Rd10: 6.25pm EELS v Titans GAME DAY THREAD @ Suncorp 7/5/23

[hindy111]

Please stop chanelling Pou, even if it's for a laugh... having one of him on here is already more than enough.

Bar Penrith we've beaten the Dogs,Knights and Tigers this year. We've also been relatively fit.
There is reasons for concern

 

[hindy111]

I’m just glad we got out X factor in Davey. Phewwww!

He is an astute signing. 31 and yet to peak

 

[hindy111]

He plays on the edge and his D is a little grabby. He's only 22 (?) and a great hole runner. He'll have a great future with us once he sorts out his hit n stick and can play 80 if asked.

Agree. He needs to get Parra fit

 

[hindy111]

You are right. This was a good loss.

One of the best I've seen

In the words of Gus.

Brad is looking tired if you ask me.

Can only do a 2 min 36 second press conference these days.

The funny part was he was stunned how we lost? You have built a team who cant defend therefore the opposition will always be in the contest.

Delusional - Defence wins premierships.

This year is looking a lot like 2018. We lost by 2 around 6 times that year.

Give me CommBank anyday. I disslike Suncorp. Horrible view and hated the replay screen. Ive no desire to ever return.
That said the atmosphere was amazing and I loved The Caxton. Yummy pint of Great Northern. The burger was tops as well. The march down Caxton street is something to behold. Amazing. Son bought me The Magic Round Cap. Every club logo. Love it.
Our Eels. Well lets just say they spoiled the experience. Poorly played and poorly coached. I remain a fan of Holbrook.
We probably lost this game before the kick off. Hodgson should have been hooked after THAT pass. Surely BA is taking the pi** playing this bloke.
Ive never been much of a BA fan but Ive vowed to back off this year given last years GF achievement. Its getting tough to cop.
In the prediction thread I predicted a 9th finish. That appears optimistic. I also predicted Paulo having a disappointing season. Hes been poor.
No I havent been talking to Hineys little birds.
Loved The Cows defensive resolve. We need lots of that. We simply have no idea in defence. 4 off D coaches during BAs tenure yet nothing changes. Strange that!

Being a poor defensive team for 10 years is just bad luck.

Wait till he gets Parrafit!!!

People still complaining about goal kicking or robotic attack (equal 2nd in tries scored), when winning or losing close game where opposition scores 20+ papers over our massive defensive issues. We can score points but scoring 10 and conceding 16 will make for a bad season

He’s honestly got no f**king idea, it’s 2018 all over again. How did this merkin somehow get another 3 extensions after winning a spoon??? And I call him dumb, he’s a f**king evil genius.

Well we did get a new defence coach in. I just don’t know we poached hardly defensively noted Souths coach.
Then again we just needed new coaches, amirite?

That last try we let in was pathetic. Tits went nowhere all set and on the 4th they went two passes wide and there is a gap that Lizzo could have fit through. Of course that lazy prick Sivo stopped chasing after 5 metres and Brown had to come from nowhere to stop the break. Pathetic absolutely pathetic. Sums up this team in 60secs.

Maybe the new defensive coach has absolutely no input??? It wouldn’t surprise me Bea has shown he has no idea how to delegate it’s been the same rubbish structures for years. He gave Barrett 3 weeks and it was back to Bald ball. The only time we looked dangerous when we played Parraballl!!!

Antonelli is a drop kick. He used to be at the Bulldogs with Pay

He had to work for the company i used to be at during lockdown as he didnt have a job after walking out on the Dogs.

Wasn't a fan of the bloke there tbh.

Funny you mention Souths they have gone from conceding 19.5 pts a game last year to 15 pts this year.

And they have played Penrith x 2, Storm x 2, Roosters, Broncos, Sharks & a full strength Manly so far in 10 games.

Antonelli was probably the issue and now our problem.

Sounds like he will fit in well here, Bea only hires blokes with a worse resume than him. And if any show promise you are out the club quicker than you can say Frontload.

Only issue with Holbrook is i don't think he can coach defence either.

I think attacking wise tactically he is pretty good.

Titans defence is basically the same standard as us if not worse.

Yeah it’s a massive weakness for him, I doubt he’ll get 10 years to fix it though.
