Rd12 2024: 735pm Eels v Souths GAME DAY THREAD @ Accor Stadium May 25th

[Sensei Cobra]

Sivo has saved his job with 3 tries no doubt

Pretty sure his error count is higher
Put him on the first plane to England

 

[the phantom menace]

Not picking on a young kid, but I'd put Blaize back in Cup next week, if Gutho and Penisini are fit.

Tell him and his manager to work out what position they think he's looking for a contract to play, and pick him in that position in Cup until he can get good enough to show he's worth a new contract - seeing as he refused his existing Player Option to stay with us.

40 points put on us by the team coming last. Who lost their 5/8 early in the second half. Who also had their best player and fullback binned for 10 minutes.

Because of this, I hope Barrett comes out in the press conference and says there will be changes. I’m sick of protecting these overpaid soft cocks feelings.

It’s literally going to be Mitch at 7. Dylan at 6. Gutho at 1 and Penisini. That’s 4 automatic changes from this week already.

and hopefully Hands at 9

 

[Delboy]

That should be the end of Lussick in first grade, obviously not up to it. Someone said that prior to his return from UK, when Hands started we were 9 from 12.

Joe O offers so much more than Junior these days, Talagi has no idea of positional sense as a fullback and tends to overplay his hand when coming into the line. Barrett needs to have a long hard think about future selections, it’s time to promote some of the younger players and see what they have got.

At least then any incoming coach will be able to make a judgement call on retention, some hard decisions to long term players need to be made.

RCG, Paulo and Hopgood have been garbage in defence too. Barrett needs to make a statement that it won’t be tolerated.

 

[Lemon Squash]

Hands was great.

Hands 9
Boods 14

It’s time.

f**k that
He can play whatever position the team needs.
If he’s not happy f**k off

He looks a good talent … I’d be putting him in centre but if he wants to hold off of signing to get more money and a guaranteed position … him and his manager can f**k right off

 

[King-Gutho94]

12 Losses in a row without Gutho

Most alarming is the defensive scores we leak when isn't there

16-18 v Melbourne - 2017 Finals
16-24 v North QLD - 2017 Finals
14-24 v Penrith - 2018
0-54 v Manly - 2018
4-14 v Cronulla - 2018
20-30 v Wests Tigers - 2018
6-12 v Penrith - 2018
6-40 v Penrith - 2021
10-46 v New Zealand - 2023
14-30 v Brisbane - 2024
16-48 v Melbourne - 2024
26-42 v Souths - 2024

Yep, if hands can’t play 80 give MA 15-20 minutes. BA is gone now and I don’t care how upset it makes Gutho but Lussick should never play again.

 

[JokerEel]

He’s the qld origin fullback. Slater would not pick someone as bad defensively as Talagi. To say Talagi is as good defensively as Walsh is laughable.

Talagi drops a bomb every week, is often poorly positioned for kicks and struggles to make effective tackles.

Broncos averaged 17 points a game against them lest season he was barely tested out the back but when he was he wasn't great.

Walsh's attack hides his defence same as Ma'am his defence is terrible for a 5/8 but can hide due to his team mates not being shit like our players..

Blaize has played less than 10 games at fullback of course he won't be in position like Edwards or Gutho.

He isn't worth the money his manager is asking for though no one at our club deserves what they are currently on

I think you may see this next weekend..

Lussick is gone in my books along with Matto Sivo and a few more

 

[Sensei Cobra]

Double

Mitch and Gutho are not due back for another 2 weeks (round 14) at the earliest

 

[King-Gutho94]

13 games left of this miserable season.

 

[The Predictor]

Can’t blame Trent for this shit effort, they’ve done much worse after halftime, no point sticking it to TB, he won’t b the coach, so what’s the point, anyone in any form taking this job, is handed a poison chalice, I’ve never come across a more non commital team than this mob, they are an abomination and embarrassment to the club, and the greats who spilled blood for this once great club, you would think after 40 years of nothing, they would have punted us

 

[JokerEel]

Let's hope Barret end the Brown to halfback option and moves him back to the left Asi hasn't been good but I doubt they are willing to play Sanders anymore...

Paulo and Reg are shot.. Reg does that once a few sets rushing out of the line to put a big hit and that's all...

Paulo can't run hard anymore was just watching when They scored Thier second try

 

[Wally21]

Let Moses blackmail another club for Talagis payday.

100%. His defence is horrendous

Agree I would keep Joffa and f**k off Barlow ASAP.

 

[Lemon Squash]

I’m excited to see what Blaize can do out the back off Mitch.

Outside/Inside balls and little trick plays up short sides etc Moses will know how to utilise his speed.

The seasons a write off, I’d persist with Talagi at 1. He isn’t going to improve without playing the position.
