When he tries to pass first and not run first he plays like shit, when he threw that stupid pass on his 20m line and decided not to stick it under the arm and run I knew we had zero. Guth May have made a few tough errors out there but he was the only one who led by example. We still have f**k all leadership at the club.
Shut up.
Bullshit, instead of talking about the game with your supposed fellow eels fans you were MIA. Now here you are defending another BS performance game just like always. Legal Eel has your number merkin.
How many Under age and reserve grade comps did we win while Brian Smith was here?? We also made made 5 prelims a GF and 2 minor premierships. Not bad for a little club with no resources. Or maybe it just wasn’t the money it was the way the man went about setting up our junior pathways??? Money has never been a problem for our club and to suggest otherwise is just classic Pou BS.
Embarrassing, at least Jakey got 5 mins of a GF and got a try to make his Pop happy. Shame about the Strawberry milkshake and the puppy for his daughter
Parramatta treated the grand final like another game of football. It wasn’t
Penrith treated the decider like anything but a normal game of football, and in the process showed Parramatta how abnormal grand finals can be.www.smh.com.au
Contract extensions on the way for his two boys though……..

Watching the footy show with my mates yesterday morning we heard that the players hadn’t seen each other for 48 hours and were finding their own way to the game. My mate who is a Penrith fan burst out laughing and said it’s already in the bag. The other two just said that they can’t believe that’s how a team would prepare for a GF. I knew we were cactus after seeing that and we played accordingly.
Yeah BA over thought the week. They played like deer in headlights and that was reflected in the coaching.
Bizarre if true. I know I’d rather be in the company of my brothers before one of the biggest games of my life to calm my nerves than be tossing and turning at home and going crazy thinking about it. Especially if you won’t play together with a lot of them again. People say Penrith were too good but they definitely ran harder than we did which is something we could have controlled. I wonder how much nerves/preparation played a part in that.
The coach manages to bumble his way through each and every season. This is the same bloke when asked after Moses was knocked out the week before were you worried about bringing Moses back on that last 15 mins about a concussion he said he didn’t even think about it” Let’s get real he’s hardly a f**king mental giant.
I hope making the grand final doesn’t paper over a lot of the cracks for this season (eg the poor defence) and the club is judicious in how they move forward. Brad Arthur did a good job in making the grand final but the question needs to be asked whether he is the best person for the job moving forward or whether we can potentially improve by going in another direction. Sliding doors moment ahead.
Well said. The effort at the back end of the game against the Cowboys surprised me. Tonight, less so.
But then you've got merkins talking about how we didn't train enough in the lead up to a GF.
