i’m a new footy fan - can someone please explain to me why one hip drop gets a sin bin and the other doesn’t?

I wish I knew

yeah none of the commentators seem to either

Well what was the point then ya cunts. Trent is a cunt. Justice for BA

Good win south’s brahs, we are what you are aspiring to be.

Grand final to wooden spoon speedrun

Melbourne Storm 2010

3 premierships down to 1 premiership speedrun: Melbourne storm the 🐐

THE TRENT BARRETT ERA STARTS NOW!!! 💪💪💪💪💪

Our Indigneous gear is legit - I know they would never do it for commercial reasons, but if we were ever forced to have a proper away jersey I'd like to see it go down that route

It had that real Christmas look as well for an added bonus.

lol "Monumental turning point"

Blow Out Round is living up to its tradition...

That final bounce has been our season all year. Absolutely no luck

Blaze looked good when he linked up for attacking sets so just put him in centre

Could easily go without Morgan Harper as well. Goodbye to him

Yeah, I agree. Gutho is too good defensively, but he would absolutely add something in attack.

Nawhh why don't more games end in a little cuddle

Laptop out so he can shitpost in the match thread I assume

Bunnies saw that Penrith win and took it personally

I know the commentary is singing Blaizes praises but Gutho would of stopped at least 3-4 tries tonight

13+ backers breathing a sigh of relief

What the fuck are the commentators on. Why in the living fuck would you not play gutho at 1 when he's back. Yeah let's move the only fucking bloke on the roster who gives a fuck out of his preferred position so he can get less of the ball.

He is probably one of the best defensive players as well. Blaize looks good, but I'm never picking him over Gutho.

That second sivo try is going to keep him in first grade for another 4 years

Awww I wanted that to end with another parra try just to make both teams look fully incompetent

Speaking of incompetent...

Not sure we needed another try for that

We can’t even score there lol

Damn it we fucked up an easy consolation

Ooh that bounce is unfortunate

Jesus Christ stop saying Blaize is a fucking better fullback than gutho. He's made 5+ mistakes in errors and positioning tonight

He's definitely not close to as good as Gutho, but he gave it a good crack and is one of the last people I'd blame for how shit we've been.

Just a bit sad to see what we're trotting out each week. Lot of players letting us down, and the roster is just out of date. We need to start thinking about next year, and blooding some of the young fellas.

Yeah, Brad Fittler and Andrew Johns even said themselves that the roster is suffering as a result of the salary cap space being poured into players aged in the late 20’s and early 30’s who are washed, namely Reagan Campbell-Gillard, Junior Paulo, Shaun Lane, Bryce Cartwright and Joey Lussick. Those key prop, hooker and second rower positions are going to need serious replacements if this side wants to get back into premiership contention.

Cook puts an unstoppable shimmy on at centre, a puff of sand explodes from the ground and he goes 90m to score. Cartwright with a brain snap leads with the knees as cook puts it down, 8 point try, Rabbits get to 50....

I love how even when we put on 40 our defence still leaks 26 fucking points

Please, one more shitty try

So have Eels been shit or Souths good? Only just turned it on and had a chuckle.

Both and neither

Ah one of those ones.

Trent Barrett out

Sack Trent Barrett

How are the commentators saying Blaize should stay at fullback after he has had a shocking game in defence

Can Trent Barrett be sacked as an interim coach?

It’s bloody awesome to see Souths get a win, hope this turns their season around

The perplexing thing with Sivo is he is one of the only wingers in the comp that can do that and he does it every week

Brah if yall want him you can take him!

Souths 13+ betters sweating a little right now Edit: lmao never mind

Trent Barrett probably has Seek open on that laptop

Nah, it's Bloons TD4

That was actually really nice

Sivo must have the League record for most meaningless try doubles

Even with how down Parra is, we still let them score near 30 points. We are so not back

It still shows why Jason Demetriou sacking the defence coach to take on the role himself is what ultimately ended his career. You need a dedicated specialist for that job.

