Rd11: 735pm EELS v Raiders GAME DAY THREAD @ GIO Stadium 13/5/23

[JokerEel]

BA has gone off!

 

[emjaycee]

I had a sinking feeling when he was interviewed at the end of the Penrith game, he said that we’d been playing well all season without reward, but he was pleased to get the win. It seemed like he was satisfied that continuing to play the same style, against slightly weaker opposition, would see us winning a lot, and end up comfortably playing finals.

I reckon he now sees that we’re gone. That’s because he and his game plan haven’t adapted. But it’s easier to blame Atkins than to accept your own contribution to the ongoing failure.

So do you think the 10-3 penalty count against us was fair?

 

[Bandwagon]

No other coach in the history of rugby league would persist with hodgo and dunster as much as our dopey shit for brains coach.....

I am now at the point where I'll be only watching our games hoping that we get smashed and never win another game this season, so this stubborn dope of a coach can finally get sacked.

Didn't you say pretty much the exact same thing last year?

 

[JokerEel]

That was a f**king joke, no force to head, all incidental, bunker says ba-bung

It was the same with Cartys penalty it was only a penalty because the merkin lost the ball..

I don't understand how 99.9% of Parra supporters can see this issue but the one man in charge refuses to act. Coaches can't afford to have egos

 

[emjaycee]

We did choose to gamble on lilely more inferior players than those they were replacing though, no one forced these mostly inferior players on the club.

Our squad was nearly as crap last year with maybe 12 genuine first graders.

Roosters Dropped their halfback for poor form and it wasnt as bad as Hodgo....

 

[hineyrulz]

Our stats throughout 2023 have been similar all the way through the year.

I'm not sure Brad Arthur is having much of an impact in addressing these things with the playing group...

Mate addressing any short comings of the playing group isn't the coaches job mate.

They had a suitable replacement. We don't have a suitable replacement for:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
9.
13.

Leaders need ego.

Without it you're all fetal in the corner when shit goes awry.

.......and they aint exactly setting the world on fire since

So do you think the 10-3 penalty count against us was fair?

Which of the 10 penalties against us do think wasn't a penalty?

 

[EelsFan05]

I'm not sure BA 'went off', but clearly the pressure is on now. And he is trying to deflect some pressure from the playing group.

 

[DaveMc]

So do you think the 10-3 penalty count against us was fair?

Your question is a non sequitur.

But to answer it, I thought a couple against us were dubious, but I personally don’t give a shit what the penalty count is, as long as it’s justified. There’s nothing inherently wrong with a 10-3 penalty count. I’d prefer a fair dinkum 20-0 penalty count than a contrived 5-5 count.

Why yes, he did.

He was proud of the team but yes as big a crack at the refs similar to the penrith final at Atkins as you will get from BA.

Wasn't a ricky/Des type one where he risks getting a fine.

But thats all he talked about was the penalty count.

 

[hineyrulz]

We? are you a BA apologist?

You know me mate, i just love me some Bea Arthur. A doyen of coaches.

I'm surprised you didn't get worse after A) refeering B) Bunker C) our dumb shit D) Use of the interchange again E) still having BA as coach
