Round 14 Eels v Cowboys - Live Game day thread

[Bazal]

I think king isn’t physical enough (or works hard enough ) in defence for BA.

I think he's a quality bench player, and when he is asked to play 80 he struggles

Neither of the Cowboys tries that were ruled as forward were correct decisions. Neither were forward passes.
We were very lucky tonight.

If they called the one to French forward couple weeks back, those passes were 100% forward

It goes up no try, couldn't see any conclusive evidence it had clearly touched the line. Then the bunker which is another genius Toddy invention, gives a try, just gob smacking stupid.

It will get washed over, but it was an horrendous call.imagine if it happened to the Broncos or Rorters , wouldn't the media be up in arms.

Another fail for the bunker

Marata was excellent. Started slow but his second stint was huge.

Went from 5 runs for 35m to 10 runs for 102m

Yep some good post contact metres and better in defence. Might be because he was on the edge tonight which is more natural for him. Don't think he'll ever be a superstar but good signs improving week to week.

 

[Bazal]

f**king good scrum there!

Pack another here surely

 

[Gronk]

It was our turn for the 50/50’s tonight. About time too.

Running off Norman (and others) is a bit easier then running of Taumata!

If he can make 10m per run and 25 plus tackles most weeks he will be a very valuable first grader.

If he can learn to hit a hole, he will be much better

Yes true!! But the 2 tries they were awarded, weren’t tries! No way there was enough evidence to overrule the refs decision! So it even it out!

 

[El Diablo]

Alexander should be taken out the back and shot

f**ktard

 

[Dibs]

I like Hannah Hollis

Would like her more if she wasn't a queendlander

She’s not a qlder mate. Born in the NT grew up in Canberra and PNG attended boarding school in Melbourne. Hang on all those places are in Qld. Apologies

Feldt's was a try. Scott's wasn't.

Did you see conclusive evidence that Mat Scott scored to overturn the no try call ?

Didn't you see my earlier post about that?

He has a future in the top grade, I like what I see from him.

His very raw but he can become a very useful edge backrower.

His second stint was much better.

I thought you were all over this breaking news mang, Suity already said that was horseshit!

If he can start to learn to run a line, and continue similar stats with the ball, then Edwards kick off the bench is replaced straight away.

What has that got anything to do with incorrect decisions tonight?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Maybe, in my opinion there’s a fair chance it’s a try, but the ref said no due to him maybe running out and the put down.

Looking at the footage there was no clear evidence to show he definitely put it down (especially considering Jennings no try from the other week) or wasn’t out!

So the refs call shouldn’t have been overturned
