Rnd 2 vs Cowboys

[Poupou Escobar]

Well I was at mardi gras last week and apparently buggers can.

Don't worry mate. There's always next year. Maybe try a new 'do.

It would help if you lost Bart as your wingman

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He's such a c**k blocker.

Edwards man of match for me, this bloke is on a mission.

Wiling to give our attack more time to gel. Still bit rusty but that's to be expected.
Bit worried about Gutherson and what he has to offer. Is he quick? He just looks standard to me nothing flash but makes some errors. Jury is still out on him.

Overall a great result. Great defence!!! And we didn't play our best. And They are the best wins.

I hate the Bulldogs with a passion. Next Friday will be massive.

Who's finding fault with Paulo's game? I thought he was great tonight. Players like him always go better when his team gets more ball than the opposition. Against the Broncos we had 45%. Tonight we had 53%.

It was also good to see Paulo use his footwork and ball skills out wide. His ability to target smaller defenders is part of what makes him so dangerous.

I want to know which players go better when the opposition gets more ball than the team they're playing for.

I reckon Mannah needs to put the lost kilos back on. He was turned on his back often tonight. That rarely happened prior to this season. I think he has been dissappointing this year thus far. Maybe BA needs to have another of those talks to him. He was enormous last year. Lets hope hes a just a poor starter as we all know how good he can be.

I agree. Really getting dominated in the ruck with the ball in his hand.

David Gillespie.

 

[The EELiminator]

I don't think the commentators gave enough credit to our defence and aggressive defensive line.

it happens every single time they always go on and on about the opposition error count and poor options in attack but never give any credit to our strong defence that causes it :?

 

[Gronk]

Good result considering we have so far been unable to find both Semi and Jennings.

Weeks and Gutherson the weakest links. IMHO.

Not finding fault just sly little Pou like digs, and who doesn't look much better when they don't have as much defence to do genius????

Scott and Tamou were well handled, I'm sure they would have been much more dangerous with far less defence to do.

 

[Kornstar]

I agreed with Kornstar, who thought we'd lose by 20.

I can't tell you how good it feels to be wrong.

That defence was incredible! The amount of times we smashed Thurston with the ball was awesome!

Great team win!!!!

 

[Avenger]

Beau Scott is the ultimate professional. I thought he would be a bust but so far he has shown his immense quality and ability to play to a game plan.

Most quiet i have seen Thurston in a club game for years, our defence deserves a massive wrap. Scott lead the way he is the ultimate pest.

Scott has added plenty, something we have been missing since Morrison maybe?

Jennings was also great in defence last night.

 

[Stagger eel]

Not everyday you win ugly against the reigning premiers, I'll take it but I expect an ongoing improvement, particularly with our attack.

 

[hineyrulz]

We have a good record against the reigning premiers, 3rd year in a row we have knocked them off.

 

[Eelementary]

I want to concur with the praise for Scott - he's been immense.

 

[Eelementary]

Also, how great is it to have Kenny Edwards back? Love the bloke.

 

[eels_fan]

Scott just needs to work on his handling. 3 dropped balls not from collisions, just cold dropped. Apart from that he has been absolutely massive.

Edwards is making up for lost time.

We have to find ways to get Ma'u and Tepai running lines into gaps, not directly at defenders, but guessing that is more testament to the quality of the 2 teams we've played first up
