Rd14: Eels v Bulldogs GAME DAY THREAD @ Accor Stadium 13/6/22

[I Bleed Maroon]

We really have no excuses today.

The Dogs shouldn't even come close. If we get beaten today, we are nothing more than a mob of mentally piss weak losers.

Oh dear.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Is Mick Potter available NOW?

BA already sacked him once.

The bizarre thing about this team is that we're just as likely to win the comp as we are to miss the Top 8

Penrith are only warming up. Storm have had injuries. Bar heaps of injuries that's the grand final for me.

 

[Soto]

It's not only predictable, it's slow, catch and pass and the receivers are sitting ducks waiting to get smashed

 

[Incorrect]

what did it taste like.

Parramatta

 

[Bandwagon]

what did it taste like.

Mostly shit.

With a hint of gooseberry.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We’ll it’s obvious they aren’t responding to him, would this be happening under a Bellamy coached side?? Or Cleary??

Both coaches have lost games they were expected to win.

Fancy beating a coach that sacked you. Fancy out coaching that coach. How embarrassing

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Everyone loves Ciraldo. Until he's none from three.

 

[hindy111]

Our new coach. He starts in November.

f**k. I hope you managed those 6 beers. I just had my sister ring to tell me Dads been waiting all day to hear from you. Its his birthday. Now I feel like a massive merkin. What a shit end to the long weekend.

CB

just not good enough. The cattle is there but the structures or tactics are very lacking. We seriously need to ask the questions.

I think the structures/tactics work, maybe not premiership winning but to at least win some games, but if BA can’t get the players on the same page, it doesn’t matter what he tells them to do.

 

[hindy111]

If you want to finish top 4 you have to win these games. Plus they had injuries. We where full strength.

 

[Chipmunk]

Penrith are only warming up. Storm have had injuries. Bar heaps of injuries that's the grand final for me.

I can't argue with that, but there's still half a season to play.

When was the last time they were beaten 34-4 by the team running last???

 

[ElectricEelMan]

It is MUCH EASIER job to motivate a team when they play against a gun side like Panthers or Storm. You cannot judge a coach if they win those sort of games. A victory is usually an indicaiton of a talented team ... not a talented coach.
However, we can judge a coach by how a team plays against a lower quality side. Motivation is a MASSIVE part of being a coach when you play a bad team.
And it is plainly obvious that Arthur is having major problems in this aspect.

It is obvious the roster is talented enough to win a premiership, and the only way we can achieve that goal is through a coach not named Brad Arthur

Brad Arthur needs to be sacked immediately.

Yay, sivo’s back and we played the same as we did last time he was there.

 

[Eelogical]

There is lots in common with the games we've been up for, and there has been lots in common for the games we haven't been up for.

Essentially it's all about attitude.

There's no excuse for going into today's game with a bad attitude, especially when we already had our pants pulled down this year in exactly the same situation. While the score didn't reflect as much, it actually felt like we had 50 put on us today.

Bring back Opa and drop Sivo? BA won't do that.
