Week 1 finals - game day thread Eels v Knights

[Parra Cheeses]

James Graham has a hard on for Parra on League Wrap

 

[Parra Cheeses]

Moses was huge. Building for next week. Our most important

Disclaimer: I voted for Moses in the Parra members poll.

The only blip of penisini atm is he has lost the ball twice in 4 games to one on one steals.

Other then that he is looking the goods

We won our second finals game in 11 years.

and half you merkins are deathriding us already ahead of next week and bagging the team.

if you can’t enjoy a win, any win, in a finals match, then I don’t know why you bother at all in watching or being invested in a football team..

I’d hate to know you personally, you must be absolutely joyless pricks.

I don’t think I read one death riding post. A couple people have said we could of played better and will need to improve against Penrith

C Guthersons swagger in the post match interview suggests he is a million dollar player. He is nowhere near it. Throw a 700 at Daine Laurie and we are a better team.

Gutherson is a better player than Laurie. He's got everything except speed. Definitely not a million dollar player though.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Be careful what you wish for. Laurie not in the same universe as Gutho.

Would be a better runner in broken play but that's about it. Probably better at chasing grubbers too.

The other half haven't changed their vote in the BA thread yet. They've just been given another week to make up their minds.

On recent form about half that would be right.

Waqa Blake anyone? The guys has been killing it.

Also, loved how Moses was taking on the line. That try was one of he best individual tries I had seen for a while. Probably the only blemish was his first half kicking game. But that came good. Dylan brown had a good first half but disappeared when we needed him.

Yeah,I never liked him but he has improved heaps. He runs alot harder now and uses his size in defense

Tahu should coach him and he'll be devastating

BA said Matto would be 18th man but NRL had Oppy in that role. What the f is going on with Matto?

I think matto struggles to do his heavy breathing in a mask

 

[yy_cheng]

I'm still on the fence when it comes to Carty. I would have expected more game sense from him considering he's been around for some time. While he might have a good offload, his decision making is quite questionable at critical times in a game. Poor judgement when it comes to passing comes to mind. Another example of the difference between the good and great teams.

I think he thinks he's playing tag or something or like footie version of tip and run

 

[Eelogical]

He is an NRL level for sure. But not a starter. Benchy

I'm not on a witch-hunt by any means, but I don't think he's going to be part of an Eels premiership winning team going forward.

Well, he has had his fair share of concussion incidents from his playing days.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Give me James Graham over braif Anasta on these fox shows even with his north pommy accent you can understand him better then braif

Drown has to step up and have a biggie. These guys want to be considered 'elite' then now is the time to prove it.

Did you skip the immediate pages when the game finished of people saying we were horrendous??

Is there a difference between criticism and death riding? Everyone’s happy we won. Most are saying we need to improve.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

How good was RCG? First game back and he does that! Was so wrong about him when he first signed him.

Probably our best forward. He's been a massive out this past six weeks. The biggest mystery is how we managed to beat Melbourne without him.

I think if you can’t enjoy the win for even 5mins before jumping online and bagging out the performance there is a negativity in your life that probably needs some work….
