Round 26 - Parramatta Eels v South Sydney Rabbitohs GAME DAY THREAD

[yosemite]

Cameron King is bog ordinary and have never rated him....zero impact out of dummy half, missed tackles, slow .

Bring back Kaysa!

 

[Bazal]

We should look the better side we are playing a reserve grade quality team.

We play like this against a top 4 team we're down by 20z

Finals are a different game mate.

Anyway we're not winning the comp this year, IMO we've overachieved comfortably. I shudder to think what this place will look like when the inevitable happens in the next few weeks

 

[Chipmunk]

Let's see what we can do for the last 40 minutes.

If we just run hard and tackle hard we'll win. We just have to get it done.

 

[Bazal]

Anyway, moving on to the second half....we're already beating them up the middle, we just need to focus on building pressure. Dominate possession, get repeat sets, attack the edges and hold the f**king footy.

I agree, I haven't rated us all season.

BA has done a brilliant job, our pack isn't good enough and have we have shown tonight we aren't still mentally up to it yet.

A year or two away from being a premiership threat.

Have we really overachieved? Our roster is pretty good. Most teams would kill to have the like of Jennings, Radradra, French, Gutherson, Norman,Moses, Brown on their books.

 

[hineyrulz]

We've won 26 of 15 when leading at halftime!

I like the look of that stat.

 

[Bazal]

It's bullshit but

How can you win 26 out 15 games? At best you win 20 out of 15

How do you rate the Roosters?

A few weeks ago they only just won against the tigers who are below Souths!!

It happens!! This side is a work in progress!!

 

[The Phelan Folly]

Meh. You merkins get all upset, but tonights tactic is called playing within yourselves . There's no point firing all our guns this close to the semis, so the team is playing witin itself. Its a tactical masterpiece designed by BA to lull our finals opponents into a false sense of superiority.

We haven't overachieved or underachieved IMO. Once we got Moses we were top eight certainties, which is where we'll finish. Top four was a chance, like it is for any genuine top eight side. But if we scrape into the top four it doesn't mean we're a genuine top four side.

 

[Captain BF]

No Edwards yet and Brown taken off early. Odd to change the game plan in round 26.

Lol WWE on after the real wrestling tomorrow. Melbourne v Canberra

But how many times has all those guys been on the field at the same?
With all those guys on the field we are a very good side but it ha rarely happened this year.

Given our roster, and importantly the BALANCE of our roster, yes, we've overachieved. Quite a bit IMO.

To put it in context, if we manage a win tonight, we will have equalled the number of wins with which we won the minor premiership in 2005. We've definitely overachieved. And hopefully we continue to do so.

I would say we have the second best backline in the NRL (after Melbourne), two classy halves and a pack that can hold its own against most teams. I wouldn't say there a many teams that have a better roster this year so hopefully we finish in the top 4 as we should.

 

[Bazal]

Edwards made a try saving tackle earlier. I thought it was a great effort, but it's an even better one if he hasn't got on the field!

 

[Snoochies]

Putting up 50+ points last week had expectations very high this week.

I rate them a chance mate, but we are all miles of the Cheats this year.

 

[hineyrulz]

Gee whiz poor start.
