Eels in the media

It’s all very exciting.

He said Hayne won't win the 2 km time trials but should be leading (or close to) the 30 m sprints. Said Hayne is getting the Kms in his legs so he can do those 30m / burst more during the game.

I must have tuned out whilst he was talking about this.

“Our expectation of him is that he isn’t going to come here and win a 2km time trial but if we are doing a 20-30m sprint he is going to be in the best couple.”

I wasn't doubting that it had been said. I was just saying that I completely missed him saying it...obviously tuned out concentrating on something happening in the traffic.

You should've put the handbrake on and switched your car off until Arthur was finished talking.

A read about centres:

Interestingly Taka ranks higher then Jennings.

Good article

 

[84 Baby]

So if Taka misses a one on one, Gunco covers his miss but on the next tackle they fling it to the other side where we shot to pieces and Jenko has a 3 on 1 and they pass around him to go over untouched, is that a Jenko try cause (what a dumb name too)?

If the centre is so far out of position that he has no chance of covering his winger or inside man, does that count as a try cause? It's like in baseball, fielders are charged with errors if they f**k up touching the ball (yes yes for baseballers out there, you CAN get error for not touching ball), so basically the slow fat numpty never makes errors because they never come close to the ball

Edit - ok I think they covered themselves on the out of position part. Still my point was more if the centre foresaw say a potential bust by the opposing 2nd rower, moved across "out of position" and then missed a tackle, this is a try cause. Whereas if they'd stayed "in position", it wouldn't have been a try cause but the opposition still would have scored.

I guess what I'm trying to say is rugby league is a team sport and clearly Chambers is the solo man.
And a complete f**ktool

Jennings had to defend next to Moses for a fair chunk of the season as well.
That's going to bring the stats down a bit.

Stats Smats, besides Chambers he is the best defensive centre in the comp.

Yeah, but unlike Chambers, Jennings is also one of the best attacking centres in the comp.

So I'm unbiasedly putting him as the best centre in the game overall.

Also, 'unbiasedly' may not even be a word, but I'm using it anyway.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

If you keep using it it might become a word.

 

[Incorrect]

It's a perfectly cromulent word...

 

[T.S Quint]

I might unbiasedly do so.

Unbiasedly.

Unbiasedly.

I would unbiasedly support that. Although tbh it's kinda like me pushing for The Timmynator. Which is awesome.

Top 7 articles on google about the Eels today are about Fuifui Moi Moi, Brett Finch and Jarryd Mccracken. None are really about us. All articles have just name dropped us so it shows up in searches.

https://www.google.com.au/search?q=...AhUDTLwKHVgDDXkQpwUIFw&biw=1024&bih=653&dpr=2

To save you merkins some time:

• Fui got canned from Toronto after an incident in Portugal. His estranged wife in the USA is pissed off about stuff.

• Brett Finch got married.

• McCracken is in trouble with ASIC. TLDR but I think trading whilst insolvent.

 

[Gary Gutful]

McCraken is an absolute turd.

Eels get clicks.

Mostly from Gronk it seems.
