Sharks have scored 15pts from 8 turnovers.... Exactly! Not even as if we're turning the ball over with fast breaking. Awful put ins from the sidelines sometimes. It's been our Achilles heel all this season. |

Before the game started I would have been surprised if we won
Is this a crisis someone asked above?
It kind of doesn't matter at the moment what results we get I guess
It's whether we can gel a team to win a trophy and challenge to win the playoffs
Being honest even with improvement (which we will get) I'm not sure we can improve enough to win something
Anyway I'm glad I've said that
As it probably gives us more chance of coming back and winning tonight!!
Lol

I'm watching the Eagles game on Sky Sports on TV. It's a really good show. Taylor's a good guest presenter.

23 points from our turnovers and nearly double our number of assists.
That's not good. Not going to win many games playing like that.

We look demoralised at the end of the game. Not sensing a lot of belief in Riders atm. Didn't feel as if we'd ever overcome Sharks. They were much more composed and took better care of the ball. Not convinced we can play smarter. Too much individualism and not enough team ball.

That was painful to watch as a Riders faithful
But
Next Saturday Vs Giants is superhero theme night……Hopefully we can sign the Hulk as a replacement for Bridges.

We look demoralised at the end of the game. Not sensing a lot of belief in Riders atm. Didn't feel as if we'd ever overcome Sharks. They were much more composed and took better care of the ball. Not convinced we can play smarter. Too much individualism and not enough team ball. Welcome to being an Eagles fan for the last 2 seasons cause that was how we felt until now. However tonight another great win for the Eagles tonight on Sky as well. Did Patriots play better then last week? Slightly yes since they kept it close until the mid 3rd Quarter. But they also made some many clumsy turnover and missed so many easy chances such as easy chance layups which any other team would have made us pay for. By the end of the game even the kids for the Eagles started to out play them when even Kande managed strip one of their big guys of the ball. I felt in the 2nd Quarter Spencer Levi did a great job until we stopped him then both Green and (Patriots) Johnson stepped up as well. And at the beginning of the 3rd when they took the lead briefly I was worried that we were going lose our grip on this one and it all go horribly wrong. However once we regained control and saw the easy shots Plymouth missed I felt confident we had this one sealed. As for the Eagles it felt good to see we finally give Spencer as well a lot of minutes as well and are starting to get our moneys worth out of him. I hope we can start getting him involved more often and the team continues to get better. Overall as a team I felt we played well and it was a good team effort that got us through. Apart from giving Patriots a few to easy chances there wasn't alot that concerned me with the team tonight. And I did wonder whether it was a case of bad turn overs/defence or whether we were dropping gears in order to conserve for tommorow nights challenge against the Gladiators. After tonights win I look forward to tommorows game on Youtube and with naff all on in the footy this weekend. Our away gsme against Glads should make for perfect Saturday night entertainment Let's hope we can go and extend this 4-0 win streak to 5-0 before we face the Lions again next week. Well done Eagles!🥳🏀 |

Great team game at last - JJ got the headlines, but JWH only one rebound off a double double as well, and Delpeche finally slotting into place. If they carry on like this, Austin will have real problems getting back in !

Sharks still have a lot of work to do to build their fan base. They don't help themselves allowing their dj (who seems to have musical tourettes) to play the cheesiest music possible every 15 seconds of the game. |

If they carry on like this, Austin will have real problems getting back in ! Thought Eagles played well within themselves tonight, obviously with an eye on tonight's game up in Scotland. Easy to do against a shocking Plymouth team. Easily the worst team I've seen here this season. |

Good game for Sharks, felt in control throughout and got contributions from everyone. Stewart is a great offensive spark off the bench. Koch had an efficient night although I feel he could be more aggressive going to the bucket - there was one point where he'd caught and held the ball in the post for a couple of seconds before he realized he was unguarded and layed it in! I also feel Pipkins could impose himself on games more - but that shot!!!
I wasn't wowed by Ramsey last season - seemed to be out of control and playing outside the flow of the offense - but he has really elevated his game this year. His decision making and defence is excellent and gets crucial buckets at crucial times. RJ added something different when he was on court but minutes for everyone are limited because of the improved depth this year.
Riders were physical and crushed us on the offensive boards but at times lacked cohesion - to be expected from a largely rookie team. Don't have much of an inside threat outside of their guards. Thomas and McKenzie were excellent.

Thomas and McKenzie were excellent. Agree with you that Sharks always looked in control. I never thought at any point that we'd move ahead and win last night. Reckless passing and put-ins meant Sharks could capitalise and keep us under pressure with at least a 5 point cushion. Also agree that we need better big guys to threaten inside the paint. We're short handed but I imagine Paternostro had someone lined up before cutting Bridges. Sooner a proper centre's brought in to help out Walker the better. |
