RD 4: Eels v Tigs - Game Day Thread

[Djay]

We lost Semi and he is irreplaceable, simple as that just our luck.

We are 2 forwards short in my opinion we need 2 not 1 big boppers up the middle and Evans is not the answer, there was a reason he was playing reggies at the Roosters.

Hayne I thought would off set the lose of Semi but it's hard to judge him after what's occurred so far.

We also still need a hooker and haven't had a good one for what 10+ years?

But all the above is irrelevant because we have a decent enough team to be competing better then we are, we have major issues, we cannot defend, we do not turn any teams away, our attitude looks off, there is more then meets the eye with our problems now. It is inexcusable with how we are performing, the club, the coach and the players are all to blame.

It's not always something that can just be bought though, especially for us post TPAs. We did try it with Foran though. And I reckon BA banked on some players becoming leaders, but they haven't.

Foran was a disgusting option. Anyone in the know from Manly and even the Warriors will tell you the same.
If BA can’t identify good leaders then that’s on him and no one else.

Name f**kin names ... dont pussyfoot around

9 - I think Lichaa is better than both of our current 9's combined, he was available. Mitch Rein is a better than both of the 9's we have, he changed clubs. Peats was off contract. I'm sure if I thought harder there are others.

Middle forward - Graham preferably, but plenty of the others that changed clubs would've been handy.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Have I ever bee wrong though? Almost all on my shit list end up shit. I had a thread about it. Have any survived?

Is there a single player at Parra since 1986 that hasn't ended up being shit? Easiest f**ken list in the world to develop.

 

[Avenger]

Brian Smith? You're on drugs.

You realise he is at the Warriors? It's no accident that Kearney suddenly looks like he can coach.

I'll find the thread. Hang on.

 

[hineyrulz]

No variety hey? What's the point of playmaking back rowers if they're only going to be decoys?

Oh f**k off Pou, peddle your shit somewhere else I’m not buying it.

Spin and twist the result any way you want but we are a rabble atm and look the worst team in the comp.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Why not? What are you basing that on? We have a good success rate with French on the wing. Jennings on the right was outstanding last year. Evans has been gash this year and the other forwards I mentioned have been good.

It just wouldn't have mate. Face it.

 

[Cloeel]

I'm not a blue and gold eyed optimist trying to put a positive spin on another loss, but sometimes when you lose, it can trigger a change of fortunes and insight. Maybe the last 20 minutes of this game will give us something to build on.

I agree mate.
I was at the game and yes we weren’t great but we were no where near as bad as what others are.
Not to mention the tigers were very disciplined and played very well.

We will be ok once gutho Hayne and French are back.
We need to get some confidence at the start of the game and throw the ball around a bit more and try our hand. We seem to be a bit star struck at the moment and scared to try things.

Lichaa yes. Although he did walk off the field without shaking our players' hands or something.

Let me know how the Warriors go in September when Smith shits the bed (and then climbs into Kearney's bed and shits it as well).

30-20

A goal kicker will cost us some games this year

Don't think it really matters now.

1 from 8 in the tipping

Giving myself a few uppercuts

Please! For the love of f**king god (that I don't believe in) Pleeeeaaase Tip against the Eels from here on in!

 

[Glenn]

Of course not. Only a f**ken idiot would think that or think that others would think that.

So why would you deprive fans of the only slight bit of enjoyment that might have had all year, you miserable merkin?

Because as sure as the Sun rises Tomorrow, there will be those that think that. Then when it doesn’t eventuate they still don’t see the problems.

 

[Noise]

Good analysis. You are normally better than that.

If it is not our recruitment / selections that are one of the main problems then what do you think it is?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I'm not too upset as my second team won today. You idiots could learn a thing or two from me and Hindy111.

 

[Gronk]

Brad Arthur 2016/17 best thing that ever happened to the club. Sign him for life.

4 games in to 2018

I'm sure you'll be the first one to say "I told you so" as well.

Edit - Second, behind Avenger.
