**Live game thread* WT vs Eels

[Demps]

This is it for that team . Mahoney generates so much of thier attack from the ruck . No way Hodgson isn’t Matt Ballin 2.0. When the wheels come off the vehicle usually crashes and burns . It’s sudden .
And for me with most players in thier core taking off , it’s all over red rover .
The panthers on the other hand are the nrls version of the patriots . The nrl grand final will be the Penrith panthers invitational for the next 10 years .

They're hot and cold... lose to the dogs then play us at our level.

Obviously will play finals and do better than us but they aren't smashing teams into a GF win.

No GF rings for them, just like their fav child Hindmarsh.

And they're losing a few of their guns every year.

Very absent tonight...
Clearly protesting.

Visibly frustrated and centre and life

Kelma 1 run in 80 minutes. Shamefu

K

Yet everyone will bag the bloke who was out there trying till the death. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Kelma 1 run, Garner 5 runs. How are they not actually embarrassed for themselves when rookies come in and show them up. I know there isn’t really much else to be picked but seriously anyone, I mean anyone needs to be there instead of kelma

I almost broke my ribs when I found out Parra signed Hodgson from laughing so hard. A 33 year old coming off 2 recent ACL’s. They are every chance of falling outside the 8 next season.

Can the Admins clean this forum up

Why? Did you puke?

 

[earl]

Our players tried hard. We were outclassed but lots of effort. I'm not sure what your expectations are? Mine are realistic

I was happy with that performance for now. I said Pole looked okay last week. He was great this week. Stef is back. I said he just needed time. Having Pole, Musgrove and Joe O helping him out made a massive difference.

Garner and Tuilagi were good as well.

Yep , hard watch.
Rattled and barely noticeable on field.

Brooks tried towards the end but his ability is so below standard.

Jacko is cooked.
Needs a few weeks off to recover.

 

[aturkey]

Yep it was all Brook's fault, everyone else was a 10/10.

Accept it, Brooks is a bad player. Just accept it, living in lie isn't good for your health

 

[TigerSJ]

Brooks was rocks and diamonds but still tried his heart out. Sorry to say but with AD at 5/8 we would never have scored the tries through the backs that we did tonight.

 

[earl]

Great game, great effort. When needed all our tries came down the left.

Brooks speed and passing game set up those tries. Hasting played his role. Nofo finished well.

 

[StarswithStripes]

We lost by 8. It was there to be won. Usual dumb mistakes and missed opportunities.

It was almost us though.... 😅

Nofo had a very good game. I think he enjoyed his linking with Brooks.

Yep. Brooks is a terrier. I don't care what anyone says the kid plays with more heart than 99% of the players out there.

He did good things as well. He was our best kicker. His defense is great.

It's a shame at critical times he makes mistakes.

I believe if AD had the touches Brooks had we may have scored double the amount of tries.

I’m going to say it, Brooks left centre. Speed can tackle and pass what else do we need 😃

Doueihi doesn't have the speed as Brooks does to set those tries up for Nofo.

 

[diedpretty]

Doubtful.

They should be flogging a weak team like us but they can't

Moses generation never wins a comp

They won't finish in the top 4 - do their usual choke in the semis and go out after 1 game

 

[Demps]

Has a higher IQ in a position that requires smarts.

Brooks doesn't play tonight... we win by 14

Come on Demps, you don't really believe that...