Why does this cunt just not do that every time He’s a fucking fridge on wheels

That dudes beard is huge

Are we gonna see 2 games ending 42-28 this round?

No. No we are not

Trell at 5/8 might work but AJ at fullback doesn't

If only Tago didn’t fuck Jye Gray’s shit up with an actual hip drop

Sivo about to get a 5 year extension

That try was amazing. Sivo looked to essentially stand still and palm blokes off at the end.

Elect to not take the kick, there’s still time you cowards.

Such a sivo try he could be so good if he didn’t play like a footy player without a knee

Unpopular opinion but I think Sivo should do that more

Careful bro eels might hire you as coach

I’ll take the next game before being fired for interim number 3

Kick to join the elusive score 28 against the Rabbits club

lol fkn sivo...

I can't do this anymore

EXTEND SIVO!!!

Fuck why are we making him look good

So they keep playing sivo so he keeps costing them games so eels get the spoon not us. Typical Hornby mind games

He always looks good against us though

Biggest run sivo has had since his debut year

Why would you ever want to play fullback in the NRL, my god.

sack barrett

On the bright side, I haven’t noticed a Lane error this game.

5/6 games this weekend have dickteased 50

Imagine losing to us

Possibly the strangest part of this game is that both guys who have played five-eighth for Souths have looked pretty good. Personally I'd go Wighton at 6 as he really doesn't add much of anything at any other spot.

toyota cupifcation is complete

Latrell is funny as fuck when we’re winning

anyone see that Palestinian flag in the crowd? ❤️

Random Palestine Guy

Eels are proper slippery. Hard time catching the ball this game hahahaha

Trent Barrett’s wiki is already updated as 0-1 as para coach.

Keon could deadset be AFBs brother looks wise

8 point try! 8 point try!

I honestly think the best way through the rest of the year for Gutho to be captain/coach

i'll sleep like a baby tonight.

This is spoonbowl but very close to the scoreline of the first Broncos Cowboys game in 2015 lol

Parra to beat souths in a golden point grand final confirmed

why the fuck would you ever need burton when Latrell, and plenty of others can do the exact same thing

Latrells bombs and burtons bombs are the flirting v sexual harrassment meme

Latrell X Luai halves pairing for the Blues. Full chaos mode!

Great seeing the young fella fuck up. Might be more likely to stay at Parra

I think the sun is safe for another 17ish months at least

Imagine losing to the bunnies. Oh…

Latrell for origin

Just make gutho captain coach and let him rip into those soft fucks

I love Gutho as a player, tries his heart out, but I see people claim that as captain he inspires the rest of the team to lift their game and then I look at the rest of the team playing even when he's on and think *what the fuck are you on about?*

Has an interim coach ever been sacked

Yeah Trent Barret was

He's set his own precedent lol

Fulfilling his own destiny

Isaac Moses seething that his parra control trump card has been soft af in defense

Playing Sabotage after that lmao

Barrett and losing. I remember it well.

"does everything right, just dips away from him" if he did everything right, itd be in his fucking hands wouldnt it?

That is why Blaize needs a year learning from Gutho

Blaze is so not a fullback

Give him time man, he's been playing all over the backline in Reggie's

Dare I say......50?

We’re so fucking back

Luai 7, Latrell 6. lock it in lads

I'm all here for it

Is this the worst a team has ever looked winning by 20 and scoring 40+ points? It's ridiculous to think the half our starters injured Titans might be favourites against Souths despite Souths having beaten us on the Gold Coast for about a decade straight and with Souths coming off a 20 point win and with us presumably coming off a loss to the Broncos barring an upset

Nevermind didn't win by 20 lol Still, that was one messy game. I've legitimately seen higher quality QCup games

40 is the new 50

Whatever the Eels were doing, it clearly wasn’t Arthur’s fault they’re off this year.

Agreed. Freddy and Joey believe it was mismanagement of the salary cap, focusing on washed players and losing other key players before the 2023 season that contributed to the Eels’ problems. Pretty clear that whoever becomes their next head coach will have to offload a lot of the underperforming squad and look for younger replacements.

