Eels in the media

[the phantom menace]

Is it the Pirtek version circa 2009 with a number 1 on the back?? If so, people are probably steering clear of you fearing it's you that'll be doing the sexual assaulting...

 

[Poupou Escobar]

that's such an insight

you went for NSW until they started to dominate and then switched to QLD.

When QLD dominated you switch to NSW.

Wow - you really are a contrarian!

I just like an underdog. It's entertainment ffs. Where's the fun in watching the favourite get up?

If the Eels are the favourite I find it pretty fun.

NRL team news: Parramatta have no experienced playmaker backup after departure of Jake Arthur​

The departure of young halfback Jake Arthur leaves a gap in Parramatta’s playmaking stocks, see how the coach plans to fill it should disaster strike.

Parramatta captain Clint Gutherson could be a surprise option in the halves for the Eels following the departure of playmaker Jake Arthur to Manly.
Eels coach Brad Arthur revealed his back-up plan should regular halves Mitchell Moses and Dylan Brown be unavailable for games this season.
“We’ve got a few options. I will worry about that if we get to it but we might be able to shuffle ‘Gutho’ (Clint Gutherson) around. Daejarn Asi is playing a bit of fullback in (NSW) Cup,” Arthur said. “But I haven’t thought about it,” Brad said.

well he probably should have thought about it prior to letting Jake go

To what benefit does BA have telling the media our future plans/potential plans.

I would not expect BA to answer the question any other way.

well I would have expected a coach to say "We have other options" or something similar

telling everyone you've never thought about it doesn't really instill confidence in him from the fans

Agreed, but he could say something similar without sounding dumb.

 

[Incorrect]

We had no experienced backup playmaker while JA was here. That hasn't changed since he left earlier this week. Where was all the concern from the media up until this week about our lack of "experienced playmakers"?? Fair dinkum

doesnt review attack, doesnt review grand final tape, doesnt think about squad depth, doesnt teach lower grade players the rule book, cant book a bus.........

we aint going to win shit under this guy.....

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Arthur's made some interesting comments about young playmakers in the lower grades who now have an opportunity. He has deadset wiped Jake like a dirty bum: https://www.parraeels.com.au/news/2023/05/24/coachs-media-round-13/

Nah Bea is just playing ducks and drakes in the media, lol.

 

[84 Baby]

I thought he was playing Hungry Hungry Hippos

 

[Gronk]

Unsure why this is in my feed or if he is having a go at us or what.

 

[TheRam]

Hard to disagree - i will say though he is the greatest player i have seen in my 25 years of league and have him above Scam Smith, Thurston, Slater.

In the first couple of years at Commbank i was down in the field club a few times and he would be the only ex player who wouldnt acknowledge any fans or kids down there. He always had the shits walking past everyone.

I bag Freddy a lot for being a flog as NSW Coach but he always gave his time up for the kids and would happily get photos with anyone who asked. Same as Billy Slater, JT, Scam Smith, Gallen.

Joey though wouldnt have a bar of anyone.

Well he does have Bi-Polar. Maybe he thinks everyone's a bear.

Sorry sick uncle joke. As you were.

 

[TheRam]

Its just who he is.

He is a bad loser and can't handle it.

Look at origin whenever NSW lose and he is on channel 9 sooking it up.

I don't mind that, most greats are sore loses, but the fans are his life blood and part of the theatre that is sport. Without us he and the rest of them have nothing.

Sooky bear.
