Rd10 2024: 8pm Eels v Broncos GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank 10th May

[Avenger]

If Sivo , Lussick and Lane play next week the coach is a bigger dope than I thought he was. Simonsson is fast but has no football smarts. Sanders I'd be trying to offload to Canberra ASAP. I'd take Čotrić or Savage off their hands. I'd also buy Trey Mooney and tap Paulo on the shoulder and tell him it's over. He has been shit this year. RCG is also one I'd consider releasing but only at full freight. Next year they will be even worse and further regress.

Derpy derp?

Murph will be getting worried with an articulated comment like that.

Dumbest quote this year!!!! should we continue paying the coach millions now for missing the 8?

Spot on. I actually don’t think Arthur and the coaching staff are the root cause of the problem. But they’re a very large part of the problem, and continuing to bury our heads in the sand about that is only going to make our rebuild that much harder. He needs to be done yesterday.

 

[JokerEel]

Sivo would have scored tonight if he actually was in position when Sanders throws that ball to no one...

He could have scored when he took the bomb at the end with Walsh hanging onto him..

Then once again there was a chance when Lane decided to run into the cutout ball..

Blaize had a chance to finish with 4 tries tonight had 1 taken off him dropped a ball from Sivo and at the end made they nice break should of just stepped of his left foot.

Simmonson dropped the ball over the line.
Penisini dropped the ball over the line.

Either one of you pissed off the almighty or we just have bad luck..

Haven't watched the game yet, as I had something else on...

But checking over the stats, did RCG really miss 6 tackles? If so, for a middle forward that's almost deserving of a stint in Cup.

He was shithouse again tonight. He needs a rest or an option to leave, permanently.

 

[Bandwagon]

He has talent, it's undeniable.

He's defensively crap, and a liability under a high ball.

He's young, so he will improve, but I'm not sold.

Defensively he was ok, but struggled with effort on effort. But yeah, he''s young, and that will improve.

 

[Noise]

Considering the eels literally made the grand final less than two years ago you’re right. I don’t see the panic stations

From 2nd (2022) to 10th (2023) to bottom 4 by the end of the weekend (round 10 2024). Yea everything is fine.

Just go to bed merkin

Yep….and I will sleep like a baby knowing what a wonderful solid loss this mob produced, night night xx

I don't think his head is in the game, tbh.

I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, due to the years of quality service he has given us.

But I truly think he needs to step away from footy for a bit.

Dumbest quote this year!!!! remind me on whether we should re sign Brad for another couple of mill? If not what’s ur solution?

Which of the old dead factions do you belong to Denis?

Started great the first 10 minutes, and then zip

Missed the top 8 by ONE win. With everything stacked against the eels last year. But let’s just conveniently forget that part

But he'd die for the coach apparently, so there's that.

 

[JokerEel]

By the way - I'm not saying I think Talagi is a bum.

I'm just saying that I don't see greatness in him at this point in time, like many other people do.

It probably suggests that I'm a shit judge of football talent, more than anything.

I clearly see he has a lot of potential.

Before tonight I thought he was just another over hyped kid..

Watched him through the grades coming through as well he was ok as a halfback moved to centre wasn't spectacular. I watched him a few weeks ago in CUP where he was full back and he was terrible at the back didn't look comfortable taking bomb and defence was nothing.

It seriously looked like a different player tonight... He should be kept at fullback until Gutho is 100% Moses will be great for him.

 

[Eelementary]

Yeah, man - that's all I'm saying.

I think he's a talented kid, but I've spoken to people (not on this forum) who see him as the next coming of Hayne, or Lyon.

Thing is, with Hayne, and Lyon, it was apparent very early on in their First Grade careers that they were generational players - they just had "it".

I think Blaize Talagi is a fine player, who will only get better - but right now, personally, I can't see the "it" factor in him.

And that's ok - not even player needs to be a generational talent.

Meh, derp derpy.

Yes, we came 10th. You are obviously satisfied with mediocrity. Some of us want to win.

I can at least go to sleep knowing I know more about footy than one more person in this world. Like I said before you are just an absolute flog with no idea

Based off tonight, of be more than happy to have him play 1 until Gutho returns. He was very, very good.
