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

[Happy MEel]

Thats f**ken bullshit! Give the merkins heaps tomorrow.

Oh it’s on!!! It was 4Pines delivery method so I’ll be leaving them in no uncertain terms what I think of their new delivery method.

 

[Happy MEel]

Damn f**ken straight! Get the etching tool out now, merkins!

 

[Smug Panther]

Well done Parra but with this win you've locked yourself into having Hindy111 on board for the rest of 2022.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

After that game, I would sign dyl first before Moses

Na….Moses kicking kept us in the game, especially in the second half in the first 20 or so where the panthers constantly got us only getting 30 or so metres out each set….any lessor kicking game, we were gone …

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Well all those fans wanted was Brown back at 6.

Great to get Opacic back….

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Shit take. Moses was calm, a very mature and measured game.

Na we didn’t needs his kicking game…

 

[King-Gutho94]

What a win.

Its performances like these is why most of us get frustated with the tripe we dished last week or against the tigers.

We are the only team atm that could prevent a Melbourne v penrith grand final.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

We made 1697 m panthers 1624, however the panthers wingers / centres made 682 m ( happy to be corrected) of that compared to our 354……no wonder there middles have more energy for defence , better line speed…

We are definitely missing Blake / Sivo, they improve us in this area…

 

[Avenger]

Great to get Opacic back….

It's Opačić.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

In reality, that is our major issue. We have both a team capable of missing the Top 8 and a team capable of winning the comp all in one.

I think this probably describes up to half a dozen teams in a given year.

 

[eels_fan]

Maybe the secret is not training given 5-6 boys had the flu and didn’t train all week

 

[IFR33K]

It's Opačić.

He lives in Australia

 

[Avenger]

He lives in Australia

So? Even the would be PM changed the way he wanted his name pronounced.

 

[Chipmunk]

I think this probably describes up to half a dozen teams in a given year.

I think it describes Us, Roosters and Manly, who are all capable of winning the comp on a good day, Souths are a potential, but I don't think they're really capable this year. But all four could each miss the Top 8, although I think unlikely more than one would actually miss the Top 8, if any.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

All with 16 men (sorry Bryce) and two of the bench forwards used pretty sparingly.

After nine years Arthur's still doesn't know how to use his bench ffs!!!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

That should be the only option unless either of our halves are injured. It’s as simple as that. You don’t play with your spine.

The way Drown plays he could slot in anywhere on the edges. He's shown that already this year.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It didn’t make a difference at all either

His defence was phenomenal and running was excellent as usual, much like Penisini.

 

[Gronk]

Good morning. Same vibe.

Some sets their forwards weren't getting the ball till over halfway, they did the same thing to Canberra but we showed far more resilience and managed to turn the tide.
