Sold out crowd (25k+), old boys day with Netsky at halftime.

Should be a good evening at Go Media, cant wait

 

[VB89]

Netsky at halftime is pretty sweet.

Wonder if the girls holding up the Wahs jersey @ John Summit @ Tommorowland a few weeks ago will be there ?

Win tonight, and Webby is one step closer to being the only coach we've had to take us multiple top 4 finishes

Just win baby

 

[Bluecat]

Given our form over the last couple of months I'm not confident.
Warriors 12 and under?

This has a banana skin game feel about it.

This has a banana skin game feel about it.

Every game this year has had a banana skin game feel about it.

You're not wrong lol

 

[FormerlyJamesW]

You're not wrong lol

I think that says more about us than the actual capability of the team.

Mega amounts of imposter syndrome floating around.

 

[Lord Gnome of Mooloolaba]

Oi, Eels - you slaaags!

 

[Po11um]

The goal & focus should be on making the top4 & the warriors should annoy any surrounding noise. Warriors by 2

 

[Wah's Up]

Since Moses came back the Eels have played well.
Still think (even with our injury toll) we beat them +13

 

[sup42]

The draw has worked out well for us. A run of three games at the tail end against decent opposition (forget about ladder positions, the Titans were a problem that needed to be overcome and the Eels and Manly are playing well atm).

We needed tough but winnable games to give us some preparation for the finals.

For and against no longer matters, we just need to win. I have us underdogs given the Eels recent red hot form.

The Eels recent form saw them beat the Broncos, Roosters, lose by six against Melbourne (16-10) beat the Cowboys. They're looking for more than just playing spoilers, off that form they are eyeing setting themselves up for a competitive 2026.

Forget the noise and focus on the performance. We played our tactics to a tee for about 60 minutes last week. Need to nail an 80 minute performance before finals. Do that and we'll be too good for them. The faithful deserve a statement performance to finish the year.