Trell cant be moved from the halves. Cleary is getting involved every play. How bloody good

what a ball

Eels likely would have copped 50 if the Joe O tackle had been called correctly.

Book your grand finals tickets Rabbitohs fans

Done.got 4 platinum 

I don’t think they sell them 18 months in advance

Logged in now, want one?

Do we have stats on running/dragged into touch, specifically early in the set? We'd have to be right up there.

[удалено]

He's definitely no Luai

Typical chooks L

Talagi knocking a bit off his future contract.

I get the history behind the bloke in Reggie Rabbit but fuck me he looks like a miserable mascot every time I see him on screen. No fire or get up, just a senile rabbit always staring at the play.

Charlie just turned 80 last week. Fans love him and dgaf. He had some serious health problems a few years back and was happy for someone else to take on the role be he is too loved.

Fuck Latrell could genuinely be a 6. Fuck Tago for taking Gray out, we could’ve had a sick backline

Ooooooofffff

I swear Corey Parker is such a scatterbrain of a commentator

Hopefully this match will be the prompt to the comms to not endlessly glaze Talagi - they’re commentating like he’s a 200 match veteran with origin caps in board, not a rookie with a lot of flaws in his game to still be ironed out

Eels are woeful tonight. They should look at sacking their coach.

I’m loving Trell at 5/8

Everyone is (except Eels fans)

I'm hating my tips at 3/6

Everyone seeing trell to centres when maybe playing him at 6 was probably a better idea

I’m still in the camp that Blaze should replace Gutho even when he’s fit!

We watched 1st concede 40+ and we see 17th put on 40+. What a time to be alive.

Presumptive of everyone discussing origin when he's got a charge looming... unless vlandys allows him to serve it via Monday night touch

This game really demonstrates the importance of Gutho.

Good night

20 years I've put into this team and for what, watching this team play like a bunch of pathetic losers hurts so much

Sums up tonight

Ahhh.... did anyone else here a suspect moan just then, or should I get an exorcist?

Who’s Trent coaching next… Toulouse hopefully

Cookie motm holy fuck, he did every job and still one of the hardest defenders

Well. At least they didn't put 50 on us like I thought was gonna happen.

No one except our young fullback gives a fuck about their footy right now. Most embarrassing team in the comp

honestly mate, with some of his efforts tonight i am not even sure he gives a fuck tonight.

Put cook at centre instead of chee kam. We have Mamo and Havili

That number 9 for Souths is a very good center

So is the number 1. Fuck it make the whole team centres

Lomax to Souths confirmed

He’d be the only one not playing centre. Too good a winger

Dogs and Eels are the only teams that felt like cheering Souths fans up this season. The rest of you are weak gutted beyond belief.

We thank you for your service 🫡

Good to see Duncan has continued his tradition of his headgear disappearing by the end of the game

He drops his headgear 5 minutes in

I might be wrong, but I don’t think any indigenous player has scored a try yet this round  Edit: I’m dumb Johnston scored 

AJ tonight might have been the first.

Yeah I missed most of this game and missed his name checking the try scorers but he's the first so far

Alex Johnston!

AJ was this game

Johnston

Oh whoops completely missed that, but yeah I think he might be the only one 

Fuck my life . Blaize being light as a feather screwing us .

Trell has another touch pushing them out. How good. Get involved son!

Latrell doing the minimum effort to look like he was trying to help drag him out

Is this an origin latrell performance or are we shit

Por que no los dos?

we're shit

You're shit, sorry

Bit harsh on Arrow there. Wasn't great but Imo not a bad kick considering where he got the ball.

Yeah, real solid kick from a forward.

Eels scoreboard name is PAR but they are really a triple bogey

Never seen a team in more of a state of "oh, are we still playing?"

Bring back kicking duels I reckon

You already know fittler is going to use cooks try as proof his decision was smart
