How did I leave out Brooks, Koula & Hoppa.

All a shandy in front of Bully, Lawton, Simpkin, Jake, Corey, Tommy Talau and Ben T.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

DCE, although the experts during the game said he was garbage so I may have to review it
Olakau’atu - Skill rather than power
Brown - Led the side

His first half was ordinary. Kicking and poor defence, very poor.

His second half a masterclass.

(was hard keeping Brooks,Hoopa,Bulli out)
Brooks is a lot tougher than I ever gave him credit for ,maybe I just didnt watch the ****cats.

 

[Eagle 1]

DCE silenced his critics today
Ola wow...non stop attack and defence
Brownie was just inspirational today
Special mention, Lehi, Bully and Lawton

Interesting you have Koula in your discussion. I actually thought it was one of his worst games in FG. I’m a huge fan but he was poor in defence and dropped the crucial ball in the second half that gave Saints the set that Lomax scored off.

 

[LeonardCohen]

DCE - masterclass
Hoppa - some class touches to help us score points. The Hunt try saver and the bomb that Lomax usually catches 9/10.
Bullemor - best forward on the park.

Honourable mention for Brooks who was a running threat and scored a pearler that he set up by putting Lawton through. Honourable mention to Simpkin, a debutant that played 80 mins in the most gruelling position. Honourable mention to Ola for some big defence and rioting down his edge. Finally, honourable mention to Brown for firing up and playing long minutes due to injury.

Brown. Absolute hero

That try saver on Hunt was a momentum changer, the Dragoon’s had a fair bit of wind under their sails in the lead up to that.

Going to throw up saying this

1. DCE great game, almost equal with Jake ....2 tries in 1 season....
2. Brown - love the attitude. inspirational
3. Here is where I throw up....Lawton. Been bagging him for ages so I'm eating humble pie. He was great today.

Can I say I have never been as proud of our side as today. We had no right to win today given the injuries.

 

[ABTK]

Pleased to see a few here mention Corey Waddell's efforts today. He was on one leg and was still making tackles. Very nice work.

 

[Cochrane]

DCE- didn't play that well in the first half, and some strange kicks, but 2nd half was another level, even in defence he was putting his shoulder into tackles, really stood up, led the way and was what us critics (not haters) have always wanted to see more of.

Brown- led the forwards, even when he got belted he got up and went again.

Hopoate- another great game from our new fullback!

Super-gutsy win by the Eagles against significant setbacks and really gave the fans something to cheer for. Plenty of guys deserved points today. The ones I thought really went above and beyond:

3 Brown - when all was falling apart around him, he stood up tall. 66 minutes played, 18 runs (second only to Lehi), 161 metres (second only to Lehi), 33 tackles (second only to Simpkin). A very big part in holding the middle together.

2 Simpkin - 80 minutes played and a game-high 40 tackles, played like he was determined to say he belonged out there. Great debut.

1 Lehi - who I thought had a great game. I have a sorrowful feeling we can't keep him, because even at this stage of his career it is perfectly obvious he is a 1G fullback.

Particular mentions to Olakau'atu and BenT who I thought both had excellent games.

 

[TokyoEagle]

3: Ola - that's why he was chosen for NSW.
2: Bully & Lawton - showed the way forward
1: Brown - Gives it everything without regard for his body even if we don't have any subs on the bench.
*He is either an idiot or a nutter. It doesn't matter which. He is our idiot/nutter this year.

Respect to the whole forward pack for their efforts today.
