Game Day: Rd2 Eels v Sharks @ Commbank Mar 10, 2023

[Noise]

...as did Drown

Huh? My response was to some idiot saying that we would have been better with Tim Smith at halfback tonight because he can throw cutout passes.

 

[ImTheMan]

How many Finals games did Sandow play at the Eels (or anywhere actually)?

Moses earns five times as much because the salary cap is a shitload higher now.

Don’t compare the two. It’s not even close.

Ahhaha I'll compare the two, Moses has been in teams far greater than the shit Sandow was given, end thread.

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

Its gonna be a loooong season guys....

 

[ImTheMan]

Sandow was getting us thumped by 50 pts you are delusional

 

[Happy MEel]

Well you're not going to get dispensation to drop a player.

Sure. But you may be able to promote a development player to the top 30 if you have a season ending injury.

 

[Snoochies]

Can we just swap Simmonson and Blake. Both play better in the positions they didn't play in tonight.

 

[ImTheMan]

This forum in ten years: "Brown and Moses ahahah u remeber that and Brad Arthur, I never endorsed them" *Snort*

 

[Eelogical]

Well, that was a train wreck. Our senior players look cooked already. There doesn’t appear to be any cohesion or ability in the side once they are under the pump. It’s quite obvious that our boppers are getting worked over and some of our outside backs are nowhere near NRL standard. On top of that, I really feel that BA has gone past his used by date. We look stale, play with no real authority and really don’t have any idea how to win a game when it comes down to the crunch. Chase the collision….what a game plan.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Who thinks Blake should be re-signed?

Not me. One of the worst performances Ive seen in an Eels jersey. Apparently only the fans can see it though.

We don't have 30 players in the Top 30, so if we want to put him in there then I'm sure we can play him.

Hopefully by ‘the positions they didn’t play tonight’ you mean reserve grade.

Another sign the coach has no f**king idea...

 

[ImTheMan]

This forum In 10 years: Remember Michael Hagan a premiership winning coach, it was all Andrew Johns, and when he got to the Eels, it was all him even though he only lost in prelim finals to a cheating team. Thank god we got rid of Brad Arthur *snorts* f**k Brian Smith

 

[the phantom menace]

Chase the collision….what a game plan.

And I would say we don't really even do that.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Well bugger me, when they looked like they might get on top they blow it with silly errors, poor passing, bad knock ons, running behind own players .

I mean the Sharks had their own mistakes and gave Parra plenty of opportunities, only to Parra to butcher it.

Losing Gutho to a HIA didnt help, its like they were mentally drained after that and looked lost.

Blake and Simmonsen need a stint in reserve grade but wouldnt surprise me if they both play next week against Manly. They'll make Harper and Garrick look like world beaters.

 

[JokerEel]

Blake also looked like he copped another arm injury to his left arm this time. He may need some time to let it heal... Hopefully another 25 weeks.

 

[Happy MEel]

But we won't be able to play Cini ahead of another player in the Top 30.

If the dispensation is to bring him into the top 30 rather than game by game we will.

 

[lucablight]

Doorey is so overrated here as is Murchie and that other Moo moo guy. Hodgson is also past it. These 4 remind me of when we signed Muckert, Muspratt and some other plodders in 2003.

Brian Smith did incredibly well not to get the spoon with that side.

 

[Bandwagon]

That was a coach/team loss. There's some stupidity at all levels. It's like Groundhog Day, again.

Yeah disagree, there was far too much derp from the likes of Waqa and Simonson, I also reckon losing Gutho to the HIA f**ked our focus, and Simonson counting the numbers, we saw the result there.

 

[Chipmunk]

If the dispensation is to bring him into the top 30 rather than game by game we will.

I don't think it works that way.

If we really rated Cini he would be Top 30 already. We're not going to give him a game ahead of Top 30 players. To suggest the coaching staff will give Cini a game ahead of Blake or Simonson I think is ridiculous.
