Rd16: Eels v Rabbits GAME DAY THREAD @ Accor Stadium 2/7/22

You must be Demented old man. How does a loss make me happy you fruit loop? Just because you are backing a loser f**king coach and I believe he needed to be sacked 5 years ago doesn’t make me want our team to lose you moron. Get a grip

ease upon my mate. Strider never said any of this BA love.

WTF merkin? I had $40 on Souths. These players are always a chance of shitting themselves in a nothing game. Souths had the bounce back factor in their favour too. They were red hot. It’s convenient to want to blame the coach though.

The coach motivates the player
The coach creates game plans
The coach picks the side, the captain
The coach picks supporting staff and coaches

This coach CANNOT motivate the team when it is needed.
This coach has been outcoached numerous times this year and cannot change his game plan when it is so obvious it needs to be adjusted
This coach picks the same team over and over again, which leads to complacency and a mindset that nothing needs to be changed
This coach has chosen the wrong captain and the wrong supporting staff

He has been given the chance, multiple chances n fact, to show he is the answer. It is quite obvious that he cannot lead us to a premiership. That is our goal. That is every teams goal. But people like you are satisfied with less than that. That is why we haven't a premiership in 36 years. That is why teams like the Roosters win premiership every so often. They strive to improve, they strive for success, they strive for a premiership.

You and supporters/administrators like you are satisfied with less than success.

The coach is doing a fine job. Grand fianks arent won in July . We are waiting for the final series. That's when we will turn it on. BA is slowly building the team for a September run. Getting them fit and in sync.

I hope you're right but I don't think you are.

 

[Happy MEel]

I'd rather Jnr tbh

Tapine is far more consistent and does plenty of the tough stuff in both attack and defence. I’d find it much easier to follow a merkin who is giving everything in both facets of the game. Paulo definitely has his place in the team though.

 

[Happy MEel]

I hope you're right but I don't think you are.

I think a tongue was firmly planted in Hindy’s cheek…and it wasn’t the Ram’s.

Biggest issue for me is

Guthersons contract

BA contract

Wether we persist with Moses whonisnt evolving into a calm steady half.

The rest of issues I don't care about. They are the main 3.

 

[IFR33K]

Where is
@Gronk
@Poupou Escobar

Who cares. Both have nfi and are more argumentative than each other.

 

[IFR33K]

Those f**kers have gone quiet @Gronk @strider @Poupou Escobar

Strider should be nowhere near those other two.

 

[Avenger]

Looks like he’s off contract in November. He’d be my first target if I was coming in as a new coach at Parra. I’d be seeing if I could offload Nrown and possibly even RCG if I had to, to make it work. Alternatively, we could use Nrown’s coin from 2024. If Ciraldo could offload Gutho and lure Crighton over that would be awesome as well. A few of their outside backs wouldn’t hurt either.

Nathan Brown’s last year is 2023.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I cant recall one tackle where our defenders actually forced a Souths attacker backwards tonight. Souths on the other hand did it numerous times to our attack.
Another 30 points against tonight.
Our for versus against is poor year after year. Systems used not only through our NRL team but the whole club simply do not achieve the required result. We have a whole club mentality driven by the head coach that continues to be ineffective. All grades and probably junior teams as well.
Our mantra is "more effort" regardless of the circumstances. Theres an old saying about working smarter not harder. It appears we missed the email.

Except last night Souths beat us on effort. They won the middle, on both sides of the ball. Of course the coach bangs on about effort. It’s our weak point.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The coach is never to blame.

I blame the coach for seasons not games.

 

[hindy111]

I hope you're right but I don't think you are.

Either do I. I was being sarcastic

 

[Gary Gutful]

I was here posting all through the game ... yeah it is f**ked ..... but glad another loss has made your weekend happy again. You seem to get a nice kick out of us losing. Good for you.

Its the only time the dickhead ever turns up around here.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It’s honorable that you are loyal but his days are numbered mate. No chance he lasts until the end of his contract. The time to act is soon.

I don’t care mate. I support the club, not the players or coach. But I don’t think coaching is our problem, I think our problem is recruitment and retention. We need more toilers in our pack and better go forward from our back three. That’s what suits the current rules.

 

[Soto]

He’s the best forward in the game ATM.

Get him, Josh Curran and make Joseph Suualli our fullback.
Guth can play centre or hooker. I'm not joking

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Ryan Carr….who will he attract?

Trent Barrett got a few big names to Canterbury.

 

[Soto]

I don’t care mate. I support the club, not the players or coach. But I don’t think coaching is our problem, I think our problem is recruitment and retention. We need more toilers in our pack and better go forward from our back three. That’s what suits the current rules.

It's his team and his tactics.
It's on him

 

[Noise]

I blame the coach for seasons not games.

Me too. I blame him for this season and the previous 8 season failures.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Just like it’s convenient to want to blame the players. They’re both equally to blame. The difference is though that the roster has changed over the years and we’ve had players dropped from the first grade side, even this year. The one constant is BA in the coaching role for 9 years with nothing to show for it, so it is completely logical to want a change in that department and focus on it.

No the difference is you can see the players’ mistakes and lack of effort. Whatever impact the coach had in an individual game is not measurable. That’s why I only judge them over full seasons. As I’ve said before, Arthur’s only failure was 2018.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Strider should be nowhere near those other two.

Yes, very silly post.
