Eels V Dogs 3-2-1

Posted by Blue Eel on April 19, 2026 at 5:58pm

3 Points - Mitch Moses Led the team around superbly, had a hand in everything, kicked for near 800m

2 Points - Will Penisni Ran hard making 7 tackle busts

1 Point - Jack Williams Topped the tackle count with only 1 miss. Played the full 80 minutes and was everywhere in defence.

Special mention Junior Paulo with 169 odd metres from 55 minutes with 64 post contact meters

Well done boys, a great win that not many saw coming including myself. Well done Ryles to get them back focused nd what a great way to honour our 86 champions at the game.

Great result after the tough last round. I didn't see today's game, but happened to see team stats produced by NRL site. I don't wish to pour cold water on this win, however, it appears we only won penalty count and scoreboard. I'd be interested to hear anyone's thoughts about the importance of winning the majority of game stats for achieving a win on the scoreboard. What do you think was key today for securing the win?.

  You need to watch the game to get a clear understanding.
  
  Our effort was great, our line speed, kick chase was all on point.
  
  Players given an oppportunity held their own or played above expected.
  
  Hopefully we have seen the back end of a few players, Pezet, Kautoga and Tualagi with Kelly surely soon to follow.

  Moses
  
  Junior
  
  JAC
  
  I want to put a star out there for JDB, he showed remarkable resilience hanging in there after appearing not wanted.
  
  He still has a lot to offer and I think him starting and Williams coming on was a bif change up in our resolution.
  
  PS please do not include Pezet back in this side, we have no loyalty to him, so lets not be detrimental to the players that are staying with us,

3 Moses for his kick metres

2 Paulo for his playing his game as a real forward and doing away with his playmaking habits

1 Volkman/ Penisini for their effort (actually the whole team)
Flow Basket April 19, 2026 at 7:23pm

3 jack Williams

2 paulo

1 full back

Mention fox great defence and attack

Junior / J Williams / Penisini and Moses for me. The Volvo also deserves a mention. He has done good in the last weeks. Deserves his chance but his jaw could be telling...
