Game Day Blog - Eels vs Dolphins

I'm in Cairns and it's very hot and humid here, so I can imagine what Darwin is like and how the boys are feeling!

Tonight we see the Eels take on Benny's boys in our annual home game in the Territory. Recent years have been unsuccessful for the Eels copping a couple of touch ups and hopefully this year is different. The Dolphins have their best 3 players out and even with Moses out, there are no excuses for BA and the team.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Talagi is used from the bench if he is used at all! I am one who agrees with his selection, he's just got to be in the team somewhere.

So, who wins and by what margin?

MOM?

GO YOU EELS!!!

  • Bennett hasn't made the trip to Darwin, apparently he has the flu.

    So not only are the Phins down a heap of players, they're also down a head coach.

    I'd like to say this makes me more confident but we're so good at losing games we should win that now I'm even more nervous. 

  • Blaize to come on as fullback and gutho to push up into the halves of ruck. That's what I'm thinking. 

  • Eels 32 No Postcodes 16

    • MOM Castanza

  • The Bush coach fills most eels fans with such little confidence that they are feeling nervous about playing a decimated dolphins team with no coach at the game 🤣🤣🤣 

     

    On the back of the dolphins being decimated eels by 18 . 

  • Our backrowers should have a field day tonight. 
    Hopgood MOM , the boys finally starting well again 42-10. 

    • Bup, I just get concerned regarding the weather and humidity- if we can complete well and be disciplined then we will be ok

      • It's the start for me, we score first we settle into a rythym and run away with it, it gets hard for the dolphins once their head drops.

  • Just find a way to win don't worry about what it looks like.Get all the effort areas right we win those we'll get the result.

    • Coryn bud you remind me of a coach saying that. But you're spot on...
