Round 23 Game Day Thread: Eels v Knights

[Poupou Escobar]

According to the NRL site we missed 43 tackles, but champion stats has 26. Which to believe

Champion Data every time

If Broncos can score another 100 points we'll be top 4.

Don't know what was worse tonight,
The off night from our boys,
The atrocious refereeing or the clueless comments from surrounding fans at the game.
I for the life of me have no idea at how poorly Perenara performs against us. Yes other teams cop it but not like the eels.
There was no animosity towards him will he played with us.
Does anyone have anything?

 

[hybrideel]

Kodos to the Knights? Bloody hell, now they'll be a powerhouse too.

Weren't they already promised powerhouseness when the Wests group bought them out

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Yeah we certainly tend to let our effort match our odds.

Bet more on us the higher the odds? Gotcha.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Mate, it's Friday night...........................

Sorry

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Vave and Terepo only played 33 minutes between them, which was odd.

Shit, you're right. Now they'll be unbeatable.

I like your thinking.... and there's another four points.

Vave and Terepo only played 33 minutes between them, which was odd.

I'd say Vave got hooked after his woeful performance at the start, or he got injured.

Terepo obviously just given the last 20.

Were essentially getting 2 x 80 min players out of 5 weak.players.

 

[hybrideel]

The knights being bought out was announced July 22 with Toddy giving them official powerhouse status. They have been undefeated since. Coincidence? I think not

 

[Eelogical]

Sorry

No wuckers. mate. Normally, I would be on fire after such a loss like tonight's. These days, I absorb it as 'it is what it is' and move on. In fact, I've enjoyed talking shit tonight as much as a 'win' night.

 

[hindy111]

Not worried.
We win next 3.
Some of you guys.are massive homos.
Just a game. We will bounce back.

 

[hindy111]

Hindy111 has spoken now all of you go to bed.

 

[hybrideel]

And while I'm on conspiracy theories its also no coincidence that Moses worst game for us comes straight after Sterlos kiss of death

 

[jk13]

I'm not trying to cause trouble but I found some footage of Henry's last holiday

I'm actually rather intrigued now to see what we deliver the next 3 weeks.

They're not weak, we just lack stars in the middle. Even Brown's tackle breaks and metres per carry aren't anything special.

Whatever it is it most likely will be via C section.......nothing natural.

Ultimately, having chilled out, really our issue was our errors and our application in attack.

We weren't genuinely awful. We were lazy and expected to just turn up and win without doing any hard work and we got stung. We also missed a genuine fullback, Smith was pretty poor and I would hope if French is to miss another game we go for Hoffman.

There are positives. Alvaro was outstanding, 51 tackles with 1 miss and 110m. Brown was beast mode in defence as well, 52 tackles and no misses (and 110m as well).

Get them focused again and we win again. There was enough there to win the game with the right application.
