Other Games [Week 1, finals, 2021]

[NYEagle]

A few observations from tonight

(A) What happened to the 10m? Or might I say, what happened to the 5m?. My goodness

(B) When South’s kicked and a Penrith player caught or picked up the ball, I noticed that Panthers running back from offside would stop exactly in the defensive line which essentially stops the slide defence to cover the counterattack. How is that legal??

(C) Penrith complexly laid an egg tonight. Worst performance of the season and didn’t fire a shot in attack. South’s did to Penrith what Melbourne did to us.

Refereeing has just reverted to 2019

I was really pumped up against the Storm .

I really liked out chances

But after seeing what I saw I was gutted

Absolutely gutted !!!

as I hate losing with a passion .

We did not just lose

We were totally outclassed by 40 points

Surely we beat the roosters who have Cordner , Friend , Keary , Manu , Morris , and Collins out

Sometimes a loss like that can be a blessing in disguise. I’m sure the Storm are feeling a bit worse off after tonight’s result. We’ve been granted a great opportunity now, will we take is the big question?

The crackdown on this was round 1 last year, get with the program.

Yikes! I thought it ended when Choc left Manly.

Hey @God if you are about today can you ensure the Squeels get beaten??

My best mate ( Eels supporter ) has been sending me nasty memes about every hour , which I’m totally ignoring , but it would just be so satisfying to see them go out today.

So if you can wave that magic wand ( is that what you use or just a wave of your hand ) that would be greatly appreciated.

By the way I still don’t believe in all your **** but if you can make the Eels lose I might change my mind !!

Sometimes I regret that Brian Kelly decided to leave at the end of 2019. I think he'd still be a starting centre here.

On hindsight Roosters would be better to play as Titans forwards were making easy metres with their big boppers. We just need to play our game, cut out mistakes and we should win.

That would mean our forwards would cart the ball up with aggression instead of leaving it to the backs. Wishful thinking I'm afraid.

We have 2 starting centers. 1 plays as a lock off the bench and the other can't make the 17.

Good review of the Roosters decisions last night. Why did the bunker not get involved in the the field goal?

Good to see with all the new rule changes, some things will always stay the same.
Roosters and Storm bias bordering corruption from officials

I'm staying out of that one, can't support the eels or the knights winning.

Please @God ?!!

My take is that, if they consistently demonstrated that they can do what Des wants (i.e. both in attack and defense), from the start of the off-season, then they would be in those centre positions.

But they haven't and they aren't.

I'd love to see the Knights send the Eels packing today!

Can’t see that happening but we can only hope…

Kelly is a worse defender than Suli

Was playing his best football with us, since he left not as much. Kelly's lost ball in the tackle 30m out from their goal line with only under 10m to go lost them the game in all honesty.

Ponga has a series of childish pictographs tattooed on his arm, indicating that he has the mind of a simpleton.

Also he looks like he would smell like McDonald’s.
