Eels v Titans Pirtek Live Thread 11th April 2015

[Chipmunk]

f**ken pathetic effort for the second week in a row. Our centres offer next to nothing.

Our centres offered little to nothing more because of what is happening inside them. We could have had Jennings and Ferguson out there today it wouldn't have made alot of difference.

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

Wouldn't be picking Joseph Paulo for a start.

26-0 2nd half

pathetic

How f**king embarrassing.

Wooden spoon for supercoach Arthur

You reckon they would've let their opposite number score a hat trick?

 

[Chipmunk]

That performance was pure and simply unacceptable.

 

[Eelementary]

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.

I'm really, really, really annoyed at the team, but as usual, you're spot on, mate.

BTW - why did anyone tip us to put 40 on the Titans?

 

[Jake the snake]

2 premierships in 5 years???!!! LOL

 

[Casper The Ghost]

Talk about an implosion..

Mannah is also a most terrible skipper.

 

[Pazza]

When is things going to turn around for this club??? It has been half a decade since we have made the finals and shit doesn't look like it's changing. I'm getting pretty sick of it!!!!

 

[ElectricEelMan]

I am not sure I have seen a worse performance than the second half today.

I have never seen such disinterest, such apathy, such unenthusiasm.

There may be not many good options at Wentworthville, but give a young guy or two a go and watch the enthusiasm increase 100 fold. We might lose again but I would rather watch us play with pride and lose than watch the crap handed to us today.

 

[Bazal]

You're obviously happy with a mediocre team then?

Not at all. But I understand that it's currently mediocre for a reason, there's a difference between acceptance and understanding. Thankfully we should get Pauli back in a week or so if he can demonstrate his fitness. That might help, just having a hard runner off the bench. Tepai was dropped for a reason and tbh wasn't great in NSW cup today. At the end of the day the players could have been better, but the side we had wasn't as good as the Titans. What can we do about it? People can say "give blokes a stint in Wenty" all they like but who replaces them?

 

[BennyBoy]

I am starting to fear you just may be right

 

[Chipmunk]

Too many blokes off contract must be affecting their preparation.

Well if they're off contract and cannot perform, I dare say that we don't want or need them.

 

[Noise]

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.

2 of Faaoso , Pauli and Tepai for both of Seph and De Gois. What does De Gois offer at hooker that Peats doesn't? And Peats offers f**k all at backrow. Arthur is costing us with these selections.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

OK EVERYONE, THE GRAVEYARD THREAD IS NOW UP http://forums.leagueunlimited.com/showthread.php?p=10811409#post10811409

 

[Parramatta1947]

One team turned up and it wasn't us

I left before the end and couldn't be bothered waiting to boo them off

As usual, Gower and Wicks add the only ones who had a go

All the apologies over last week amount to nothing

 

[Casper The Ghost]

Fa'aoso , Pauli and Tepai for both of Seph and De Gois. What does De Gois offer at hooker that Peats doesn't? And Peats offers f**k all at backrow. Arthur is costing us with these selections.

Agreed...

 

[Bazal]

Wouldn't be picking Joseph Paulo for a start.

Nope, I absolutely agree as I said earlier. He doesn't offer anything worthwhile. And perhaps with Pauli and Fa'aoso back Sef will miss out. De Gois, too, seems pointless if Peats is going to play 80. But otherwise, what can we actually improve player wise? We're already down to fill ins as starters.

Injury excuses are bulls#$t. This exact time, minus Takarangi, beat the best team in the comp two weeks ago.

It's an attitude thing with these players and our attitude wasn't on today.
