Grothe Jnr who is he?.....

[hineyrulz]

Worst thread i've read this week. Replace Grothe with someone who doesn't even play wing :crazy:

 

[eel01s]

I hope Eric reads this and tears the Dragons a new one Monday night.

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

someone said 'welcome Chad Robinson'

is this true? do players read this?

well if that is Robbo, id like to thank him for his efforts over the season, and particularly last week.

That statement there is full of Parramatta bias

I'm not sure if you've noticed, JTB, but this is a Parramatta forum.

We all support Parramatta. We are ALL biased.

We come here to speak to like-minded supporters, who have similar biases.

That's why we don;t really like people like you who carry on campaigns against our own players.

I really hope that we are say 2 points behind in the GF this year with a minute to go, and EGJ scores a brilliant solo try.

Will you actually be happy? Or will you be bitter and angry?

i love a good sh*tstirrer :roll:

lol at JTB's 'no grothe' pic

Joel, for starters is a much better fullback than he is a winger.

Given also that most of our go forward comes from our outside backs and Eric is probably one who delivers more than most in that regard to swap him back to PL isn't really the smartest idea in the world.

And lastly, four tries in his last four games (should have been five - stripped by Cronk over the line, play on, TRY) shows that he is in some form at the right time of the season. Don't fix what aint broke.

I wouldn't even drop Grothe anymore

when Burt comes back I'd want to see Ben Smith get the axe, everyone else offers too much more

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

All the defensive problems etc, could easily be caused by Ben Smith who is on the inside of Grothe. Add Grothe's go forward form Wing, and id rather drop Ben Smith and Jarryd Hayne before GuruJu. I agree with Hurriflatch, when Burt comes back;

Burt
Hayne
Tahu
Inu
Grothe

Now there is some bias.

It was a lost ball but so was Slaters try and they failed to even look at it.

 

[Pazza]

yeah lets get rid of the hardest running back in the game!

sure he has issues with his game but no player is perfect

 

[eelandia]

Grothe has massive problems atm. Manly worked him out perfectly and it seems other teams are following suit. He has seemingly got the poor pass (after a great run) out of his game somewhat but he is always good for several mistakes a game.

Whether that is balanced by good plays isn't the point imo and since Joel Reddy's chances at fullback are slim (considering who is in front of him), winger is his only real opportunity in the top grade.

It was played at by Cronk - outside of the in goal that is generally a one on one strip. If it had have been two players in the tackle it would have been a penalty try.

jtb, my avatar sh*ts all over yours

 

[Bigfella]

How many tries did he concede on Friday? My count would be none? How many against Cronulla? Was it one on his wing?

He has seemingly got the poor pass (after a great run) out of his game somewhat but he is always good for several mistakes a game

Apart from the ball being knocked out of his hand when he scored, he was error-free wasn't he?

That is just a bunch of inaccurate generalisations.

Meanwhile Inu and Mateo make a bunch of mistakes every game but they are immune from criticism?

I love Grothe being in the team as much as I love them being in it. They are all players that make our side something different.

 

[lucablight]

That statement there is full of Parramatta bias. The best wingers in the world do not make at least 3 mistakes per game.

Just because I'm an Eels fan doesn't mean I can't tell it how it is. I don't go around saying every player from the Eels is the best in their position. As I stated before Grothe's contribution to the team far outweighs his flaws making him one of the best in his position.

 

[The Engineers Room]

It was played at by Cronk - outside of the in goal that is generally a one on one strip. If it had have been two players in the tackle it would have been a penalty try.

Firstly, only if Cronk had made actual contact with the ball and it came straight out was it play on and from memory that wasn't the case and it would not have been a penalty try as a penalty try can only be awarded in the case of a foul on a player. Only if he hit Grothe in the head would it have been awarded.

Nice avatar JTB :roll: Why don't you make a Fui for PM one instead.

For a referee you aren't up to date on your rules - two players in a tackle, ball stripped over the line is a penalty try as it is an illegal play. Has been for a little while now.

Cronk made actual contact with the ball when he made the tackle.

Yeh, It's a shame no one was around Grothes legs at the time.
