Rd22: EELS v Storms GAME DAY THREAD @ Marvel Stadium 28/7/23

[the phantom menace]

How many more games left? Just so I can relax and not put up with this rubbish.

Only 4.

Dragons at home
Broncos away
Roosters at home
Penrith away

2 definite losses, and 2 games that by rights we should have won - but could both easily go the other way for 0-4.

Paulo is a pretender, tbh.

How he is co-captain, I'll never understand...

Sad thing is Penrith will rest their players and their reserves would beat us

Just like Melbourne rested a chunk of their team tonight.

It’s the 2nd last round, don’t think they’ll rest anyone

If the club had any backbone they should be going to the NRL tomorrow and telling them to get there arse to Melbourne on Monday and removing those 2 * trophies from the scum hole of a joint.

What they did tonight celebrating 07 & 09 prmeierships with the trophies on the ground was nothing short of disgraceful and if the NRL had clearly had any spine as well they should be fining them another 100k for continuing to celebrate the scam it was.

The standards at this club are appalling, thats the only way an absolute spanner like Bald Arthur would be our longest serving coach. If he really gave a shit about the club he'd stand down at the end of the year. But why would he?? He needs to get little Matty Arthur a career like his brother did.

RCG should be and not him

Why wouldn't the coach use that as motivation??? Oh thats right silly me thats not a coaches job apparently.

 

[Gazzamatta]

But he played in a grand final last year..

That whole left side has been fu*ked defensively since Waqa returned. Nobody is doing their job. They are all looking elsewhere covering Waqa. How this guy gets selected is a huge negative against BA. Waqas form in reserve grade was abysmal. Regretably BA got what he asked for by selecting this fraud.

Gutho leadership was questioned 2 years ago.

It cant be anymore.

Junior should stand down at end of year and hand back full reins to Gutho.

Even though I feel it's more of a token gesture anyway we all know Gutho is actually the captain out there. I don't think Junior has spoken to the ref outside of being put on report.

 

[Bandwagon]

I reckon that's the worst goal line defence I've seen from any team in any game this year, it really was abysmal.

BA was in Melbourne in 2009 he probably feels like they won the comps fair and square.

they tried mate…. It’s all you can ask

 

[Gazzamatta]

I'd rather put Davey on the wing than this lazy idiot. Fair dinkum he wouldnt look any better in the NSW Cup side.

He didnt

Goal line defense by the eels? I didn’t see any

 

[hineyrulz]

The only way he's ever win anything is cheating, thats the only reason we won the 9's in 2016. Besides a spoon of course,

Not the coaches job mate, not much is i think.

Exactly

The 2016 Auckland nines is a legitimate trophy now.

f**k the NRL they clearly don't give a f**k.

Why don't the club send a message matto style to the NRL in 2026 for a 10 year anniversary and do a lap of honour with the trophy and shove it up there arses like the storm have.

Clearly nothing will happened.
