form this and it will go to our heads .... what the hell else should we have done? .... its a great win. BA and our leaders need to make sure we know it was awesome but keep working hard

 

[Avenger]

Our captain, Gutherson played his best game tonight. He was immense. Brown and Matterson however turned the game on it’s head and without them we wouldn’t have won. We also beat them with 15 players. We didn’t use our complete interchange again. Elkin has the boys very fit.

F**k off Bartman...Peanut.

 

[IFR33K]

Um you only watched the second half.

Both those plays he mentioned were the second half

 

[Happy MEel]

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.

I reckon the fact he’s not starting might hurt our chances of keeping him. He’s much more valuable to us than Nrown.

What a moron!

You are obviously back on the cans.

I aint worried. I'm a'ight.

Just suggesting that merkins who think we will kick on and become world beaters need some perspective.

Junior looks small next to his son and dannika

That was almost the cutest post-game interview ever.
