Rd 9: Parramatta v Storm LIVE GAME DAY Thread 11th May 2019

[TheParraboy]

We continue to be missing the one thing that we have been missing for about 12 years - forwards that run the ball with heart....

Our forwards seem to be set to run TO the line and not THROUGH the line.

Come on down Matt Lodge?

 

[emjaycee]

You are more level headed about this shit than me. Would you extend him now?

The board for once in their lives are doing the right thing.

And I’d be giving Ayoub a deadline about the highest paid player to never play origin too.

The board aren't making a decision tonight so being level headed, I would stick to their decision to look at where things are at in June and make a decision at that time.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Coaches need to assess how players perform on game day rather than at training. I think BA puts too much emphasis on good trainers, which is why Tep, Taka and Terepo (and Kaysa previously) play first grade.

Who replaces Tepai? Taka? Terpo?

Additionally considering they haven’t been re-signed yet, there’s a good chance the eels brains trust realise they may not be the future.

Anyhow I wouId drop Terpo and maybe Taka. Stone (works harder in defence)for terpo and not many options for Taka unless we sign DZW

 

[Chipmunk]

Better chance of BA announcing his resignation at the press conference than us making the 8

Thankfully for us there is plenty of other non premiership contenders like us who are all vying to make up the numbers at the bottom of the Top 8.

 

[Eelementary]

Well, that f**king sucked.

 

[Mr Pmatta]

Ummmm....perhaps here:


Moses was the furthest thing from our issue today. Both he and Sivo were one of the few who put in.

I respectfully disagree regarding Moses, had plenty of mates at leadt

 

[hindy111]

W.Smith must partner Moses.
Salmon isnt a halves asshole. We have one kicker in general play.

 

[Angry_eel]

Bad loss. Coach tried a few things but failed miserably. We were probably going to lose anyway but the risks taken and the refs didn't help.

Let's belt the cows in Townsville!

 

[Mr Pmatta]

Oh well, at least it was Melbourne that thrashed us and not some merkin of a team.

The team sharks beat with half a team?

 

[emjaycee]

W.Smith must partner Moses.
Salmon isnt a halves asshole. We have one kicker in general play.

Would you go Smith to 6, Salmon to 4 and Taka to Wenty?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

And I’d be giving Ayoub a deadline about the highest paid player to never play origin too.

You wanna bring Foran back?

 

[Eelementary]

That was f**king embarrassing, to be blunt.

 

[Mr Pmatta]

Come on down Matt Lodge?

Somehow I don’t think we are an attractive destination at the moment, regardless of our home ground

Yes shit horrible performance!! But the storm have only lost 2 games all year however they shouldn’t have scored 64 against us. They are coming first.

But the eels were favourites for the spoon and many predicted it (including yourself or said we would lose our first 10 or so), yet after 9 round we are equal 5th on 10 points.

Most of the sides equal with us and below us apparently had better rosters then us. So has BA performed above expectations?

What coach that is actually available would do a better job?

So after getting 64 points put on us, we replace a good defender with a terrible one....

The only coach available that could do a better job is a lying cheating merkin with no self awareness.

The 17 we put on the park last week went ok.

We ran into a Premiership contender in a mood tonight.

We're not Premiership contenders and we've been shown up tonight by a team that is a class above us

We just need to move on and get back to beating teams in our own class, rather than worry about challenging the Premiership contenders.

We weren't Premiership contenders before the match started tonight and tonights performance and result hasnt changed that.

 

[Eelementary]

I mean, I know we are a middle of the road team and everything...but conceding 60 points?

I honestly don't know if I have the intestinal fortitude to do this to myself any more...

 

[IFR33K]

On a positive note, I’m sure we won’t hear Kent and co banging on about re-signing BA and gutho and so on.


This team is still lacking. We’ll do well if we win the next 2/10. We aren’t a top sides asshole

Taka isnt part of future. Hoffman in centres or G.J also options.
