Rd2: 530pm Eels v Sharks GAME DAY THREAD @ Shark Park 19/3/22

How did that ease the f**ken pressure? Merkins were talking all week that Jake Arthur being dropped proved it was the reason we lost ffs.

And you're right, we didn't lose, but you'd never f**king know it listening to the whingers.

As for Cartwright, it hasn't just been Jake Arthur named ahead of him. Whatever's going on with Cartwright it's well within character for him to shit the bed and find himself on the outer at a club. Nobody ever doubted his talent but he's already been moved on from two clubs. Could he be about to make it three? You wouldn't bet your house against it. A lot could've happened between Tuesday and game day.

Do you think Bryce Cartwright went up to Jake Arthur and laughed at him while yelling “See you were the reason we lost!” which made Young Jake go tell his dad causing Cartwright to be dropped and Arthur to be reinstated?

 

[Gary Gutful]

The same people arguing for us to include Cartwright will be the same ones to shitbag BA for picking him when he inevitably f**ks something up within about 5 mins of being on the field.

On hear they were, not so much in the media (including social media)

I want him in the team. How hard can it be to follow a f**king gameplan ffs. Fourth tackle inside the red zone do whatever the f**k you want. Otherwise your job is to run your lines and get a quick play-the-ball. Only offload if you can see the merkin you're passing to and he isn't surrounded by defenders.

I thought he was good. One mistake doesn't ruin a performance just because it had more significance to the narrative. It's like missed tackles that lead to tries. They're just missed tackles ffs. The fact it led to a try doesn't make it a worse miss. The try was the team's fault not the individual who made the mistake.

Too small Ray Stone missed zero tackles ( he was on his Pat Malone there ), and made more post contact meters, and averaged more meters / run than Paulo.

But he gave away a shit penalty.

Wow - good stuff.

I honestly didn't notice him, and I am a fan of his.

Forgot to tell everyone but I was at the game and it is without doubt the worst suburban ground in the comp. Right up there with Brookvale. Things I noticed from the ground is just how much bigger everyone is and they looked slow although it was a very dead track and the grass appeared to be too long.

Mahoney has amazing service from dummy half. The way we stand in attack however just seems off compared to other teams.

I thought Gutherson was shit and looked very slow. Not his best game. Again Moses showed why he is our best. Dylan Brown is also not utilised to his strengths.

Simonnson has been disappointing in both games now.

 

[Avenger]

Awful ground. I’m not going back.

We can agree on all that.

Out of our available players who would you have had as our final reserve?

 

[Bandwagon]

I reckon by the end of the year, we'll regret losing him to Creeping Death and the Dolphins.

He isn’t that small at all. Great build.

 

[Suitman]

At least there's plenty of otto bins.

I agree, shit place full of shit fans.
You would expect Eels or Wests or Panthers to have the shittest fans, but the two grounds that I have seen the shittest supporters over the years are Cronulla and Brookvale.
Absolute f**king grubs.
Two grounds that I'll never go back to. Ever.

Part and parcel of the point there.

The footy crowd and the crowd later where I went to dinner at Cronulla with friends is so different. My mate stayed over the weekend and he lives at Newport. Mad Parra Supporter too. We go to the footy and everyone either looks like a bogan or a drug dealer. We lose after the siren and we leave disgusted. We then go to the Pines and meet our wives for dinner and it’s heaven and earth.

...until we get home and find out our house has been robbed and cars stolen...

Cartwright.

Plenty of things cost a team over 80 minutes. The final, most memorable thing really isn't the most important, as Arthur's said in the presser. Our first half was far worse than the final five minutes.

False. This is like saying in cricket someone on 99 should take the same risks as someone on 67. Of course you would be more carefull.
With 2 mins to go its time to completely switch on in this situation as one bad play could cost you the game without a chance to strike back. Concentration had to be at a premium.
With 30 to go and the same scoreline you could afford not to have the same concentration level. Because you still have time to change the ending.

If that's what BA is telling them he is a massive peanut and should be fired on spot.

Lately your timing has been off.
