Team List Tuesday - Week 2 finals - Eels v Panthers (and Ivan)

[Gazzamatta]

Fun fact. Last week was the first time since round 10 To’o didn’t reach 200m plus. He got 196m.

They’ll certainly miss his strong carries.

Naden to score 3. Lol.

 

[Tooooks]

Naden to score 3. Lol.

That would not surprise me.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Naden to score 3. Lol.

That's possible, but I think there's no chance he makes 100m just from hit ups. To'o is the second most important player in their team. Massive loss for them.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Although I just had a look and Naden made 99 metres from hit ups web we played them in Penrith ffs. To'o made 131.

 

[Avenger]

Say what you want but how f**king good s it that we are in the semis again?

I remember when we were struggling a few years ago and we'd be done by 3/4 of the season and have to rely on other results and hypotheticals to make the semis.

I’ll ask you how good it is in 10 hours….

I'm more relaxed with our team and where we are at. I've had an epiphany. We are on the up.

Mr Handshake is a big loss but there is always the "Fergo Factor" regardless of whos on that side. Fingers crossed Will P communicates with him. Maybe even threaten him is more appropriate.

It's not so much To'o scoring tries on the left that is the danger. When a team creates an overlap any winger will score tries and his opponent will look like a f**kwit. The real danger of Brian To'o is how well he starts their sets. They are a very difficult team to pressure because they get out of their half so well. To'o is the key to that.

Merkin	PCM per game
To'o	92.0
Daylight
Louganis	75.1
AFB	75.0
Haas	74.3
Tupou	68.7
Klemmer	66.7
Fusitu'a	64.2
Maumalo	62.7
Oates	62.5
Vaughan	61.8

We have no trouble handling opposition packs, but To'o carves our forwards up every time we play them:

To'o vs Parra	Total metres	Hit up metres	Winner
R11 2019	200	125	Panther
R5 2020	136	31	Eel
R18 2020	208	154	Panther
R16 2021	246	131	Panther
R25 2021	226	104	Panther

So we have been able to limit his impact in the past (the one time we beat him) but maybe we only won because he was off his game? Either way, Crichton is also capable of big metres now that he's on the wing, so this game still won't be easy. And that's why we're still paying $4

If enough eels fans like this silly post, I will enter the field of battle tonight and give the Panthers hell.

If not, I will swing over to smug.

My claim to eels fame is meeting Peter Wynn a few times.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

recognise this stadium lads?

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

This touch judge is clearly off side. Where’s the bunker when you need it?

This is something Bennet raised in private but Ivan went public with it.

1 from 3 thanks Lingster.

Its a sure thing for my supporting parra if any smug posters find there way here!

Just having some fun to soothe the nerves!

I just can’t wait for this game.

The players of both clubs must be freaking at the moment!

This was almost your best post of the last 8 years. But then you vacillated and went back to making sure you could later look back and say you were right (ie you said nothing)

Our game is all about pinning teams in the corner from a lofted box kick. If Moses' kicking game is on, the forwards should be able to muscle up without Mr meterage To'o to break their resolve.

Perhaps the punters don't realise what a big out he is. More likely they are looking at our weak form (on the whole) over the last couple of months

Where does Ferguson sit on that PCM list? Not top 10...? Half of To'o's contribution?

Moses has he’s been turning up of late, playing some of the best footy of his career. He will be fine.

Well I don't make predictions mate, I only deal in facts. I'm an analyst not a f**ken soothsayer. That's why I never talk about being right. I just have to deal with whiny merkins trying to tell me I'm wrong.
