We had 80mins to score......
Under BA we haven't choked. We won all the games expected and lost the one not expected except the Cowboys loss in 2017.

To be fair, we DID score a legitimate try to Waqa Blake, which the ref called back for a forward pass - which is let go in 9 out of 10 games...

Do we all forget the knights game the week before?
Do we forget Smith’s games at hooker?
If smith plays, there will be complaints about his defence or brain farts and BA stuffed up by not playing Stone after a decent game against the knights…

anyhow Stone made 3 errors from memory and 1 was probably an incorrect call, hardly costing us the game…and his defence probably helps more then Smiths “attack”

Additionally no one is mentioning the 2 penalties Marata gave away - is this worse then the stone error’s?

no one is mentioning the 5 misses tackles, 1 conceded penalty and a crappy 56 m from Lane - is this worse than stones errors ?

Maybe they shouldn’t have been picked…..

nope nothing mentioned, is just all stone as it’s an easy target to put crap on BA!

hide sight is a wonderful thing….

I don’t want to be too critical of the club, because we’ve won 2 semi finals in 9 years, but htf do we have a mass exodus of players, like we’re witnessing?

After initially standing firm with gutho’s management, we buckled to their demands and this seems the after effect. I’m sure if we stood our ground, we’d have enough in the kitty to at least keep one of rheed, ice or matto.

That merkin Gutho is partially responsible for all this. Instead of being the captain and setting an example he absolutely took us to the cleaners.

Anyone saying Hodgson is better than rheed is a dreamer? In which year was he better? 2018/9???? I’m just hopeful Hodgson can actually string 15-16 games together next year.

We’ve certainly dropped our bundle big time. Let’s hope we can actually win it this season, because I can honestly see some very average years coming up.

There would only be a handful of people who would not want Gutho in their spine over rheed, ice or matto.

So I reckon your on the fringe here.

yeah, because all you merkins were wanting stone at 9. It was a diabolical mistake and it shows what BA’s mindset is towards the 9 is. Smith was always capable of doing a job, it was just him kicking that pissed fans off. But defend at all costs.

^^^^^

The Mole seems to have a bit too much goss for this to feel legit. More like his manager is planting the seed ?


Talented former bad boy Kenny Edwards wants to rejoin the Eels in 2023 - but the potential move has split the club.

After losing the nucleus of their forward pack to rival clubs for next year, the coaching and playing group want the 32-year-old back-rower back on board.

But Eels management are baulking at the suggestion due to Edwards' long rap sheet in his six seasons at the club.

We have given many players a second chance at rugby league

Manu, wicks and some others

If he has matured and still hard as. He could be cheap
