Rd1: Eels v Titans GAME DAY THREAD @ Comm Bank Stadium 13/3/22

[King-Gutho94]

Btw Marata was on crutches today when i saw him before the game.

Does anyone know what happened to him.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Well stop looking in the mirror you weirdo.

Shut up. I was ready to blow my load FFS.

All over JArthurs arse.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If Will Chambers had a brain and knew Cronk was unmarked on his inside and passed the ball (which would have lead to a certain Storm victory) then does that mean that Townsend didn’t do his job?

I didn't say anything about players losing grand finals, which is the hypothetical you're trying to put forward. I am only talking about grand final winners.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Ideally you don’t but would they be any worse than JArthur in the defensive line at this point in his career?

He goes alright. It's not like the Titans had much luck down our left after he came on, despite having Fifita on that side.

 

[84 Baby]

It is. Any time I'm bagging the selection of Jake Arthur it is a shot at BA. However, pointing out his complete lack of ability at a first grade level is also fair, just as it is at any other player who wants to be a professional footballer that plays first grade and isn't up to it. The kid shouldn't be out there because he doesn't have the necessary skills and disrupts the team too much. And yes it's his dad's fault for picking him.

Sure

 

[hineyrulz]

No. Thats not our problem. Our problem is JA and his lack of attack when we have already had 28 points scored against us!

When Jake came on we only had 12 points scored against us.........

 

[lucablight]

Well he didn't. A kick that is caught in the in goal isn't an error. It's a potential outcome every time you kick into the in goal.
He was brought on because we suffered a backline injury. Most teams struggle when that happens. Yet as usual the scapegoaters need to find someone to blame. Somehow it's always the backup's fault.

You’re just playing semantics now. Regardless of how it’s recorded on the stat sheet you were referring to him not performing any actions that lead to an advantage to the opposition.
Does thinking that there were better options available to cover for the injury make you a scapegoater now?

BA ran over his foot in the carpark so that he can keep Jakey in the side for a few more weeks...

Bea probably knee capped him to keep Jakey in the 17, because he trained really hard.

He should have defended better on that right edge.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I don’t know how anyone could watch that and not think Simmonson jammed in too far on multiple occasions to give saloon passages to the opposition wingers.

Massive coincidence that all these wingers keep scoring down the sideline. Must be because the blokes marking them have no idea. How many did Russell get? I blame Greg Louganis.

Bro!!!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It's been a problem for years

Every team says this. Why do opposition wingers keep scoring ffs?

 

[lucablight]

I wasn’t talking about players losing grand finals either. I was talking about assigning arbitrary criteria to a players conduciveness to win one regardless of whether they had any influence on the result or not.

 

[Noise]

Sure

Yea I would never bag Brad Arthur. I'm a huge fan.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

ffs

How long is a piece of string??? If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear it??? The shit you post just to try and justify the blatant nepotism of the coach is always very exciting!!

Russell had to work to get his tries. All the tries that were scored down Simmonsons wing were opposition players doing so untouched.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Must've been all the dropped balls and missed tackles

 

[Parra Cheeses]

I'm pretty sure his dad, Simon was on the board.

Hi brother Woodrow goes alright.
