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

[84 Baby]

Anyway I was worried our win over the Storm a couple of weeks ago was our grand final.

Something something confirmation bias

 

[Gronk]

I clicked on it, so you don’t have to.

So WTF with the exiled Eel ? It’s Matto who didn’t make the team last week. A bit OTT ….

@hindy111 are you up to giving us the blueprint for success this weekend after having the jab.

You’re probably the most knowledgeable one here about the eels and def the most knowledgeable about the panthers.

hopefully you can.

 

[Bandwagon]

I think the plan is to smash them through the middle and then score some arsey tries off kicks.

I wouldn't touch them at $1.24.
Yes we only beat the Knights. But they completed at 89%. I think a few errors in last 10 mins chasing also otherwise above 90%.
Manly where 72%. Roosters and Titans 67%
Penrith looked off against Souths but Souths played great. It was a close loss.They welcome back Leota and Edwards.

To beat them we must play a slow game. Our forwards are bigger,stronger more aggressive and powerful in general. There's are faster and fitter. A quick game and they'll tire us after 30 mins and just make us look poor. Cleary will grind us with his kicking game and just try and sap us.
So to beat them just keep it slow. Use whatever tactics you need. HIAs,injuries,Talking to refs.
Kick for touch. If they make an error make sure you double knock on so it's a scrum etc.
We do not want a fast game. That is when guys like Yeo,JFH,Sorenson,Martin,Capewell look great. Keep it slow and calculated.

Also you need to get under their skin." Don't choke guys. You are best side in history remember". Keep them in check. Nothing nasty it will fire them up.Just words to get their nerves going.

This is not a super side. It's a very good side that Gus Gould has beat up all over the media to make everyone think its some powerhouse he created. They had their arses smashed in the Grand final. They've not looked great for a few months. They should still be too strong for us but finals is a funny game. We are a definite chance.

Awesome. I think south’s also handled te’o Well. We must replicate this.

 

[Cloeel]

I think this weekend is a very "winnable" game for us.

I actually think that it is a more winnable game then the Storm game a couple weeks back.

Panthers are a bit off at the moment - I hope Ivan loses his nerve is banging on and in there heads all week.

For the Panthers at the moment they are in a less is more type of situation. As long as we improve on last week I think we can win quite easily. Panthers beat themselves against souths last week - no reason why they won't do the same this week.

 

[strider]

I think Penrith will probably win, but Parra are great value at $4.25

So you will be putting a couple hundred on us then

Whats our 13+ price? ... thats where the fun is at

So we won a f**kin grand final and no one f**kin noticed

Party time!!

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

 

[Eelectrica]

Who do we think will have the crowd support on Saturday?

Probably about 50/50. Parra has support everywhere. Plenty of people jumping on board the Penrith bandwagon.

We've got the 'flying under the radar' thing down a little too well

If I was a neutral I'd definitely put money on Parra. As it is, I hate when we lose, and if I lost money at the same time I'd hate it even more.

A lot of variables to be considered in this game. A he'll of a lot. But I really think that if Dylan Brown can just have a little more impact with his attacking game (maybe 20%) it will go a long way toward a Parramatta victory. You can do this, Dylan. GO PARRA!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Now he's back at middle half, he just wants to get the ball to Gutherson (left) and Moses (right). Interestingly, late in the game against Newcastle, Moses went to the middle with Drown left and Gutherson on the right, like in 2019. Maybe trying to give Drown more opportunities to run?

No wind in the second half after battling it in the first half didnt help either.

Mate, I'd love one of those for work.

A cushion might be more comfortable. And they're actually a real thing.

I hope we play our grand final this weekend and also in 2 weeks time..
