NRL Round 27 - Eels Vs Knights - 4:05pm Sunday 7th September - CommBank Stadium

[Lefty]

Things will get better next season. They clearly weren’t playing with great effort to finish the year. Sharpe, Lucas, Ponga back probably our 3 best players, that alone makes us better. Hopefully a new coach that can fix our attacking mess.

Plus Brown, Mooney and Crouch.

 

[MBQLD]

Headbutted the dude's elbow, then made sure of it with the turf.

Ouch I didn’t see that.

Cant fault the kid for having a red hot go

 

[Battler]

Yeah, I think he had no control over how he landed, was already out.

 

[frankLauda]

Plus Brown, Mooney and Crouch.

I haven’t seen Crouch play. You think he makes the 17 next year? Prop?

 

[Lefty]

Our final for and against is minus 300.

Thanks to the Knights management for inflicting this knightmare on us by resigning AOB in 2023.

 

[Lefty]

I haven’t seen Crouch play. You think he makes the 17 next year? Prop?

Yes, prop.

We should have seen him play first grade for us this year.

 

[mozza]

Yeah everyone gave up.

Marzhew didn’t. He and Hopwood can get on the bus. The rest can walk.

 

[Billy]

Hopwood 29 tackles in 41 minutes with 2 missed.
He was going to school this time last year, and not like many of the footy players - he did very well at school.
He needed the year in reserve grade to get used to seniors, but I think he'll be a firstgrader from round 1 next year if he stays fit all off season.

 

[Macca89]

I believe they call this rock bottom

 

[Die Hard]

We came 4th in 2006, that's my cope. Hoping with a new coach and new players we can be optimistic.

 

[Newygirl]

I thought Hopwood looked good given the circumstances. Not a great way to debut but he did well

 

[Long Suffering]

Subterranean mate.

 

[listo]

Thank **** I got called out last night and missed this game

 

[Long Suffering]

Thank **** I got called out last night and missed this game

Yep better off getting paid than watching that

 

[Sheent14]

Plus Brown, Mooney and Crouch.

It looks bad now, and I think we deserved the spoon for our effort the last couple months, but I don’t think we’re close to a last place team.

 

[Defence wins games]

Hopwood must be wondering if he's done the right thing convincing AOB to debut him in this match.

But he is going ok.

New coach wont give us any miracles next year and itll be tough again. If he can at least let them play with confidence and find a style that suits the team he has in front of him. I think most if us will be pretty happy.
A tough team that gives 100%, that has the back of the guy next to him will do me next year.

The kind of team we had when the Knights entered the competition and we built upon that.

Thats it...think we are heading that way. Few young locals making grade. I like that to. Need patience with them. They will be rocks and diamonds for a bit but hopefully a good 1st grade coach can gain their confidence and get the best out of them more often then not.

 

[Defence wins games]

McEwen might have a future but he’s let in about 6 tries today. Isn’t ready to be a First Grader week to week.

He’ll be better for his 2025 experience. There is a really good first grader there.
This is his first year and he has performed beyond what he expected and he wasn’t scheduled to play this many games.
A full pre season will have him ready for 2026.
