RD 4: Eels v Tigs - Game Day Thread

[I'm a loser baby...]

Did BA resign at halftime?

 

[Avenger]

Serious question.

All these rumours about division within the ranks etc. why did they only come out when we started losing? Why nothing before the start of the season or after the Knights trial????

We are a joke but it is funny how all the people in the know only whinge when things aren’t going their way?

I’m not in the know mate. The players are complaining to former staff members that I know. Everyone knows that BA is an intense maniac who needs help but won’t take it.

His arrogance combined with ignorance will get him sacked and back on the tradie tools.

 

[Eelementary]

Man some of you merkins will do anything to lay the boot into the club. Wastes of space

Sorry, mate.

I'm not pissed at the club - I'm pissed at the NRL for allowing this officiating farce to go on every week.

 

[Jake the snake]

Quality side

 

[Oscarman]

And Arthur will do nothing about it.

What can he do? While Max is still in charge the NRL owns us.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

The ball is dead when it touches the corner post. The player can do whatever he want to the corner post without it being out.

Yep but on the replay you can't definitely say it hits the post before the try line.

 

[Noise]

It was smith and he should have caught it, as the commentators said if you are pushing up with the forwards you should be ready for the pass.

Yep smith has been poor and being offside is f**ken ridiculous, our players should know better!!

We are a terrible football team. What ever happened this off season has not worked. Despite what TCT have reported we are a f**king embarrassment. We have no go forward, discipline or resolve.

 

[forward pass]

When was the last time we made a line break? 1st half Round 1 v Panthers. Seriously.

 

[strider]

Moses attempted tackle on Naquiama was putrid. Never seen something so pathetic in first grade as that. Atleast Sandow put his body on line.

Sandow never put his body in once they ruled out the shoulder charge you twit

 

[Eelementary]

Well with the penalty count, plus the Moses knock on, the missed forward passes in the lead up to repeat sets.... You can't blame the refs for us missing tackles, that's correct. But you can blame them 100% for the Tigers having 9 more sets than us

Definitely.

I think we've been awful, but the game has not been officiated down the middle, and it's bullshit.

 

[hineyrulz]

That BS penalty call when we were up 6 zip and they were going nowhere on their 4th has changed the game without a doubt.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Really we have been poor, but gee our wingers / centres are definitely poorly!! They have let in 3 very soft tries!!

 

[Gronk]

f**k me its a scapegoatathon.

Coach’s career is over. Never heard anything more ridiculous.

Refs are micromanaging us. No luck. Argh.

 

[Bandwagon]

Touching the corner post is irrelevant isn’t it? It’s the white line

Not if it's with the ball. can touch it with the body, but if the ball hits the post it is out.

 

[strider]

Touching the corner post is irrelevant isn’t it? It’s the white line

If the ball touches the corner post its out ... only playersntouching it is irrelevant

 

[Eelementary]

What can he do? While Max is still in charge the NRL owns us.

Cop the $10,000 fine, imo - most coaches who criticise the refs' performances cop the fine, and then their teams seem to fare better in subsequent weeks.

 

[Chipmunk]

The penalty count should even up in the second half at least.

 

[Avenger]

When I hear that Brian Smith offered his services and BA said no that was enough for me.

His problem is that he never listens to anyone. Especially with recruitment and retention. The guy is so arrogant which will lead to his downfall. Takes on too much yet knows f**k all.

 

[Bazal]

Definitely.

I think we've been awful, but the game has not been officiated down the middle, and it's bullshit.

With even possession were probably not half as bad as we look.

People can talk as much shot as they like, but when you get 35% or so of the footy you're not usually going to look very good.

Cue the usual spanners attacking that comment

 

[Eelectrica]

Definitely.

I think we've been awful, but the game has not been officiated down the middle, and it's bullshit.

I'd like to see how we'd be going with more balanced referring. I suspect we"d still be in the game at least.
