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

[hineyrulz]

When BA gets a set on someone its all over.
Fui
French
Mannah
Cartwright
Brown

I wish he'd get a set on himself.

 

[Noise]

Is Flanno your preference at this point?

Flanno has always been my preference. Then Ciraldo.

 

[Gary Gutful]

That’s an outstanding avatar. My only concern is that he seems to have quite a large face.

True. Hopefully he doesn't say "the lads" as well.

Flanno is more likely.

But plenty of hair at least.

Euphemism?

 

[Ron Jeremy]

35 missed tackles.
BA: thought the boys tried hard and the effort was there in defence.

He has a lot of Hagan qualities BA

He has a lot of Hagan qualities BA

Even Hages got us to a prelim.

 

[Eelctrifying]

This has finally cracked me. I don't even care about the rest of the games this year unless they win the GF which is zero chance of happening.

I've been in Brisbane for over 20 years and I think I will follow the Dolphins in 2023. At least they will have a reason to be shit.

Also, can someone tell me the last time we actually didn't concede the first try this year?

So wait.. You'll give up the team because they're shit? Well i'm glad you have a choice then.

 

[the phantom menace]

It is infuriating. How can we consistently be so good one week and yet so poor the next?

I've had enough, BA has to go. The development club philosophy needs to change as well. Who are the gun juniors coming through? Does anyone think that a forward pack with Rodwell, El Zackam (sp) and Hopgood is going to be any better?

Watching the press conference it is clear BA does not know how to motivate his players. Talking about accountability, how about he takes some?

Because there is a laziness that has been in the culture of this club (and handed down even as new players join/rise in the ranks) for a long long time.

It might even date beyond the courrent coach - but it's the coach who has the responsibility to try (harder) to get rid of it.

I’m not fussed. We need change.

 

[the phantom menace]

what is the deal with brad why does he continually underuse the bench?

I think it's something to do with the 16 waterbottles at the window of his coaches box... but I haven't quite worked it yet. (And maybe neither has he?)

 

[IFR33K]

I wish he'd get a set on himself.

Hopefully Ba asks for a contract extension..

It's not that they are just shit. It just feels there isn't any effort there a lot of the time. BA said it's his job to get them for every game. This is not happening. Again, how many bloody times have we let the opposition score first this season?

Has there ever been a coach that has developed a disciplined, winning culture at our club in the last 36 years? We've been snatching defeat from the jaws of victory since 1986.

You could argue Brian Smith did.
