Game day blog - Eels vs Panthers

Here it is.

Here's Brad Arthur's chance to prove the critics wrong and show that he can take a team deep into a finals series.

Here is a chance for Moses to again show that he can lead, take the line on and manage a game for a win in the second week of the finals. If this happens it will be the deepest either have gone in a season with any club.

For the Panthers, Brian To'o is out which is a huge loss for them. For the Eels, the team remains largely settled with Ray Stone getting a run at hooker again. This is a concern however, he's done enough to get us over the line, tonight is a massive test for him.

The battle of the west in Mackay! Who woulda thought? The eels will need to clean up their defence on the edges after leaking over twenty points there last week. Ivan Cleary will be hoping that the referee hasn't read the media reports about his overuse of block plays and the comparisons being made to Brian Smith.

This is such a big game for both clubs, teams, players and coaches.

So, who'll win and by what margin?

MOM?

GO YOU EELS!!!

    • Agreed I think Dylan is also going to another level today

  • Eels in a tight one.... Naden to have a shocker and Moses to shine

    GO YOU EELS!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I’m going to call an upset and say Eels by 4, 20 - 16. MOM Junior. All the pressure and the weight of expectation is on the Panthers. Let’s see how they handle it.

  • Panther by 7 MOM Luai

    • Parramatta to win 20 -12  .................... Eels man of the match to be  Clint Gutherson who will step up another yard tonight ..........................I predict Parra team will rise to the occasion and win convincingly however not a high scoring game.   The boys will be pumped knowing  30k club members together with who knows how many more fans ( I think half a million fans Australia wide  is very possible  ) will be cheering for the blue and golds tonight ........................................                 GO PARRA !!!! 
  • Parra by 6.  Tough game but we can get them.  Worried only about Api scooting.  He will do it once until Ray Stone decapitates him. Then the game changes,.   MOM   RCG

  • Let's go boys  Its a gf for the team get to the qualifier.  Nothing left in the tank.

    Let's bulldoze those panthers

Coryn Hughes replied to LB's discussion If not Bennett, then who?
"You can't compare Bennett to any other coach though he's been in the game over 50 years he's in multiple situations.There's no coach in the nrl that's seen what he's seen.
I find comparisons are all for naught when your talking coaches like him.…"
