Rd8 2024: Eels v Manly GAME DAY THREAD @ 4 Pines Park April 26

[DaveMc]

I would keep Matto at Second row and put Carty on in place of Lane..
Move Lane to the middle

Moving Lane to the middle of Redfern or the Gold Coast or Canterbury would be preferable

 

[emjaycee]

Whatever you do, protect the coach…

Could be the players and the coach mate... have you considered that?

 

[Wally21]

Or @84 Baby and I are the only ones on the forum that aren't sheep.

If I understand you correctly, those that disagree with you and Pou are sheep?
Wow.

 

[JokerEel]

Could be the players and the coach mate... have you considered that?

Yep need to move both players and coaches and some other officials on

I don't think Lane can do middle. He was a f**king cream puff out there tonight, and every week this year.

Agree Matterson still has value at second row/edge - and more than Lane. I'm just more worried about our front rowers... I think Paulo and RCG are badly off the pace and we have next to no-one who can rack up decent minutes there to cover their decline.

F this team and F this coach.
So friggin dumb.

 

[lucablight]

No it's lack of resources. We have sacked heaps of coaches since 1986. That's what NO EXCUSES FFS!!! looks like.

Since our last premiership 13 out of 16 clubs (not including the Dolphins) have won it at some stage. Does that mean we’ve been bottom 3 in terms of available resources since that time?

 

[Wally21]

Could be the players and the coach mate... have you considered that?

Yes, many here are saying that we need to make changes to the front office, the coaching staff and the roster.

 

[DaveMc]

Stability, stability, stability

Seriously the embarrassing performance last week has made people accept tonight was good enough.

Was it really we had a decent 50 mins but crumbled in the 2nd half.

It’s doing my head in. An improvement on utter dogshit can still be mild dogshit. Which is, at our best, what is being dished up over 80 minutes at the moment.

 

[emjaycee]

If I understand you correctly, those that disagree with you and Pou are sheep?
Wow.

Nah not quite. I don't always agree with Pou but I also don't blindly agree with nearly everyone else.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Actually, I am probably not better than that and to be honest, I don't know why he is labelled a troll.
My understanding of a troll is someone who post shit to purposely upset people. Not someone who post their own opinions that just don't happen align with the general group thought.

Ignore them mate. They are a nasty little group looking for someone to vent their frustrations on. I'm here for (pseudo-) intellectual discussion. I'm not here to make friends.

 

[The Predictor]

B

Or @84 Baby and I are the only ones on the forum that aren't sheep.

But you follow Pou….so u really are, and not one of the smart sheep

 

[Soto]

Definitely some players need to go
Lane
Lussick
Ofahengaue

Need some young firebrand grunt in the pack
Get Trey Mooney would be my first forward and Royce Hunt.
Need a hooker.
Need 2 wingers
Need a backup half now sanders is going

Backrow can be
Cartwright, Guymer, Doorey and Matto
Lane needs to be sacked...cut him now..

[Avenger]

Or @84 Baby and I are the only ones on the forum that aren't sheep.

So me having a different opinion to him and being in the overwhelming majority makes the majority and I sheep?

 

[JokerEel]

Agree Matterson still has value at second row/edge - and more than Lane. I'm just more worried about our front rowers... I think Paulo and RCG are badly off the pace and we have next to no-one who can rack up decent minutes there to cover their decline.

Yeah Lane to NSW cup..

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Penrith didn’t miss the finals last season and aren’t going to be 3/8.

Oh I thought we were talking about tonight's game.

 

[JokerEel]

So me having a different opinion to him and being in the overwhelming majority makes me a sheep?

No it just makes you correct

 

[emjaycee]

Ignore them mate. They are a nasty little group looking for someone to vent their frustrations on. I'm here for (pseudo-) intellectual discussion. I'm not here to make friends.

If either of those reasons are really why you're here, then I think you will be disappointed on both counts.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If we have a time-machine take us back to 1984 and we are coming off a 3-peat then yeah sure let's embrace the fact we got beat by 14 against a decent but not great manly side.

You need to take it one game at a time mate.
