[HK_Eagle]

It's embarrassing the Munster masterclass given to DCE tonight.

 

[Disco]

Geez I hope we don't go out in straight sets

 

[Ranga]

It's embarrassing the Munster masterclass given to DCE tonight.

Mate, the whole Storm team has given us a masterclass.

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

Probably won't hurt our for and against.

 

[weev]

Did manly spend too much time giving interviews this week talking of their premiership dream?

 

[eaglebuzz]

Welp... I fancy our chances next week, but I don't see us beating Melbourne or Penrith without seriously lifting a gear. I'd hate for us to beat Penrith only to get done by Melbourne in the GF though...

 

[mickqld]

Boys against Men. So far outclassed it's just showing how lopsided this competition is. Forwards are embarrassing.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Roosters will win their game and we’ll be out in straight sets.

They’ll learn a lot out of this , it’ll hurt and hurt breeds desire .

 

[Eagles4Life]

Just saying..

Yes he did. But he has played well for most of the game.

 

[God]

Tom can expect to get belted every week for the rest of his career if he doesn't want to man up

 

[Waz13]

Welch has torn us apart tonight along with Munster.

we need to get over the advantage line early in sets. Hard against that line speed and wrestling.

Agree 100% at the crux of our performances both times vs these guys is f$&@en piss poor ball control, completions and go forward. Tom can’t do f$&@ all the way Melb are dominating us. Right now we have no answer to these guys. Move on to Easts or Titans next week. Also Des use of the interchange is again beyond puzzling. Above all imo Croker has been an enormous loss. Our tempo across the park has been completely off. We are use to the Frog pace not the lawman pace.

 

[Dan]

Meh it's been a good season. Let's at least hope we get it done next week with aonger turn around.

 

[ALinda]

Thank God we came 4th and get another chance

 

[HoldenV8]

After the form he's been in, I honestly never imagined that Turbo would basically just phone it in tonight.

 

[QueefRichards]

Turbo looks like he did in SoO 3, really groggy

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

This is 2006 all over again , a side full of youngsters overawed in their first final game.

This will be a great lesson for them.

Don’t be too harsh on the kids .

 

[mjb136]

The only positive I can take out of this, is that it would be difficult for us to play any worse next week.

 

[Ryan]

They are bigger, tougher, harder, stronger and more skillful than us, unfortunately.

They also have the best coach in the game.

 

[Technical Coach]

Just saying..

No idea mate.
