Rumours and Stuff

[EelsFan05]

As far as being able to get to the game, that's is the worst draw ever....

 

[84 Baby]

So we probably need to win 5 more games to assure top 8. I can see 6 winnable games right there

Yep shit draw for us punters but for the club itself it's a good ole fashion 'dream run' .... I'm happy to put up with the Friday and Thursday M4 nightmare and the $15 parking for an advantage on the field...those merkins better not let us down

Of our last 9 rounds we play a top 8 team 3 times, broncos twice and storm before origin.
Our 6 other games aren't a walk in the park though dogs twice, souths, titans and tigers all have good players. If we cant beat the knights we don't deserve top 8 i dont care if we win the other 8 games.

I can see us beating the storm and broncos once and hopefully 4/6 of the non-top 8 teams meaning winning 6 more games plus 2 byes and we finish on 32 points probably middle of the 8 (4-6)

In all seriousness is the jarryd hayne factor the only reason why eels titans is on a Thursday night. What a dumb decsion.

Be lucky to get 8k there that night.

I will be there.

Will be harder for a lot of other people.

 

[parra-matters]

not one saturday game in it, so no games for me this year then.
why would you put a game v Newcastle on Friday night at 6pm? Do they not want people in the stadium?
Same with titans on friday night? titans already low attendance game for us.

 

[T.S Quint]

Well, at least I'll have my weekends free.

 

[hindy111]

We go into all 9 games able to win all 9. But i reckon our team could lose 7 of them also.

No easy games in NRL with our team we wont blow teams away. We are also on thin ice player wise.
No hooker , Scott gone. Any news on Terepo and Frank?

I think ch9 is dying to see Hayne V Eels after he was injured last time. The fri 6pm games are usually the least appealing fox games.

 

[T.S Quint]

I can see us needing to win our last game to make the Finals...and then f**king it up.

Again.

That's a good draw with only 1 team in top 8. In reality we should win 6 of our last 9 games and finish on 32 points and have a positive F&A, unless the wheels really fall off (which they have done in the past).

 

[hineyrulz]

30 points should make us safe, if we can't win 5 from 9 with that draw we don't deserve to be in the finals anyway.

 

[T.S Quint]

I just want to beat the Dogs twice.

Finals are just a bonus.

I have warriors ,panthers,saints,manly all finishing on 30 points. With cowboys on 28.

The current top 4 wont miss a spot.

Hey, Muz... drive over here (less traffic) and free bus to all the home games... easy!!

I think i spotted you on Windsor Rd last Sunday waiting for the bus..

Panthers need to win 7/10 to be on 30 points and they are very much a middle of the road team at best. I see them winning more then 4-5 games this year. They just got beaten by a cowboys side with a very clunky attack.

I think the 8 seed will be on 28 or 30 points and 9 on 28 or 26. Im certain 30 points is safe

 

[BoneyBlake17]

Our f/a means we have to win one extra game then everyone else.

But 30 pts should be fine especially with raiders and penrith slipping up yesterday as i think that was 2 pts both teams would have been banking on.

Means 5 wins from last 9. And if we can't do that with the draw we have then we don't deserve to make the finals.

At Northmead shops with the family around 2pm?
Would have been me.

 

[emjaycee]

I have 32 points being the cut-off given that I dont see Tigers and Knights taking too many points off other sides for the rest of the year.
I give Penrith 6 more wins at most because don't see them beating Manly (twice), Dragons or Cowboys.
