Have we peaked this year?

Looking at our performances over the past few weeks, I am wondering if we might have seen the best from the Eels this season. We took the competition a bit by surprise in the first 10 weeks, but now that other teams have been able to have a good look at us, they appear to be giving us less room to move. To add to this, we have a couple of injuries to key personnel (Hoppa and Peats) and our game seems to be a bit stilted.I'll be over the moon if we make the 8, but my prediction at this stage will be 1 or 2 wins away from semi final contention.

  • No.

    We are in the form slump you have before you hit peak form.

    We'll ambush this comp yet.

    • My heart agrees with you IH8Manly! Unfortunately my head is not so sure...
  • Have we got an extra gear - because we need it!
  • What does your schlong say?

    • Still laughing!! Just had the family look around at me laughing out loud. I don't think I can tell them....
  • Watching Roosters V. Manly showed me how far off the pace we are. When either side was mounting a serious attack on 3 and 4 tackle, they had players sprinting upfield on either side of the ruck. . Must be distracting for the defence.We have a lot of linebreakers, probably as many as any team, but the back up is not happening for us. Our other problem is F&A. Unless we improve that we could get rolled in a tie for 28 points. Still a chance for the 8.

  • We still have a chance, but only if we can minimise our penalties given away!

  • I hope not. Today, we lacked patience and made a too many errors, missed too many tackles..
    I think, after Origin, Hayne will have no more distractions and if we get Mau and Hoppa back we will make the 8, we just need to re-group with this bye and be on 20 points...
  • Now's not the time to be peeking. You might see someone taking a slash in their own mouth....
  • Yes BIG TIME we mite get one or two more wins thats it
