Eels Team vs Bulldogs - Round 9.

[ethan tremblay]

Funny that, watched the game with my 4 year old son tonight, both in our parra jerseys that I just shelled out over $300 on and when the little bloke would rather go to bed than stay up, I'm thinking, how the hell am I gonna keep him interested in my team that I have followed for 38 years? Cause I know I'm struggling to be the least bit positive at the moment.

i feel your pain mate .... the boy is young enough too forget this tough time he will be sweet

The coach never gets credit when the team is going well. That's always been true in every sport.

We don't support coaches, we support players. That's why they're mostly immune from criticism.

Are you kidding?? Haven't you heard the never ending love fest over Bennett, Hasler, Bellamy ...

Yep, hope so, ta mate.

Perhaps the players and coach should dip into their 300k salaries and pool some cash to refund tickets to all the fans who rocked up tonight. Getting sick of week to week excuses.

I've mostly support the jersey, rarely the boofhead in it.

The coach took the only try-stopper (Hindmarsh) off.

Big turning point (again). Thanks coach Kearney!

Big turning point (again). Thanks coach Kearney!

Whats going to happen next year when he retires? Bulldogs were just too good for us tonight. If there was a game changing moment it would have been that dope Allgood with his stupid penalties along with Poore.

On a totally different point watching Ennis get creamed illegally by reni was satisfying.

I remember he did it at least once last year, if not possibly twice, and the same result happened.

 

[lingard]

It would be nice if there was someone to blame wouldn't it? Just like politics - do we blame immigrants or do we blame the rich? It's gotta be someone.

At about the 30th minute one thing went against us and we just rolled on our backs and pissed.

It's f**king disgusting and you can't single one person out.

So 17 blokes ust colectively rolled over. Couldn`t possibly be the coach, could it?

I know J . Presumably the coach has been planning ahead for our defence next year, in the absence of Hindy and Ben Smith... oh, wait.

We competed well (or well enough) for the first 30 mins. But that was all we had tonight - absolutely nothing after the half-time pep talk, no adjustment to tactics or anything.

With Casey last week and Reni's hit tonight, I reckon some of the guys are trying to get themselves suspended, rather than play!

 

[Parra Pride]

With Reni spending a week on the sideline Lasalo will return to save our season...

Yeah allgood dropped the ball.That was a huge turning pont.So basicaly if we make one error in a game than its a turning point??
The dogs had droped it 3-4 times prior to that

Agreed, there was no turning point. The point of turning was with Tina Turner...... We simply aren't the best

 

[Chipmunk]

Well I have now had a chance to watch the game (WIN showed it as the second game here in the 'berra). Once again our defence was attrocious. We were pretty lucky really that they didnt rack up easily another 4 tries.

Sandow went better than he had done the previous few weeks, but at 28-12 down and us basically just throwing it around willy nilly I guess that was a time that he was always going to thrive.

Sandow/Roberts/Hayne/Kearney are all rocks or diamonds players. You cannot play the game plan that Kearney wants to play (which we didnt really do tonight) with rocks and diamond players....

I actually fear that we havent yet seen the worst of our season....

Yep, looked that way to me
Dropped balls (3 in the 1st 6 mins of the 2nd half), no urgency & half tackles in defense - I doubt even SK coaches them to do that but hey, maybe some of these players think they're so good they deserve a coach like Bennett or Bellamy & what they think is the most important thing around here

 

[RedVDave]

At 12-4 to us im thinking = good mix of parraball, completion of sets and go forward

Poor(e) comes on....

Definetley a turning point for mine back to back dumbarse penalties by Poore, how he gets picked every week is beyond me and taking off Hindmarsh I don't get it. Hopefully things turn around for you blokes soon.

 

[Apey]

Sure dogs are killing us but does hasler have a five year plan

classic :lol:

 

[Maroubra Eel]

In hindsight I don't think my Eels by 13+ was a good bet. FFS we didn't even score 13 points!

We cannot defend other teams can, we show no pride whatsoever. we rush up off our line and are clutching at straws. On the field wise defense is a major major issue.
