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

[hindy111]

I’m being completely honest when I say I’d be giving it to him even if he wasn’t an Arthur. He’s not a first grader yet. However, I think it’s a fair assessment to state the fact the coach is his dad is a pretty large reason for his inclusion.

Let's be honest. Having him in the bench was kind of good. We lost a winger and could cover. Had we had Marata available he isn't on the bench. If we picked Cartwright or Rein does that help? Maybe Matto goes to centre I guess.
Once NSW cup gets to about 6 rounds I reckon JA who will be a part of it will slip down the pecking order. He won't stand out and others in that grade will overtake him.

People who are convinced Blake is a genuine winger need to look how he runs. Ask Penrith fans. That attempt in corner when he jumped 5 mtrs in air was laughable. He is a centre and where he is best.


Moving forward we need Mahoney to atleast engage the markers a little. Without that our attack become to predictable. Hookers always need to have the occasional dart or atleast steal a meter before passing it. I dont buy into this bullshit of just throwing this nice long pass. If the defensive line is set it does nothing. You need a guy who can nip out so the defense isn't waiting to smash your forward. They are in two minds who is going to get the ball already.

I'd be more worried if we played like this come rnd 10 and we picked the same squad. Its early and a long season.

Your sarcasm isn't needed. This is serious analysis and you acting like a f**king parrot

Where's the 'serious analysis'? All I'm seeing is foolish f**ken dribble.

 

[hindy111]

Which utility back should have worn the 17 jumper ?

Cartwright, Rodwell,Rein are options.

JA is a halfback and not a utility. He can not cover multiple positions. Just think of yourself in the bedroom. You may think you're a utility.

Shrub took over where Will Smith left off. You need to re-think your answer.

 

[hineyrulz]

BA is too stupid to give them a rev up. Probably gave everyone lollipops. JA would have gotten an extra one.

I just hope you and Pou got one as well, for extra effort.

There was f**k all kick pressure in the eighties. In fact there was f**k all sustained defensive intensity at all prior to about 2002. Quick play-the-balls were easy to come by on any tackle. Rugby league during Kenny's era looked like NRLW with more punching.

You’re playing with your piddle stick. Sterlo and Lewis built substantial careers on their kicking.

Jakey Arthur Fo Sho!!! He trained really hard with his singing as well!!

 

[Sphagnum]

Jake Arthur might make it in first grade but he is nowhere near ready yet. His defense can be awful at times and he looks like he is scared shitless. He is also needs to bulk up a lot if he wants to be a 14.

Get your own material FFS!

You can't use his surname against him in leading the team song

Geez it hard being the coaches son, poor Jakey!! What a hindrance

Why does it have to be a utility back? Arthur isn't a utility anything.

No he didn't. Will Smith can at least cover 1, 6, 7, 9 (He even filled in at centre and wing for us). Jake can sort of cover 6 or 7 only.

Would love to see BA as one of the new judges on The Voice. Jake could do a blind audition and BA would turn his chair quicker than you can say "it's your team son, go get 'em"!!

 

[Gronk]

No he didn't. Will Smith can at least cover 1, 6, 7, 9 (He even filled in at centre and wing for us). Jake can sort of cover 6 or 7 only.

You don't think he could sub 9 ? Anyway Ray Stone was there to sub 9.

The thing is that there were 3 forwards on the bench and one back. Who would have you picked this week for jumper 17 and how successful would it have panned out yesterday, considering that the Tits fancied themselves by testing our edges with speed ?
