Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

[hindy111]

More or less the same team that finished top four the previous year. I think they overachieved to make the top four but they also underachieved in 2018. Real Jekyll and Hyde era for us.

Or a heap of other sides under achieved?

Analed by stats.

I got analed by Pou

It's the same thing. If everyone else underachieved it means you overachieved. Achievement in a competitive environment is relative.

Interesting. It's just a basic equation

Mate the reason we were at the bottom of the table is the team we put on the field.

That team shouldn’t have finished last. Had way more talent than that. Strange season.

Tipped to win the comp or finish top 4 and ran last, it was a disgrace that team won a spoon. It was all that ratbag Haynes fault.

Thought the same thing looking at that team.
The front row was pretty average but there’s enough quality there to make the finals.

Something went terribly wrong that year and hard to say what it was. And contrary to popular belief I’m not sure it was the coach.

I spoke to someone who is friends with Brad Arthur and he told me he had basically no help that season and had to do everything on his own (including off field stuff).

I think the merkins who weren’t here in 2019 were a pretty good indicator.

Didn't help not having a home ground that season either.

Playing at soulless Homebush in front of 8k every home.

I think I missed the last 5 home games that year due to other commitments, crap weather and Thursday night home games.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Great run by Woody and Captain Rankin does the rest
