Eels v Titans Pirtek Live Thread 11th April 2015

[WaznTheGreat]

I can't wait to see Brad Arthur do angry guy face in press conference,Brad Arthur thinks to be a good coach you have to do angry face win lose or draw,that's his coaching philosophy.

 

[Swiftstylez]

f**k your Seph. f**k you!!!!!!!!

He must have friends in high places the media worships him

 

[Avenger]

Sorry Brad but you have been out coached here, son. Terrible interchange, same old shit from Seph. Watmough is also shit.

 

[Lemon Squash]

Even Red Cadeaux would finish first in a race over us

 

[Matty Bhoy]

I'm tired of losing too. But we're currently using our 3rd and 4th choice centres and our 4th or 5th choice winger. Folau, for all the hype, has been given a bath by Roberts. We're missing two of our power forwards in Paulo and Edwards, and we haven't got a fullback. The attitude has been poor, absolutely and that's f**king frustrating because we are better than this. But at the same time, perhaps fans should lower their unreasonable expectations.

My expectations are that the team turns up and switches on to play. Our completion rate indicates we're not really interested.

:lol:

 

[Bazal]

This might be the real kick up the ass we needed early in our season.
Lets see head rolls

Who replaces them, though? Maybe Ualesi is worth a go, he sure as shit gives it everything. Pauli tired badly for Wenty and needs time. But otherwise half the side out there today are fill ins. I would bring Tepai in for Sef, but otherwise there isn't a whole lot we can do.

 

[Chipmunk]

There have been, but we also have to remember we're lacking some very important players. Not that it's necessarily an excuse, but we look tired as now and you have to think that it plays a part.

That said I feel like the main thing we've been guilty of is underestimating the Titans...everything else aside, that's what's hurt us the most

And here come the sad sack brigade, right on cue. Teams lose boys, you'll live to whine another day

You're obviously happy with a mediocre team then?

 

[El Diablo]

couldn't score a root in a brothel

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Sack Arthur!!!

 

[Casper The Ghost]

And we keep getting worse and worse as the game winds down.
What a most terrible second half.

 

[Chipmunk]

Our forwards are getting bashed again.

We're still a really poor team around the play the ball.

 

[Swiftstylez]

Sack Arthur!!!

Honestly any other period in our modern history he would be. Even possibly missing two years of finals was sacked.

What unreasonable expectations? We've not won a grand final since 1986! Think it's readable to expect a little bit more. we are a wealthy club with huge junior league. Clubs like many, Melbourne don't have the money or juniors we have but they are consistently successful.

 

[ElectricEelMan]

This could be one of the most disastrous losses in Eels recent history.
A loss by 20 odd ... At home ... Against a team that was favoured to be wooden spooners this year.

Arthur needs to show some balls and make some major changes. If players lack pride in the jumper or lack motivation or are just there to get their weekly pay, I think it is time to give them a stint at Wentworthville. The amount of passengers in this side is sickening.

Brandy is right. The Titans wanted this more.

 

[Bazal]

I feel it indicates that we didn't value the ball enough, and I think that comes down to not respecting the Titans. And a certain extent to fatigue. It's not good enough, but as I said, what do you change? We have a lot of depth players out there already...so the change has to come from these players. I reckon Arthur can do it, but it'll be a test for him

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Criterion 1
Brad Arthur 0
Hoppa 0
Watmough 0

 

[BlueAndGoldPride]

Absolutely nothing positive about this side atm and I'm starting to worry about the future as well, wattmough is looking like a really bad buy and it's only year one!
Probably have Scott coming next year don't see how that will help much the same as watmough,Foran will help a bit but with no decent FB we still won't go anywhere!

 

[Avenger]

To surrender this meekly at your home ground is unacceptable.

 

[Swiftstylez]

^ Thats because with a salary cap juniors dont mean shit
