2024 Trial 1 v Eels: Teams and Game Day *Teams p1*

[Dusty]

Strange's kicking game is pathetic. Looks like a baby giraffe trying to kick a footy. Weekes has a better kick (hell Starling has a better kicking game)

Pathetic is harsh. He’s wearing 7 but he’s a running 6 or centre. It just has to be passable in that role.

All of his kicks so far have been quality

Canberra Raiders kick off to start the second half.

[NoMan]

So that’s why Ricky wants to sign Sanders.

[dubby]

Weekes has been very good in defence

Disagree with this. Lane was giving him a bit of a bath in the first 15 minutes of the game imo.

I think Weekes and Strange have both been ordinary in defence

[dubby]

10 minutes for that?

[NoMan]

Bad luck for Martin, nothing much he could do there.

[The Greenhouse]

42nd min KICK ERROR EELS Ethan Sanders fails to find touch from a penalty.

[Raoul Duke]

Bad luck for Martin, nothing much he could do there.

How is supposed to make that tackle?? Seriously

[Makaveli]

No shoulder to the head from Parra ?

[PerthRaider86]

Very soft Sin Bin

[Rick]

Why is that not 10?

43rd min Head clash between Pasami Saulo and Ogden. Both players have to go off for an HIA. Saulo has a bit of blood flowing too. Doubtful either player will be back. Prinston Esera ON. Noah Martin is in the sin bin.

[Dylan’s Raiders]

Tackle 4 and our set play 10 metres out is drop it under to the second rower… do a play lol

[Rickmando]

Looks like our attacking structure this year is more of the same. Hit ups and hope

[Seiffert82]

Good first half under a fair bit of pressure in defence at times. The halves need to tighten up a bit in defence.

Schiller has put us under a bit of pressure with some ordinary play. A few bad passes from Saulo haven't helped either.

Not a bad hitout so far.

Kaeo Weekes missed tackle but great try saver from Chevy at the back

[PerthRaider86]

Well that's Bull. He took him out

[gerg]

No intention of going for the ball there whatsoever

Subjective officialdom is amazing

[Makaveli]

Crazy how they make a point of releasing a 40 minute video of rule interpretations and just ignore it at first opportunity

[Hong Kong Raider]

Bunker ref should sit in an Indonesian court

I was about 5 minutes behind, started skipping by 10secs and was suprised how many it took to get that decision.

[The Greenhouse]

45th min Going to the bunker for a no try for the Eels. Tuilagi goes for the ball early, after a Sanders bomb, and he takes out James Schiller. The referee said no try, presumably based on the new interpretation. The video referee seems to have forgotten the new interpretation. Bailey Simonsson grounds it and the video referee says TRY. Converted Sean Russell.

Eels 16-10

[PerthRaider86]

On field ref had the right decision

[julian87]

Weekes has been very good in defence

He’s very ordinary defender still. That’s why Manly turfed him.

You have not watched one second of the game

[Raoul Duke]

Bunker in midseason form...

[Roger Kenworthy]

Lol even with the old interpretation that contact was so early that it was a clear no try. Must be work experience day in the bunker.

[Raoul Duke]

Geez Bailey's playing well

[Rickmando]

I have. Looks like we’re just waiting for individuals to do something, like the Leipana/Bateman era

[PerthRaider86]

Why can't cotric run straight and hard??

[The Greenhouse]

47th min Nick Cotric nearly scores, but he loses the ball over the line. It followed a great tackle from Schiller to force an error from Haze Dunster.

[Rickmando]

Are tries from kicks counting this year?

[Raoul Duke]

Why can't cotric run straight and hard??

I don't get it, he is big and strong enough, has to be mental.
