I'd take Lussick over Burgess any day.

Absolutely, why the hell would Barrett pick him

 

[eagles4eva]

It's a shame Zorba does what he does mate. How does he wield so much power? Wasn't he sacked from manly a few years ago after making a pass at Megan Barnhard after a judiciary hearing?

Yep he was, threatened legal action and the power brokers saved his fat bacon

 

[Sea_Eagles_Rock]

The Penns and Zorba destroyed this club... they recruited terribly and appointed Barrett as coach... DCE Contract was a joke, again the Penns wanted him

We did need a clean out. Pushing all in on DCE was always a huge risk. So far it isn't looking good. The Walker experiment is done for me. He needs to play centre. He seems to be in D already tonight with Matai out.

Lussick the brutal is underrated.

Agreed, Lyon has lost some pace, perfect for 5/8

How far have these 2 teams fallen since 2013, seriously?

Yeah we are up now but I've no confidence in our ability to defend this lead or out score Manly in the 2nd half either. It's a coin toss at this stage.

Early season with new personnel. I don't get the sky is falling attitude about either club atm. Pearce, Maloney, Jennings, RTS and JWH, you couldn't expect not to miss a beat after those losses.

 

[Sea_Eagles_Rock]

FMD. Jorge and catching.

 

[GongPanther]

Tah-foo-ahhh!:lol:

Well that's 3 soft tries. Walker isn't looking strong in D.

 

[Rhyno]

Nice

 

[eagles4eva]

lol, that's terrible, how much did we play walker???

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Rooters look like they're getting better as the game progresses

 

[lafai]

Buhrer is made of glass

 

[GongPanther]

One-armed Ferguson scores.

16-8 to Easts after 46 mins

 

[eagles4eva]

Barrett the supercoach...Tooves would be laughing his butt off

Halve those guys aren't ever coming back though, so it's hardly a temporary problem.

 

[GongPanther]

Buhrer is made of glass

Is he the one that copped the broken had?

 

[lafai]

Is he the one that copped the broken had?

Yep, on his first game back since breaking his jaw in the 9s

 

[GongPanther]

Barrett the supercoach...Tooves would be laughing his butt off

To be fair,he was the much cheaper option.

 

[GongPanther]

Yep, on his first game back since breaking his jaw in the 9s

He is becoming the Brett Papworth of the 2000's.
