RD 4: Eels v Tigs - Game Day Thread

[hindy111]

He is f**king injured .... ffs mate ... i am in no way saying it is NOT BAs fault at all, but please come up with something with some substance

Mannah has to be dropped or learn an offload or short pass before line.
T rex and Terepo showed some grunt

 

[hineyrulz]

Played so much better being down by 30, playing without pressure makes a massive difference.

It's what we do best mate, once the pressure is off it's all good.

Parraball!!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I read my post many times and I never said our props were too small. If I did please point it out to me. Typical Pou making shit up

No I said our forwards are too small. You said the coach makes no mistakes.

 

[Jake the snake]

Pathetic

 

[Gronk]

f**k. Just shows what happens when we get the ball. Tigers perfect and not off side once. Not ruck infringements. Perfect.

I’ll let the haters fill 10 pages while I walk the dog.

Panthers and Raiders (away) next two weeks

Like to say we will be 2-4

But 1-5 possibly?

0-6 reality

 

[Joshuatheeel]

And that is the problem. Our recruitment / depth has been gash

Seriously if may seem now but we finished 4th last year so what recruitment could we do? It's not like we could sack anyone, fans would be in an uproar (which doesn't mean much) as we finished 4th, but there didn't seem like we needed a massive recruitment campaign either!! On the balance, we added some potential quality within our cap capacity.

Everything is good in hindsight, but BA his brains trust did the best they could. We added a back to replace semi plus a prop to add to our rotation. And gave T-Rex a chance.

Really what would you have done? Who would have sacked ? Signed? For this year?

Now leading into next year is where they should be judged!!

 

[Eelectrica]

We should have gone for a f/ g, could help our points differential seasons end determining the spoon winner

Round 6. Battle for the spoon is on in an epic clash between the Eels and Raiders.

Well then why quote me? Your post had nothing to do with mine

Ok mate. Being smart there. I'd reach out to Ricky Stuart and offer him Norman for Austin and Boyd.

 

[El Diablo]

Season over, we need a salary cap saga to change this season.

we've had one but they became the first NRL club to get caught rorting for years and not lose any points

 

[Incorrect]

Think more a case of Wests putting the Cue in the Rack,

Yep, more than likely ... But at the same time, maybe it forces a change of tactics and sees us chancing our arm a bit more earlier in games from now on instead of being too conservative and afraid to make mistakes. At 0 and 4, we might as well ask some questions instead of following the script we have so far.

 

[Glenn]

Worse thing about today is people will be sucked in by the late tries, and somehow see it as a corner being turned.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Sack BA asap

 

[Incorrect]

Ricky might be clueless, but even he wouldn't make that deal...

0-6 reality

And if we are 0-6 can we have some f**king consensus and admit that BA at least needs some f**king help? Toovey has already stated he would be more than happy with an assistant's gig.

 

[strider]

So do you agree with the rest of the changes?
And where would you have started Jennings?

Evans was a fair signing .... not great, but i dont believe is is the ONLY player we have tried to sign - shit sometimes doesnt come off

I think you are kidding tourself if you think its conclusive hoffman would be better at fullback than smith .... hoffman looks slow as shit .... only reason smith is there is cos the THREE yep THREE other preferred options for fullback are not available ... so again, reckon you are totally clutching at straws saying its a terrible decision

f**ked if i remember what else

If you want me to say what i said was bad decisions by BA BEFORE the season started ...

- bringing hayne back ... he is nothing decent anymore
- bringing williams back ... tho i reckon he went ok today
- evans is a fair signing, but we need another middle forward ... but i have no idea who we have tried to sign and dont pretend to know all about our situation

 

[Chipmunk]

We gifted our opponents cheap possession, which never gave us much of a chance.

It's all very well to say that if we get an even amount of possession that we will go better, but the style of play that we want to play, by getting off the line quickly, is now virtually outlawed in the game. So wanting to play that way is counter intuitive.

If we want to continue to play that style, which is what bought us success last season, then we're going to continue to give away penalties and we're going to continue to lose the possession and field position battle and we're going to continue to never really being in the contest.

We need to come up with something else than just playing with high intensity and aggressive defence, because along with incorrect play the balls, which was another reason we had success last season, being outlawed, we've now literally got f**k all of the ingredients that made us successful at the back end of last season.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Is that a euphemism?

An assistant can’t help us. Shit had to be sorted in the off season. What the f**k have they been doing in the off season?
