Ok
Why the transcript line thru?
But yes it was a composed game by our boys
Yeah I did it on my iPhone by the time I realised I had done it it was too late to change
+28 - yep, the dreaded Top of the Ladder position.
I can honestly say I did not expect a result like this.
Dogs have major problems as 4(?) or was it 5(?) kicks at goal were from directly in front.
Nuikore was quiet and had more than his fair share of handling errors, same for Sivo.
I am far from excited but enjoy winning again.
Next week will be a good measure for where we are at imo.
I’m loving being an Eel fan ATM.
The Whole side is having a dig. They seem to be responding to whatever BA has instilled this off season.
Led by Gutho they look like a different side this year. Gutho looks a different player.
Fergo what a buy - best since Fui Fui.
Lane looks the goods out wide and always looks dangerous. The rest of the forwards are also ripping and tearing with efforts in both defence and attack.
Mahoney is keeping the defence guessing - will he run, will he pass or will he kick? This is what we’ve needed from a 9 since forever.
Brown has composure and looks like he has plenty of time - like all the best players do. And what about that step to setup the last try, stunning.
Sivo dropped a few today but I like his involvement and keenness to do the hard yards. I’m sure once he scores his first it will be a case of ‘Semi Who?’
Dare I say it, even Mannah has lifted and has even discovered an offload FFS.
I reckon this side will push the roosters all the way next week and may even pull off the upset. Fingers and toes crossed.
Its only round 2 but I’ve seen enough to suggest we will be there come September. With talent to come back into the side (Terepo, Jennings and Brown) I’m harder than a virgin on his honeymoon.
Strap yourselves in ladies and gentlemen, it’s going to be a great ride.
Yeeeeehahh.....
Look out, Frank’s drunk on unicorn juice !!!!
Frank The Tank, Agree mate. We look a different team. One with courage and soul. It's a great feeling.
I also wonder: What does this mean for Arthur's future here?
Haha Frank you big unicorn.
Next week will be the acid test. I don't expect to win but I'd like to see the Eels push the Chooks for the entire game.
I'm happy for the moment but, a flogging can quickly undo all the hard work. The Roosters will be looking to dimantle us, like they have in the past.
Sivo is a worry, this game will make or break him. Cronk, Keary and Tupo won't miss him. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sivo dropped.
I actually expect us to win, the Chooks are struggling a bit. They are missing Fergo a lot more than I suspect they thought they would, they have struggled getting their sets started much in the same way we did last year.
Souths handled them comfortably and Manly pushed them despite being outgunned on paper.
It might be the unicorn juice talking, but I actually believe we’re gonna win.
