Eels trial.

[stryker]

We just need to remember how things went last year with the same calibre of players missing

Absolutely you do, flogged by a side who played like shit themselves on the night.

Plenty of flogging going on that night .mainly from tigers supporters.wonder how the season ended for both teams

Crazy how upset some of you get when Hindy makes a comment which goes against the thought they we are the greatest squad of all time.

Our edge depth is worrying. If Kiks goes down we are in real trouble imo. Same with a centre. Leaving a couple of squad spots and hoping we snag someone mid season leaves us short for the first 12 rounds.

I never said anything bad. I was being honest. I'm sure people on here know more about your juniors then I do so perhaps that's your depth. But to me they are guys who have no NRL experience and are unknown qualities. Odds are most need atleast a full season before they become a difference maker or even reliable NRL players. And that's best case.

The salary cap just doesn't allow too much depth. Most clubs are the same.

You come across as smug, and arrogant.

What you said was fine. When you post on to an opposition board immediately following a loss you’re going to cop some backlash regardless of what you say though. Read the room dude.

Well thats a given. Have the Tigers played a decent game since 2010?

The important thing was going on and wining the comp.

 

[hindy111]

When I venture onto the Eels forum I always rate Poupou Escobars comments. He seems pretty switched on and generally impartial.

What about mine? I feel like I have some excellent comments.

 

[soc123_au]

I dont get the @hindy111 hate. He is pretty respectful with his opinions and is happy to give credit to Panthers players when it's due. We dont want this place becoming an echo chamber.

But I said you lacked depth 5 days ago before the game. I grew up in Penrith and they are my 2nd team. I have a soft spot for them.

I agree.

 

[Luke Bowden]

The only thing this trial proved was that we are weaker than last year (Having lost Capewell, burton, Momirovski, May, Naden etc. That's not a surprise) and that with a few rep quality players out ontop of those losses we are not close to being the best team.

We saw last year with our origin guys out that even poor teams could best us. So of course a near full strength Eels side can pump us without Edwards, Cleary, Fish, Yeo and Leniu ontop of our departures.

I think we're looking at 3rd to 6th with this roster at or near full strength. It's not as strong as last year. The hunger is gone and realistically back to back is damn near impossible even with the same squad

How can you say the hunger is gone?

We don’t lack depth

Well said. In fact very well said.

Sadly Hindy111 for many of us, (including me). That matters for little.

Personally I didn't take kindly to you lobbing in straight after a loss, to me although you were very polite, felt vulture like, as though ready to pick over the Penrith bones.

(I know that is not you're issue). But my response was a corelation to that feeling.

He's a George Pell level weirdo with his whole 2 team thing

I've had enough of this. Goodbye

Hindy is always in this forum, win, lose or draw. Hardly a vulture. I don’t agree with every thing he says but he has decent input, doesn’t just say player X is shit without any thought. On the flip side it’s also good to have someone that doesn’t say ‘trust the process’, ‘the juniors will get us through’ etc everytime there’s questions about the squad.

if you’re going to be that sensitive over a trial loss, I reckon you might be in for a long season.

Ah look. I'll be the one to piss off. It seems easier this way Ta ra.
