Week 2 finals Eels v Souths at Bankwest (and team list)

[Avenger]

Time to change the title. The Knights are leaving the bubble.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Hope Souths put a few more tries on.......need them cocky ....and media putting expectations on them...

 

[Incorrect]

Reckon next week will be a lot like last year, but opposite shoes for us.......who ever wins today will be talked up big time (like us after the broncos win) but we go a lot better then expected (based on journos talking us down) and win (like storm against us last year)

Yeah nah....

I can't see us winning next week regardless of being talked up or down by anyone.

 

[Avenger]

Yeah nah....

I can't see us winning next week regardless of being talked up or down by anyone.

Can we have another review if we go out in straight sets ?

 

[Tooooks]

Yeah nah....

I can't see us winning next week regardless of being talked up or down by anyone.

Yeah, only the top teams like Bulldogs can beat them lately.

Could W Smith handle Centre for a game?

Or even wing, at least he has some pace...

Taka just cannot defend are Centre. We saw that last week, his lateral movement is trash.

Also think we cant afford the drop we have when both Paulo and RCG come off so one needs to start from the bench. From a second phase point of view for mine that’s Paulo as he can exploit tiredness/laziness after 25mins.

Gutho
G Jennings
Smith/Waqa
Jenko
Waqa/Smith
Brown
Moses
Evans
Mahoney
RCG
Lane
Matto
Brown

Taka/Stone
Davey
Paulo
Kaufusi

I’d like to see Smith on the wing with Taka inside him for cover in the air under kicks. We need some speed. Put him on the right opposite Alex Johnson perhaps.

 

[Oscarman]

Will the NRL allow us to beat a team coached by Bennett?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Yeah nah....

I can't see us winning next week regardless of being talked up or down by anyone.

We will win.....

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Hope Souths put a few more tries on.......need them cocky ....and media putting expectations on them...

Time for a couple more.

 

[Oscarman]

They look cocky as hell now. Old merkin Bennett got the smirk going.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

C'mon, bring up the 50.

 

[Incorrect]

We will win.....

Obviously I hope you're right. But on form and our recent effort against them I can only see 1 result right now.

 

[Eelectrica]

Newcastle their own worst enemy this game. Not in great form coming in getting dusted by the Titans coming in.

Having both our wingers our isn't great though, as well as Nikore most likely out.

Stating the bleeding obvious

But we need to have at least 55% + possession v Souths, limit their attack

Hope mostly Eels fans at Bankwest, Ill be there, give the boys a lift, and another showdown v Penrith in Penrith (or will they move that game to ANZ? as would get close to 40k there v Souths or v Eels)

Pretty sure it will be SCG or ANZ, Penrith won’t get the option of Penrith.

 

[Kornstar]

The good news is that they have already started talking up the Bunnies, we have no chance according to the Fox analysts.

ANZ for sure

The Minor Premiers will be mad that Souths get a home GF qualifier.
