Rd 8: Live Game Day Thread - Eels v Tigers Sunday 29 April

[strider]

I have a theory that Tim was moved to the bench primarily to transition Gutho into the captaincy. Keeping Tim in the run on side would have meant little to Gutho being co captain. The added bonus is that it is allowing Tim to run against the benchies which has proven to be of benefit.

I have a theory Gutho was fast tracked into captaincy cos Beau n Tim were no longer guaranteed a game

Same, same but different!

 

[strider]

no they are sublimated in the design like Aland is.
The supporter ones don't have A Mart Furniture on them but.

f**k i hate those stuck on rubbish ... its subliminated or nothing as far as im concerned

No ... different different but same

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

No we are stuck with this jersey for the next 3 years, triple yuck.

Why?

 

[hineyrulz]

Why?

Pretty sure it’s the deal we signed with the new supplier.

That really is disappointing. Hopefully the sales are so bad they change it anyway.

 

[Eelogical]

I'd give Evans, Matagi, Terepo, Gower and Vave all one game a month. I think they'd all be awesome if we could just get that one great game a month from them.

Actually on second thoughts id give them 2 to 3 games every 2 to 3 months, but still the same amount of games across a season.

Isn't one game a month the same as 2 to 3 games every 2 to 3 months?

 

[Happy MEel]

Pretty sure it’s the deal we signed with the new supplier.

Wouldn’t the deal be that they are simply the supplier? Surely we can change the design as there will be slight changes anyway due to sponsors.

I think these players are up to it for 2 to 3 weeks in a row, but then they drop off. We have quite a few players like this.

You will be happy then that the Indigenous jersey will have Amart Furniture sublimated on the jersey

Pretty sure we are stuck with the jersey, can't change it until at least 2020. I'm sure i read that the club were happy to keep the jersey for 3 years. But if sales are rubbish they might have to do something.

Note sure about this

Last year we were bloody consistently tough bastards for the majority of the season

Big test v Cronulla this week, they like a tough scrap. We get through them then we are serious threats to most sides

 

[84 Baby]

Is it pumping time yet?

 

[Gary Gutful]

Confidence is up now. Our performances in the first six weeks mean very little.

F**ken hell.

Yes it is, lucks turned a little for us. I feel we still have a lot of work and gee Hayne and Brown would ne nice fit to play and so would Evans if could find form. His seasonnis going pear shaped.

 

[The EELiminator]

F**ken hell.

He looks like he's about to lose his strides or rupture something I'm just trying to work out which is going to happen first

 

[Dibs]

I think the fact that you attacked Tigers right edge so much and NEVER bombed our 3foot tall 100kg left winger shows that they were clearly following BA's game plan strictly and it was written prior to Fonua coming in.

Was shocked they never bombed Fonua

Didn’t need to
