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!!!

    • Might be vice versa though too LB!

      • Yes :(

        wait till they put us under any kind of pressure we did them this could turn out v bad 

        🤞

  • So why was Blaize named in this side. We really struggle in attack.

  • When Russell swings his leg around when kicking for goal why he doesn't aim more to the right amazes me ,oviosly no coaching here .

  • And yet another shit end to a set in the 20... we must seriously be about the worst side in the comp at converting opportunities in the opposition 20.

  • Daryaaaaawn rocks .. how's the atmosphere of this game 

  • "it's a soft penalty" He claimed Fogarty a few weeks ago cannot be touched as we need to protect the kicker.

    Also, why is Gutho kicking now and not earlier? Is it under 9's where everyone gets a shot?

  • Geezzz Enis is so butt hurt and such a jizz guzzler. Kicker gets taken in the air and he acts like a girl scout

  • There is no line speed in defence

  • Those set restarts were absolute dogshit calls.

"Tad, well said, 100% agree.
I am likely in the minority on this one, but to me the 'time' needed to rebuild the Eels in systems, personnel, mindset & culture, is not necessarily our biggest concern.
Where time is most relevant is actually now,…"
