Post game discussion v panthers

So 4 is the magic number?

There is no magic number. It's mathematically possible to lose every game, no matter how remote the chances. It's possible to flip a coin a million times and have it land on heads every time. But it just doesn't happen.

Suppose we're only good enough to win 11 games this year. How many straight wins or losses is possible in 24 games? The answer is 11 and 13. But it's unlikely.

Ah...so the 2019 excuse is players are distracted. Glad to have that cleared up early in the season.

How is it an excuse? Whether they lose because they're distracted, injured or just shit at footy is irrelevant.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Plop.

 

[strider]

Wow, i missed 10 pages of posts ... lol

 

[Mr Pmatta]

So how has Des got Manly firing? They’re worse off than us, with far more injury concerns...and yet they play with attitude, commitment and skill level far beyond the team list they are trotting out each week.

Because his name is Des and not Brad.

 

[Mr Pmatta]

I blame Gutherson, this prick held these dumb asses to ransom, hence the resigning of bloody Arthur, and how good had Clint been going ever since? Not very!

 

[Mr Pmatta]

The Cowboys beat plenty of team in the finals that year. And the Storm absolutely smashed the other two teams they faced.

Honestly mate, you just sound like an idiot with all these so called facts!

 

[Mr Pmatta]

Two of our best players gone, plus Edwards mid-season

You’re getting funnier by the post

FFS, i can sense some shitiness, but please tell me you got more shitty than that and tore some butter fingered f**ks a new one!!!

 

[Jake the snake]

Did BA say the effort is there and we keep shooting it ourselves in the foot?? That ones my favourite.

lol

 

[Jake the snake]

How do you reward a coach with a 2 year contract when they’ve just won another spoon ?

 

[hineyrulz]

No it wasn't. All that was evident was that there was a massive problem in the group. We made some changes and that appears to have been fixed.

LOL!!

The problems seem to have appeared the last 3 weeks. And it must be the group it couldn’t be the fraud coach huh??

 

[hineyrulz]

No TPAs

And an inexperienced roster.

 

[Gronk]

Must have been the worst performance from an Eels team since they allowed me out of that padded room.

 

[hineyrulz]

The new 2019 excuse is we are inexperienced and keep playing strong rosters who spend more on their teams than we do.

If only Bea Arthur game plans were as half as creative as Pou.

 

[Gronk]

Sivo,Dylan Brown and Nathan Brown can stay,everyone else needs to be sent packing ASAP

Well thankfully we are not stuck with some of the losers from last night for 2020+.

Penrith won it up the middle in attack and superior line speed. Comes down to desire and most of the team last night “tried too hard” as Darius would say.

 

[IFR33K]

Three straight losses isn't the end of the world, especially when the last two were close. All that matters is how many we've won at the end of the season.

Have you considered that 2 of the 3 losses were against teams struggling, and that one has been absolutely diabolical?

 

[IFR33K]

Like last year eh Pou?

Last year after 0-5 he was still confident of making the 8. Lmao

 

[IFR33K]

I was very concerned at the Melbourne game, but the past two have been fifty fifty affairs. If you flipped a coin twice and it landed on tails both times you'd be mad to think there's something wrong with the coin.

Though we have a lot of players off contract and most of them won't have their futures sorted until late in the season. We probably lack the leadership group to keep them focused.

50/50 affairs? Gotta be happy with that!

 

[Gronk]

Pau, there is no fan of sport who accepts mediocrity more than yourself. You are the biggest excuse maker in history

We all accept mediocrity dingbat. If we didn’t, we’d all be posting in the Storm thread.
