Round 23 Game Day Thread: Eels v Knights

[strider]

Dunno but drain cleaner has the added advantage of clearing stubborn blockages.

Yeah but rat poison might kill off any lurking rodents

 

[84 Baby]

Everything we could do poor we did poor.

WE DIDNT f**kING WIN POORLY!

P.S that's right, even knowing f**king was going to be autoed to lower case, I still took the time to capitalise it

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Very good

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Knights have a record of 23 straight losses away from home. Just sayin'.

It sucks coming up against records like that.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

f**ken disgusted!!
Trust us to lose our plus for / against playing the side coming last !!

Now they're coming second last.

 

[84 Baby]

Suck shit tigers

 

[Chipmunk]

Now they're coming second last.

We were pretty woeful against the team they replaced as well. Lucky win

Semi going overseas, French rested (sort of). This had all the makings of complacency.

Na, mate. It's an inherit part of the Eels bloodline. Doesn't matter how much they pontificate on about it, there will always be games in our season where we lose the unlosable games. It comes with the territory. You bought into it, ............now love it until you die.

We needed a loss before the finals imo... but not in that manner... a close loss where we were just beaten by a better team in an intense match... expected that to come in 2 weeks vs the broncos...

The result and moreso the attitude and effort tonight were concerning. The boys are clearing believing their own press. Complacency absolutely in overdrive.

BA would be filthy, but also needs to take his own share of the blame. A performance that bad he must have seen coming based on training this week, I don't think you can train well and then perform that flat...

Suck shit tigers

Yep.

You'd never see the Storm, Roosters, Cowboys, etc. dish that sort of performance up with a top 4 finish on the line.

Two of those sides got belted last week.

It sucks coming up against records like that.

Stats can do that to us at times.

 

[Eelementary]

Two of those sides got belted last week.

Yeah, fair point.

I'm just at a loss - why does this club do this every year?

It's weird.

We needed a loss? I'm sure BA would like you along at this weekends friendly team BBQ as a guest speaker.

 

[Snoochies]

Brad in the presser pretty much said they were good and we were shit.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Actually reckon they haven't been that great!! Have given us a few chances

Not many. I reckon the Knights have been great.

 

[Chipmunk]

When you look at it, perhaps our six wins in a row gave people an incorrect impression of how well we really playing.

We've beaten the Dogs twice, who have won 2 games in the last 10 and are clearly performing worse than anyone, we beat the Dragons who have been on the slide for a couple of months, we beat the Storm with no Origin players and we were lucky to beat the Tigers in a close one that we didn't deserve to win.

On the other side of the scale, we were great against the Broncos, but one performance certainly doesn't make you a contender.

Interesting to see what we bring the next 3 weeks. I'll be happy with one more win for the season.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I think we've got more to offer.

We will probably bounce back from this next week.

 

[hindy111]

Your reputation is of a trolling f**kwit, honestly just f**k off to the Penrith forum you Mr -8.5

They may be higher in power rankings come monday morning.

 

[Snoochies]

As long as Hayne doesn't get a win against us.
