:crazy:
No Matter what we do, or say now, we as supporters or Fans of the club can only have a limited input into the club. We have our Players for the year, we have our coach. So we are going to have to stick by them this year. If that means another failed year then we are going to have to suffer through it, because our course is set. Our course doesn't have to be for next year but it may be shaping up that way as well. It is a frustrating thing. We put our faith in the clubs staff to bring us the premiership our club desires. They put their faith in the players, then we see the soulless 2nd half performance in last weeks game.
Now some have said to me, our attack looked Terrible in the first half, we had no shape we were not running lines. Quite Frankly I don't care about that. What I cared about was our Defensive effort, which starting from Anasta's try started to fade and looked limp when Ben Smith Hobbled off.
What happened to the Eels that used to single out their man. Each one of the pointing at the man they were going to take.
What happened to the Eels that used to Run up in one line and attack with our own defense.
I remember times when the opposition would make a mistake, in fielding our kick and be trapped in the 10, we would then work hard for 5 tackles to make sure they didn't get past the 30 before their kick. We never gave up easy metres. Now if we fix our defense we can start to be "in" games with a shot. If that means relying on some ad-lib football for points then so be it, but lets not be ad-lib in defense.
Let us attack with our defense, and maybe just maybe we as fans might see something that we want to see. A Team that shows some sort of Pride in the Colours and the Logo. Some one that shows the same sort of Pride for the Colours and the Logo that I do. That is all we can do at the moment, hope for our clubs players to show some mental toughness and some fire in the belly or else this is going to turn in to 2004 real quick.
