Round 14: v Titans - Game Day Thread

[natheel]

Tough win from the boys. But still putting ourselves under pressure. We look more comfortable defending our own line than we do attacking theirs at the moment though.

O'Beien did well on debut dug his heels in and defended well and got a good offload away

Gordon played his best game for us

Gutherson looks comfortable at centre. Really starting to like this kid

Norman started slowly but showed his class again

Pritchard probably had his break out game hopefully. Our attack gets more upbeat when he's on. He's the future hooker of the club

French still very small evident by being taken out but other than that showed real class in his second game

Well done boys

The silence is deafening.

Mate that many of us have you on ignore that if Bart couldn't read your posts with his binoculars through your front window none of use would even know you'd posted it

Chatted to a couple of players this morning and even after the Titans went up 8-0 they werent worried. Put the 2 tries down to a hail mary pass and a lucky tap back off a kick. Never felt their line was in danger of being breached.

I really liked how kenny made a big deal out of encouraging French when he made a good tackle.

He's a legend kenny

I think the Club has moved on to 2017 already, so yes I think us fans should do the same.

Haven't you heard? Next year's a write-off, too. Possibly '18 and '19 as well. 2020 we start the rebuild...

Wicks was outstanding

Even more appallingly, 2UE have been running with it on every news bulletin this morning.

"The Eels first win since the salary cap scandal started" they keep saying.

2GB running it on their 12pm news too......

Hopefully he can rope a few more opposition players into his celebrations before the year is out. That's always good.

I heard "BEVOOO!" come booming in from one of the sideline mics after the tackle and wondered who it was but it came as little surprise that the replays showed it was Kenny Edwards that was hollering about French's hit.

I love what Kenny is about. Legend.

Yvonne Sampson said it on the Sunday Footy Show too

:crazy:

Apparently the club advised AAP who updated their article but i guess the lazy media outlets cannot be bothered. Typically quality journalism.

 

[hindy111]

Well besting newcastle is not realy a win i guess

 

[Avenger]

Peats wouldn't be a happy camper. Playing second fiddle at 9 and playing plenty of backrow.

 

[hineyrulz]

Kenny Edwards is a champ.

 

[Avenger]

Kenny Edwards is a champ.

I think he is approaching Origin level. And Mau has been amazing for us too. What a discovery Peter Nolan did for us here.

 

[emjaycee]

Or at the stage of at least trying to salvage something from this year with the hope of building for next year.

If we lose Paulo to Canberra I would be keen bring the big dude Rory O'Brien up and see what he offers.

Yep. Good call Barry. O'Brien the missing link.

Sorry Baz, i called for Rory for the Newcastle game. BA just got the mail late.

At one stage when Gordon was lining up a penalty kick (I think it was the last one), one of the Titans must have been remonstrating with the ref (out of shot), because Edwards was in the shot, facing the direction of the Titans players, throwing those wide armed it's-unfair-ref shrugs. Such a shit stirrer.
