Week 1 finals - game day thread Eels v Knights

Yep that ball to Tuala was a peach but unfortunately for Newy his brilliance is few and far between

He is the most talented guy on the field today ... but he doesnt seem to be vinvolved enough

 

[Gary Gutful]

Needs to be vinvolve himself more.

I'll vinvolve you

Paulo and Niukores potential suspension is the biggest concern.

Paulo is safe

 

[eel01s]

We did enough (just enough) to win. Concerned about Paulo on report and Gutho obviously injured during the game.

Do we have enough left in the tank to beat the Panthers???

Well done to Ray Stone, Will Penisini for great games. RCG, Nrown and Paulo laid the platform. Moses then performed when we needed him.

 

[Gronk]

Rh**d

Wasn’t someone supposed to say “action” ?

 

[IFR33K]

Ponga was class. A few of hiss passes sublime

His passes would of been average had we manned up.

 

[strider]

Paulo is safe

Period?

 

[Eelogical]

Why you blokes butt hurt about that charge down? The risk is all with the kicker (provided the defender is not late or at the legs)

Sheesh...

For me, it was a minimum reward play. We were comfortably in front, doing fine and it was the last tackle. I'd say it would have been worth the risk if we were the ones behind and looking for a play to keep us in the game. But, we invited them back into the game when we didn't need to. It was a dumb play. That's just one of the differences between the good teams and the great teams.

Edward Penishands will play for Australia

 

[IFR33K]

I expect Junior and Marata to be missing next week. If so, Matterson is obviously the straight swap for Marata, easy... If Junior is unavailable, and if Lussick is fit, I'd start with RCG and Brown as props, Stone at 13.

Pack and bench;

RCG
Lussick
Nrown
Matto
Lane
Stone

Smith
Papali'i
Carty
Kaufusi

Makatoa was a bit out of his depth today thought, ineffective....

Too small with brown and stone. We’d need papa starting.

 

[Noise]

Paulo is safe

Shoulder to the head

 

[Kornstar]

It wasn't pretty but we won. I don't think i will be watching it again though this week like usually rewatch games.

Will be interesting which Panthers team turns up next week and which Eels team graces the field.

No real pressure on us next week at least.

Plus they looked shot. Out on their last legs. That got a sniff and took their chance and it pod off for them. Risky play

 

[IFR33K]

Edward Penishands will play for Australia

Is he related to will?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Shoulder to the head

Head to the shoulder. I think his shoulder will be fine.

 

[Gazzamatta]

No. As long as you are intending to kick it, its fine

And he did. Controlled the ball out of his hands. No controversy there except for fu*k sticks like Anasta and Cronk.

 

[Parra]

Shoulder to the head

His head is ok. So is his shoulder and the idiot who ran into it.
