POST GAME DISCUSSION 2019 Rd13 - Eels 22 v Sharks 42

[Gary Gutful]

I'm quoting you in here because I fell strongly that all discussion after the match should be undertaken in this thread.

I had a couple of cans of the Bentspoke Descent 19. 10% ABV! @Gary Gutful summed it up nicely, a chub in a can

It is chub-o-licious.

 

[Bazal]

It is chub-o-licious.

I'm going to try and get a carton.

I knew it was good obviously, but I wasn't sure how it would can. f**king well is the answer

Most people have said what is wrong with the club already.
I'd like to reiterate what I said last week though.
Our line speed and wrestle has to be the worst in the NRL.
Sure, the Sharks pushed both to the limit tonight, and gave away a heap of penalties, but that was a risk they were prepared to take. For all the pens they gave away, there were plenty that they didn't and hence, a reason why they dominated.
Amongst the aforementioned shit kicking game and lack of domination from our halves.

Agree and Moses kicking most of the night was sh$t but when he has no 6 or 1 to help then the options and what we are about to do is so obvious.
Despite the fact we lost Guth basically all match the line speed and the ruck is and has been the biggest concern all year. Fix that or be prepared to finish 12th-16th...
Mcillwrick has to be in the 17 next week
Moeroa would be the player i drop. He gives away 2 or 3 dumb penalties a game and quite often is left on the ground whilst the opposition has played the ball. Otherwise its concussion.
More coach fan favourites need a spell at Ringrose Pk

 

[Gary Gutful]

We just need more TPA’s.


Our coach and his team are awesome. We just need more TPA’s. It’s what’s holding us back. Nothing to do with or fraud of a coach who should be homeless.

Lack of TPAs is a major factor. One that only a kraken munching simpleton would try and gloss over.

Our ability to win the play the ball has been atrocious for more than a decade. I'd say since Fitzy was sacked.

The cruise I was on a couple of months ago did a Kraken Colada. Basically a Pina Colada, with a shot of Kraken Spiced Rum on the top...It was some drink.

Was that on Royal Caribbean?

We did one with them and they had a spiced rum colada and another spiced rum cocktail that was f**king mint.

Yeah it was.

Yeah it was.

I won $300 US in the casino on formal night on Voyager of the Seas.

I have yet to exchange it for AUD

I left a cruise (also on Voyager if I'm not mistaken) with about that much one year, actually over $400 USD when I think of it. I had it for ages, I ended up exchanging it for AUD when my sister and brother in law went to the US.

Yet, I still feel as though he is covering up the cracks.

At some point he needs to realise that if they aren't responding to him then he is the problem for them not getting up on game days, especially away from home.

Maybe he needs that coach whisperer guy?

It's been the case for most part of his 6 year tenure, who's fault is that now?

When is he going to realise this is his team with his players?

 

[Bazal]

Shit, the cord for my hoodie went inside my hood! FFS!

I agree.
He's had more than enough time to sort this shit out, yet it's the same old problems year after year.
6 seasons ffs, yet we continue to see the same issues that we were watching in the first year of his tenure. The excuses from back then don't wash with we me anymore.
I've tried to be more than patient with BA, but IMO, it's really wearing thin now.

What I dont get, why the hell didnt we wait for June as per original agreement to see if we keep BA?

Scared of losing Gutho/Moses? Media pressure?

The board are as much to blame as anyone else

 

[Bazal]

Can also delete what you like.

Not breaking any rules discussing things that happen post match in the post match discussion thread.

Euphemism?
