Rnd 3 V dogs

[forward pass]

Fox just showed the 1998 semi final again. f**king unbelievable.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

You obviously don't work in the gaming industry.

No. But last week I genuinely thought we'd lose by about 20. This week I'm just being superstitious.

Cheers for the weather reports but got stuck at work so would've got to Sydney right in the middle of peak hour traffic so have headed home to watch in comfort on tv and with a few ales. Bring it home guys!!!! Wish I was there

Look, if we are on our game and have started ironing out our weaknesses and improving attack at the same time then we are in with a great chance. Nobody can predict if we are going to have one of those shockers we have been renowned for but that's where belief in an improved roster comes into play, so to speak. I believe we will be very competitive in this one and I will only be proven wrong with the benefit of hindsight.

I might well agree with all that but I just don't wanna tip us to do well given what I tipped last week and how well that worked. Don't break my jinx. It's for the greater good.

Just as an aside I bought the DVD set "The Essential Eels" which features some of the best Eels wins over the past 30 years dating back to the two finals wins v the dogs in 83. Def worth it at around $30. includes the famous Guru senior try in the semi when he beat 6 doggies defenders. Perfect for Easter

Don't worry. The Eels aren't going to win or lose because you tipped one way or the other. :lol:

It's about mental strength and intestinal fortitude as much as ability tonight. If we are tougher than them then we should win. These are the games where, playing or not, the influence of watmough and Foran make a difference.

Go you good things.

Well of course not. You'd have to be an idiot to think so. I just don't see a compelling reason to test that.

Anyone know what the yellow shorts are for? Hard to see them from the birds nest the doggies have stuck is in...

Agreed. I'm not interested in just being competitive anymore. We have a good roster and coach ( unless anyone disagrees). I want to see a deserved victory. They are no better than us.

That intestinal fortitude is a great saying. It could make all the difference.

Suity

I think we finally hav a forward pack that can match it with the dogs in terms of mongrelness, I'm expecting a physical grind of a game tonight

Forwards have easily been our best so far. Very impressive. I'm hoping Kenny runs amok. But also hoping Jennings and Semi can combine well.

Yellow shorts are a joke..........

 

[phantom eel]

Let's smash these merkins!

We've finally got a competitive squad, and a deserved win could lay the plaform for our season.

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Come on Parra, gotta get one over the dogs, been ages.

 

[strider]

Yellow shorts.... oh dear

 

[Parramatta1947]

We look like Minions........
