Rough list for Eels team for Kotro Cup

[PB]

I am sure HJ will come through with a more detailed report later bartman but basically we lost in the semi final again. Unfortunatly a combination of injurys, a wedding and alcohol took its toll and affected our finals charge. Plenty of young guys tried to fill in, but its tough when blokes can take three steps to your one and you are trying to keep up.

thanks for organising a good day though HJ.

Having the cheerleaders there would have distracted the team from trying to scores some tries. 8)

 

[bartman]

Semis is a good effort!

But that alcohol has a habit of catching up on everyone as the day goes by...

Just a quickie....

defeated reigning champs Canberra 7-1 in the first game, and probably thought we were shoe ins from there. Personally, after 3 hours sleep and a few beers I was gone after the first game, and struggled my ass off for the remaining 3. Wasn't much help to anyone after that, and was very disappointed in how I played, or didn't, for the rest of the day.

Newcastle beat us by 1 in the second game, I think 5-4. Don't know how we ended up losing that one, as we had it in our grip a few times.

Panthers beat us 7-4 in the third game, and we thought we were gone and not a chance of the finals.

Then the miraculous happened and Canberra (who had been flogged in their previous 2 games) beat Newcastle in the last game which left us, Raiders and Knights all on 2 points after 3 games. For and against went our way and we went through to the finals.

Came up against the Roosters in the sudden death semi and were holding them well in the first half. But like PB said, alcohol and general lack of health went against us and the roosters went on to the GF, where they defeated Manly in a highly controversial game and won the Cup.

I actually think a dodgy call against us which denied me a beautiful solo try 8) could have cost us that game. I actually thought this was a good game by us and if we had have snuck in against Manly may have won it, but alas......

PB was by far our best, I was way below how I played in the last 2 comps and George was once again fat and hairy. Seriously, what we need is another fast guy or 2 to really have a shot. If you are interested there will be another comp in late February for the Laurie Nichols Shield. All we had was PB, and while I am usually a good touch player I had little sleep for the week before hand and was for the most part quite useless on the day, lol.

Nevertheless, a good day had by all, thanks to Colonel and BD5733 for the cameos and everyone else for giving it a shot. We are now the only team to make the finals in all 3 comps so far, so at least we had something to smile about.

well played parra. you were one team which did not cause too much controversy.
although jesus are you saying my call was dodgy?
also congrats on beating us 7-1 though i can assure you all that the raiders are not a spent force and will be back better than even next year.
and jesus, our win wasnt a miracle. it was the first time we had our decent players on the paddock. we cruised through the game and i never thought we looked like losing.
see you guys at the next comp.

yeah the old "lets play honesty" trick when they didnt even get near me!

That would locked her up at 3-3 I think and its anyone's game from there.

lol, Pool A Wooden Spooners......hehehe that's funny

Sounds like the Eels. And I haven't done much smiling about them lately!! ;-)
Seriously, well done guys and gals. (and cheerleaders - I wanna know if Mystic was there with leotard and pom poms)!!

I might throw my hand in for the Laurie Nicholls Cup.
I think I'd be about his speed!

nah johnno.. as you said at the time the first two clearly missed you though you said only the third had a chance.
it looked to me that he got your pony tail, and of course you wouldnt have felt it if he did so you were always going to say he didnt get you.
my touchies werent much of a help so i played it on honesty. thats what we need to rely upon in comps such as this.
all the same mate i thought you guys looked good in the game and cant see how the roosters actually beat you. i think they were just too organised and composed on the day.

*seethes*

Apart from the fact that i completely screwed up my knee saving a try, so UNFORTUNATELY :roll: I was unable to show my complete lack of knowledge of anything even resembling a cheerleader. I was there, but only as a bad player on the field.

I'll try not to injure myself again next time... :?

I excused mysty from cheerleading responsibilities as her competitive edge was needed on the field. Usually when you have mixed touch, there can sometimes be an issue with male players touching female players too hard, but watching Mysty and her shoulder dropping action was reminding me of sitting on the hill at Parra watching Peter Johnstone blindside blokes! Some Fantastic shots. And then the dedication to chase a ball back and throw her body on the line in order to save a try. fantastic stuff.

 

[Jic Jarrett]

Don't know bout you guys, but my muscles are still killing me! And how the hell did I get sunburnt? I didnt help things by showing up drunk with BlueandGoldDust, but crap happens. Mind you, could have done without the post try celebration (the spew in the bushes, not the somersault). All systems go for the Nichols one in feb, great day and enjoyed it. :twisted:

 

[JessEel]

i'd put in an appearence but you know... :roll: only if i have to...

nah, i'd put my hand up to play, but despite having watched this game my whole life, frequent spectating does not give the spectator any actual skill!
