    They prepare contingencies for every injured or sent off player when they name the team on Tuesday. They have a plan. They don’t just think it up on the spot. If plan B is bad it means plan C would be worse.

    Rd 2 2024: 8pm Penrith v Eels GAME DAY THREAD @ Bluebet Stadium March 15th

    It would look very much like not knowing what you’re doing. Think of it like punting. If you back a team at $3 you shouldn’t be surprised when they lose. Likewise, losing on that bet doesn’t mean you were wrong or didn’t know the odds, any more than winning means you knew they were going to...

    No, I just start with the assumption that they know what they’re doing. Every decision carries risk and there is always the opportunity cost of all the alternate options that didn’t happen. This is obvious, and no coach knows how his decisions will pan out when confronted with the opposition...

    Taylor seems to be doing just fine without it.

    I tell myself I’m smart but really, what kind of f**king idiot would still be posting here after all these years?!?

    My mate recently went over to see Taylor Swift with his wife. They stayed in Parramatta. Brought me back a t-shirt.

    Yep. We’re obviously not a poor club. We have more resources than the Tigers or Titans, for example. Our record over the past five years suggests we are better resourced than most clubs. But there is no chance we are one of the biggest. We would’ve done a lot better since 1986 if that were the case.

    Merkins around here are going to love those ‘cheaper options’

    With three minutes to go I’d say running out of interchanges wasn’t going to be the difference between winning and losing.

    Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

    I suppose at this point of the season they will be a lot cheaper than if we’d signed them prior to November. Which makes you wonder why their existing club would let them go. f**k paying a bloke to do the preseason and get fit enough for some other club to benefit from the business end of the...

    Consider this: It’s not the number of bench minutes that limits our ability to interchange players, it is the number of interchanges. There are plenty of minutes. Nobody plays too many of them over the 80 minutes. What causes fatigue is having to play too many minutes without a break. If they...

    Because we knew we wouldn’t need it for an emergency later on.

    I would say Dylan Brown is too important in his current position in the defensive line to consider replacing with a player who has no experience there. Teams build their defensive systems around the strengths of the players they have, and the footy smarts of their halves are taken into account...

    Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

    If it’s elite backs you want, you might like our number 6. He is pretty good, and no doubt very expensive. I’d say we might have the most expensive halves in the NRL. Maybe we should have saved some money there and signed the elite outside back you might be referring to.

    Penisini is borderline elite already and only 22 years old. Sivo has an elite tryscoring record and is very safe in the air. We are missing him big time.

    No, just don’t like trolls writing off our season in round two ffs. Go somewhere else and tell them they’re wasting their time giving a shit about the 2024 NRL season. f**kwit.
