Sadly looks like the X-Men kit we wore once.......

 

[Waz13]

Ohh fu*king Voss is commentating

9s an option

 

[HoldenV8]

It might be a full house at Brookie today ... but guaranteed there is nowhere near 27,655 people in the ground today.

Edit: its the Brookvale ground record vs the Worms from 1986

 

[The Royal Soup]

and there goes all our momentum thanks to Oshah

 

[HoldenV8]

Saved by a thankfully correct call.

 

[HoldenV8]

Those legs are just too skinny to grab. Only the ankle tap works.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Saaaaaaabbbbbbbbbyyyyyy


try time baby!!!!

 

[Saabnaldo]

The most dangerous winger in attack in the NRL without a doubt

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

Beautiful conversion

 

[HoldenV8]

Is it me or are we finally trying to actually make use of Saab's speed this year??

We seem to be going right more and more so far in 2025.

Here comes the ref…

 

[HoldenV8]

There are two things that worry me about Hopoate as a winger.

1 - he's not exactly the fastest runner. Even Turbo ran away from him in the Pacific Champs last year.
2 - his lack of size. I think he needs to bulk up a bit because he does get manhandled.

Otherwise his defence is generally good and so are his hands. As proved there as other wingers we have might have dropped that before scoring (sorry Ray, looking at you there mate).

Good tone so far. Crowd hasn't turned on DCE and the players are focusing on getting the job done.

[HoldenV8]

One day Dylan Brown's "Off the back fence" runs are going to end in something other than him being smashed.....

 

[eaglebuzz]

I'm glad that the ref is having none of the Eels trying to keep a short 10m too
