Grave fears about Friday night.

I have a bad feeling about this one, i don't think we will get smashed, but i think we will lose what i believe to be a must win against the Bunnies.

Who knows, we may jag the win off a piece of some individual play but i doubt it. I think that Brad Arthur and his Eels will be under some pressure next week. 

My reasoning is, i look at our team on paper, our defence will just continue to leak points, without Jennings even more so. Our right side is horrible, our middle will struggle against Souths and our left is a new combination.

Our offense is still lacking cohesion and flair to offset our defensive deficiencies. I can't imagine a tactical coach, someone like Brian Smith would clump poor defenders altogether as Brad Arthur does.

I'm seeing tries scored against us that could have been scored 3 different ways, that is a bad sign.

Players like Jennings can draw on experience to save a bad read in defence, the outside backs we have selected this week just compound them. South's attack is not great so if they do end putting a few points on us, hence pressure next week.

  • I have a feeling the Eels might win this game and keep their finals hope alive! The only concern I have is the refereeing which I hope is at least 50/50 calls.
  • I agree Parody. I reckon that our chances of winning lie more in what sort of performance Souths come up with on the night rather than our ability to beat them.

    Our performances this year (all of them) certainly don't inspire confidence on my part.

  • I get this feeling every week

  • We don't win tomorrow night it's pretty much our season IMO, Souths have nothing.  We can't beat them then as far as i'm concerned it will be another wasted season.  And another round of excuses of how unlucky we are, how the refs hate us and why the NRL keep fucking us over.   

    • Snakes confident of a victory Al - he's already booked the dungeon at ken's for a big night of celebration - he's even taking his didgeridoo with him. Freak.

  • lol hahahaha!!!!!    

    Snake showing  us all how he can feltch out of a full Didgeridoo.

  • Pretty much equal teams.

    Neither team is capable of defending the random momentum shifting penalties (which have become a huge part of rugby league).

    If either team get 50% or more of the ball and spend any length of time inside their opposition 20 they will score points.

    The only thing they have over us is their kicking game. With Moses kicks resulting in plenty of 7 tackle sets I can see this as possibly being another deciding factor.
  • i think we will lose only different going to be is Robbie Farah he be out to show NSW what they miss out on

    • Good point Paul
