2024 FINALS: [All Games: Week 1]

[EaglesDontTweet]

Short kick offs are still a high risk versus return.

6 - 4 (sharks conv missed)

 

[HK_Eagle]

Storm are structure, consistency, and discipline; everything we aren’t. We would beat any team in the competition if we could train and program these qualities into our game.

Pretty standard round for tipping/betting:

Panthers
Storm
Cowboys
Manly

Storm are structure, consistency, and discipline; everything we aren’t. We would beat any team in the competition if we could train and program these qualities into our game.

I’d rather be able to train in their ability to hold down the opposition and never get penalised.
I hate them more than the Dogs, and that’s saying something.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Nicho just doesn’t seem capable of rising for big games. He has a good game for the grind of the regular season, but fails when the intensity is ratcheted up. I hope he can find something in the remainder of this game.

Well, that would help too… but TBH, it just distracts from the quality of their structures and how they are executed with monotonous consistency. That’s their true strength, IMO.

Harry Grant looks like one of those inflatable wavy arm guys in front of second hand car dealerships.

The Sharks are flat after lifting a couple of gears for their match against us. Best hope for us is for them to play absolutely out of their skins to jag a win and then absolutely fall apart 2 weeks from now (assuming we win our next two).

 

[HK_Eagle]

20/20 completion rate by Storm that first half. Outstanding. Some poor discipline at the end by Grant there (stripping) and it cost them points.

 

[johnperi01]

Well deserved by the Sharks; hopefully can keep it going and beat these cheating Storm

 

[HK_Eagle]

Sharks are very capable, despite carrying Nicho. If you slip up they will push you. They will hope for a few more opportunities as the Storm completion rate dips a little deeper into the game. Interesting second half coming up. sharks would be happy to be just 4 behind at half time.

Sharks hanging in, Sharks start well in the 2nd half and Bellyache will need to be in a straight jacket.

 

[ManlyArmy]

Sharks are up in their eyeballs in this one.

Despite some bad plays from Nicho, that decision to take the quick tap instead of kick for touch was genius from him, got them on the run for that last try.

After watching that Penrith game last night I’m convinced they will steamroll anyone now

 

[2830 Eagle]

Sharks need to put Atkinson on

 

[eaglebuzz]

Hynes is an absolute passenger in big matches

 

[Eagle 1]

Refs 6 again and some indifferent decisions cost the Sharks big time.

 

[mickqld]

Clearly we cannot afford errors and giving away penalties otherwise we're gone tomorrow. We must play disciplined and force them into errors.

 

[Eagle 1]

Hynes is an absolute passenger in big matches

He reminds me of a homeless person

 

[eaglebuzz]

Well if we play well enough to get there, we will have to beat the Storm to book a place in the GF.
