Always next year

 

[Strider]

Adam didn't seem to get the ball enough in the last 15 minutes. Looked good when he was leading the charge. Main takeout for me is we have a good half for next year it seems so we know who our halves will be.

He was never in charge ! Like at all !

All the try assists after Benji came from him. I don't believe Brooks got one assist did he? Adam threw mad wide passes. I like the look of him ?

Let the Eels have this one
They have been dreadful for many years,no way they put a dent in the finals.
I took some positives out of this game.
Always next year 🤗

I love this club and will support it till I die but this years effort was just crap. It must change

Generally agree, though we took the 3rd placed team down to the wire tonight.

I'm excited about Talau and Kepaoa, Doueihi also. We have the makings of a very good backline. No wonder the Storm wanted Talau.

One day we will buy a goal kicker.

Nofo is a terrible fullback attack wise

Has no idea

Love him as a winger though

Yup, ball just dies with him.

He's only good on the wing.

The ball does die with him

Just turns back inside and gets comfortably tackled

No way was nofo bad at fb...pleas he was thrown in their mid game....thought he added a lot to brooks game

I agree. I'm not advocating him to be a full time fullback, but he added some spark when he shifted. Noticeably he was running onto outside-ins and following up plays down the middle, something I think we've lacked.

It also has to be considered he's probably had zero training at 1 so is trying to enter plays with only a winger's perspective on them.

He was very solid under the high ball, as was AJ. AJ was good tonight, shows promise.

Talau looks like a gun. I finally understand it

Wow, that’s the best game Brooksy has played for a while. He appeared to come to life when Benji left the field.

 

[Tcat]

It was pretty clear looking at Harry at dummy half in the last 15mins. Hands in the air asking for some direction from one of our playmakers and by the look on his face, silence. That pretty much sums up our season.

Score 5 tries still can't defend our way to a victory

Defence is attitude ...means so little ...so soft

Scary thought is I thought they were putting their shoulders in that game

You don’t get a try assist if you’re first receiver in a block play mate. Literally where a 7 has played since round 1,1908. I swear some of you have never played footy before , because of you did , you would know who actually is running and organising the team whilst your out there

 

[momo_amp_medo]

I enjoyed our attack.
But boy that defence needs attention.
Nothing that can’t be fixed in offseason.
I recon with few smart additions over next couple of years will see us well into the finals.

It weird

He slacked off this game

I still have faith in his kicking tho

 

[tiger05premier]

Has no idea

Agreed. Definitely played injured too after last week's late knock.

It's a shame as he loves the club so would be good if he could make it as fullback

Was safe under high ball

 

[Aesopian]

5 tries a piece... Goalkicking did us in again hahahahaha damn you doobie

Yah - when he runs that inside straight and hard.

But when he plays out the back, he starts crabbing across, takes a round-about and goes to ground. No ball-playing or number-awareness.

 

[Roar_Power]

Did I hear we have broken a 113 year old record by letting in at least 26 points a game for the last 10 games?

For sure I’d say it depends on who sign and what young guns come into frame and also there’s Mbye but I’d like to think nofo gets a chance to train there in the off season
