Eels's Trials, Dates and Locations

[Maroubra Eel]

How on earth did we end up here. Our roster is garbage. How did this happen?

Salary cap mate. It spreads mediocrity around.

Lucky for us there are about ten other shit teams. Plenty of competition for those last few finals spots.

You think enthusiasm = fundamentals?

You think that the solution to our problems is simply enthusiasm ?

I'm guessing you picked up plenty of Most Improved awards as a kid.

No.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You think that the solution to our problems is simply enthusiasm ?

No, I think the solution to our problems is being patient with our youngsters, and allowing our spine to form some combinations.

Eleven members of the squad made their debuts in the past two seasons. Our biggest issue is inexperience. Guess how that is solved.

As far as combinations go, do you know how many times Hayne-Kelly-Sandow-Keating have played together? Once. Hayne-Roberts-Sandow-Keating have only played together seven times.

Enthusiasm is something that can be switched on or off, and no team is ever always on.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Patience. We just need some f**king patience merkins.

I am going to start showing some patience by waiting until at least the second half of our Round 1 game before I throw something at the TV or kick the dog.

Patience. I'm in. Are You?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We have to be patient. This is a huge, huge job.

We want to win and be successful but it's going to take time. I've told them that I will be patient with them.

After overseeing his first full-blown trial for Parramatta, Ricky Stuart described himself as a "patient coach". And it appears that Eels fans will also have to bide their time, with Stuart predicting it will take at least 10 weeks before we can truly gauge how his team is travelling.

What the players have got is a patient coach.

[Avenger]

Matt Ryan, Mitch Allgood,Harrison, Paulo and even Maitua are massively overrated. Mannah is not the player he was, Moimoi is getting old and Lussick is untested. We suck. A massive broom is needed.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Our whole squad is overrated by most eels fans.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The same Eels fans who reckon we have the worst squad in the comp? The same merkins who said last year's squad should have been top eight certainties?

Footy fans have got no idea. If we were smarter we'd do something more productive with our time.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I would like to hear the whistling intro to G'N'R's 'Patience' come over the loud speaker every time we let in a try this year.

Patience. I guess we have no choice now because of the mess that SK left us in.

Good teams just buy decent players. Wow that must have taken them ages to work that out.

Who said that ? What are their names ?

 

[Avenger]

I hope I'm wrong but we will struggle big time. There will be a scape goat and unfortunately it will be Sandow. That's what I think.

Yeah, recent premiers Melbourne, Manly and St George are all well known for shelling out big money on established first graders.

Maroubra Eel's the one who said Eels fans overrate our players. I'll answer your stupid question when he does, smartarse.

 

[Gronk]

How did Cronulla dig themselves out of a pickle, genius ? Would you prefer their squad going in to 2013 or ours ?

Cronulla haven't done anything yet brother.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I would like to know how you 'dig yourself out of a pickle'? Is that the same as 'pushing shit into a brick wall'?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Cronulla haven't done anything yet brother.

Exactly. Every year a bunch of average teams make the finals and some merkin thinks they're entering a golden age.
