**live game feed** vs the Eels

[TYGA]

We were outclassed but I was happy with our spine in attack Brooks, Douihei, Laurie. You would have to check the last time we had 3 props over 100m against the Eels. Much improved team this year.

We need a strike centre, winger as a matter of urgency. Kepoa and Talau are holding the team back. Talau looks injured.

Talau was terrible

 

[PJ_]

Surprised at the Tamou hate, I thought his first stint for us was excellent. Ran a good 70+ metres and made 15 or so tackles. He's not the most exciting forward but he did his job

Mikaele was our worst forward by far. Twal played very little minutes which was strange. Stefano and Musgrove were good

It’s his getting to his feet and the play the balls
Plodder is being kind ..
He was brought in to set an example and he sure is setting the example

Can't say enough about a club that had a nuffie at captain last year and a plodder this year. Doesn't matter how good they are off field, they're crap on it

 

[hobbo1]

Our left side is puss

Need more sting in attack

Need more line speed

Doueihi needs a halves partner

Other than those kicks and his try I thought Doueihi was floundering as much as Brooks. His passes aren't as crisp and a bit on the slow side.
I honestly hate that we still don't know how to use Jimmy the Jet.
The team looks as trepid in attack as it does in defence.

But it shouldn’t be all on Doueihi in his 3rd ever game at 6
He’s playing with a half who’s played 152 games who can’t put up a nice bomb , can’t kick long or can’t get a repeat set ..
It’s a one man show ?

Brooks was outclassed by Moses, Brown and Gutho.

He was outclassed by Rankin

Pretty sad

Talau has looked the same since he made his debut. He is an average and slow football player. Living off his old man's name.

Can we send MBye off now, he is not a hooker and not a playmaker

You're kidding right? He was one of the very few reasons why we were even in the game at the end.

What positives do you take in all reality

We are a shambles in attack

Our defence is horrible .....we play dumb in both attack and defence

It hasn't improved in 4 games

This is either an on field issue in attack ...Brooks is the organizer or it is poor coaching ...then it's Madge fault

And Madge picks Brooks ....

Something has to give ..or they both can go

And I wait patiently for the excuseathon

Brooks was not the problem today mate . We were in it up to our eye balls. Right side defence , ie. Garner AD and Jimmy needed a rocket . Our field position was good , our game plan was good , our attack for the most part was pretty good .

Honestly that last 2 minutes doesn’t count , a fluke offside try and a Hail Mary on our tryline.

There’s a lot of kids in this team . talau , AJ , AD and they all get beaten 1 on 1 .
I. Just glad that portion of our season is over . That was torture. We are just off the top 4 , in quality . It’s mInly execution and losing key moments that’s holding us back .

I firm.y believe we will go on a run now . I know we have Souths , but it’s clean sailing for awhile .

Are you watching our abortion attack

We are simply ad lib ...still ...nothing changed

Our D is powder puff ....they get 4 in tackles and still can't make dominant tackles

We have no line speed ...that 1st try was embarassing ....a bit of line speed and Moses gets swallowed .....every time Moses steps back inside his ribs should be split in half

Its embarrassing .....too many Janes in our forward pack defensively ...

Fisher Harris , kikau and co carried the plodder ..
If he was any good they’d of kept him

This is it, were not winning all the forward battles but were holding our own much better.
Then it spreads to the edges to wet paper bags and nothing comes of it.

Nofo and Jet look okay, they havn't had many chances.
Talau and AJ side get all the chances and do nothing with it, or when we make a half break AJ stuffs it up.

Need a new pairing there TOMORROW. PUT BJ and mbye there and bring simpkin to hooker

I'm with Hap.
Burn it to the ground and rebuild from scratch.

 

[Lauren]

Anyone know what happened to Twal? Hope there's no injury concerns with him.

 

[BAGNF05]

No line speed... Brooks went missing again...

Honestly not a day to bash Brooksy today. He’s always in the frame and doing something, needs some of the guys hiding out there to make an impact.

 

[michaelruizz]

Everyone was so against Wests trying to sign Mansour because it would block Kepaoa's progression, i dont know about all of you, but i'd take Mansour over Kepaoa every day of the week. Kepaoa has been one of our worst in this first month

 

[happy_tiger]

I'd have Mbye at 7 next week .....

So if we are going to defend as bad as we are ....and our attack was planned ad lib ...we may have as well kept Marshall .....is shows how idiotic our football is

Brooks was one of our best today. 3 try assists, gave plenty of early ball to LL and Talau, steered the team in attack and made no mistakes. We were soundly beaten in the forwards, and had no line speed in defence. Your analysis of the game shows your bias against Brooks and general lack of Rugby League knowledge.

 

[Goldust]

They had a go.
I thought Gerrard Sutton was the worst ref in the NRL but Ashley is pushing very hard should be locked in the Video ref box and never let out

Gutho was offside
Brown was playing at the ball

But Parra pack and halves owned us

It was a comedy effort just to get a repeat set

Tamou has been crap ...
I could soft boil an egg by the time he plays the ball ..
Plodder

You called Hobbo well before we signed him

 

[voice_of_reason]

I'm curious how many thought we were a genuine chance of beating Parramatta given they're undefeated this year and have rolled both the Sharks and Storm who are in the top 8? Many people have them as premiership favourites.

Forgetting the last couple of minutes, we were in it up to our elbows. Yes, we had some luck, both good and bad, but we had a crack. Clearly we don't have the class or experience to match right now, but we gave them a shake and scored the most points against them this year.

I feel the pain, but I think we all expected 2021 to be a write off and 2022 more likely to show some success.

We aren’t near the Roosters , raiders , storm , panthers . We are just off the eels . There’s just execution issues IMO.
So basically it’s Knights , Dragons , sharks , Titans , Tigers , Warriors for those 2 final positions .
We are definitely in that quality . That trial was no fluke . There’s 3 comps going on . It’s basically the premier league . 4 teams fighting it out for the title , a whole bunch trying to make the euro league/ finals ,and a handful of teams trying to stay up / not get the spoon .

Not many of those teams in the middle have played the top teams , hence the lopsided score lines . We only play Souths from here to round 13 . Then it’s the riff .
Our real season starts now IMO . If we want to make the 8 we have the beat the teams around us.

I would put Cini in for AJ until a replacement is found.
I would look at swapping Walters for Cory Oats ASAP.

Simpkin on the bench for Mbye and would love Amore to get a bench spot but it was only his first game today and need match fitness.

Our attack was disgusting today ..as it has been every week

So its not Brooks fault ..who then ??
