RD16: Parramata Eels Vs Newcastle Pirtek Stadium 3pm 29/6/14

[crocodile]

If they're bringing Alex McKinnon, we should bring Adam Ritson, Lauren Huxley and kids from the the hospice @ Bear Cottage Westmead.

Bear Cottage is in Manly

 

[The Elephant In The room]

This game will either set is up for a big run at the 8, or will be the start of our season ending fade out, so there's no pressure on the boys.......

I think we'll win by 20.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

The knights are dreadful. We don't deserve to be in the 8 if we don't win this.

Yeah they're dreadful....so dreadful that more than half their side has played origin

They've underachieved up to now but they're no where near a dreadful side.

I'll go for Option C, that regardless of this result, we'll bounce b/w wins/losses against the average teams (winning 60% of them), and get fisted by Souths in our remaining games, and end out in a very tight race for the bottom end of the 8.

Yeah you're right, they're awesome.

If we win this week, then beat the bye (first time in a long time that I'm confident of that ), it would be disappointing to miss the 8 given I think we have a decent draw for the run home (albeit bugger all games at Pirtek). 5 games against the bottom 3 sides and only 2 against top 4 sides.

Late Mail

The Eels are expected to be 1-17, with Darcy Lussick (knee) cleared to return and Will Hopoate (shoulder) not named and racing the clock to be fit for Origin III.
Adam Clydsdale (knee) and David Fa’alogo (back) face fitness tests for the Knights, with Joseph Tapine named as cover.

Eels v Knights

Eels: Origin star Will Hopoate is unlikely to be a late inclusion due to his shoulder injury, meaning the Eels would be 1-17.


Knights: Hooker Adam Clydsdale is battling a knee injury and David Fa'alogo has a back injury, and both are yet to be confirmed starters. Joseph Tapine is on standby, with Tyrone Roberts likely to come into the starting side if Clydsdale drops out.

Some people aren't happy unless they can divide the world into goodies and baddies.

It is absurd to divide people into good or bad. They are either charming or tedious.

f**ken simpletons

 

[Maroubra Eel]

'Middle half'

Or do you reckon Arthur's gets the shits every week when Paulo fails to follow the instruction to just tuck it under his arm and run?

Sounds like a Kearney gameplan.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

That's where Arthur's learned to coach. He was here in 2011 and 2012 when we signed Paulo and most of the current squad.

 

[Malabar Eel]

This weeks game plan should have 95% focus on not knocking on while trying to play the f*&kn ball.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

That's where Arthur's learned to coach. He was here in 2011 and 2012 when we signed Paulo and most of the current squad.

He learned how not to coach.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It's all part of the learning process.

Take your Kearney man crush bullcrap elsewhere, merkin.

 

[oldmancraigy]

More revisionist history!

He learned to coach in the Storm system (2007-2010).
Most definitely saw how to c**k it all up here (2011-12)
Then gained insight into another good coaching system with Manly (2013)

Success breeds success, and failure perpetuates itself from the top down.

Thankfully most of the current juniors were in the SG Ball squad during Anderson's tenure, and we brought him back just in time to fix the mess that big face and angry-ant had made.
To be fair to angry-ant, he started undoing much of the mess that big face had made with his wildly popular overhead projector speech.
To be fair to big face, the crappy juniors were a result of appointing Rod Reddy, and he started fixing that by bringing in Nolan.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Good post Oldman.

How many of the current squad were contracted before Kearney?

Hayne
Sio
Morgan
Loko
Mannah
Allgood
Moimoi

The rest were first signed by Kearney, Stuart or Arthur's.
