Rd16: Parra v Souths GAME DAY thread (27/8/20)

[Gary Gutful]

Before Moses went down with his calf I did. More recently, I thought if we could play through the garbage we have been dishing up the last 7 or 8 weeks, grab a few wins then eventually we might click. I now concede that was a fantasy. So if you don’t think we’ll win the comp you’re essentially calling the season as well. I’m glad we agree.

How many teams win the comp every year? 'Calling the season' must mean different things to you and I. We should discuss this further over a big chewy Former Tennant.

Welcome to the darkside bruv!!! On a more important note i hope your wife and bub are doing well.

Oh, thanks, bro!

Wife was discharged yesterday, but bub is in the NICU until at least tomorrow - he had some fluid in his lungs, and was breathing really rapidly.

My wife is really sad that he isn't at home with us - she really loves the little (I say little - he was born at 4.74kg!) guy, as do I!

But he has been on an antibiotics IV for the last 3 days, and is doing really well.

We hope to take him home on Saturday .

I now realise why you’ve come to the dark side @Eelementary. Sleep deprivation is a powerful thing.

Seriously writing off your season is laughable. Tonight wasn’t good but have a little faith, things in this competition can change very quickly.

 

[Avenger]

Could well be mate. I'd be OK with a change at the end of the season. Provided its the right one though and not just a bullshit reaction where we end up with Matt Elliott.

We won't sack him because we are gutless but if we did who would you take? I have one coach in mind that I think would be a chance if we offered him serious money even though he is under contract and another who has at least won a comp.

This I can agree to

No bro. We are done.

I hope you don't take me saying this as being facetious, or anything, but I genuinely admire how calm, and positive, your outlook is.

I am done with this club. I am so tired.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Your shout. I am a bit short at the moment.

 

[Mr Parramatta]

We really need to get a new 2/ 4 / 5

Sivo and Fergo have been found out on the wings time for a change...

We need to start being like Penrith bringing in some young blood.

You can add Waqa, he is a f**ken turnstile!!

Haha I can only guess it would be!

I've been home alone from last Wednesday, to last night - but then, I always sleep poorly, so...

My poor sleep probably demonstrates why I became an Eels fan...

It's literally just a game

We don't even play

I'll be much more gutted when I inevitably get a duck come October. And even then I'll have a beer and move on

All good mate. I'm not calm and positive, just apathetic - I genuinely gave up giving a shit after our 29-0 loss to the Cowboys in 2005.

 

[Kilkenny]

No bro. We are done.

Fine. Better being in a bit of a slump now, plenty of time to turns things around.

If this was a one-off, then maybe you might have a point.

But to be honest, the side has been fluking wins for a more than a month:

* Shaun Johnson forgot his goal-kicking boots, and we win by 2;

* the Storm were denied a fair try, at a time where we were struggling to hold them out, and we end up holding them to nil (had the try been awarded, they may have rode that wave to spur them to victory);

* we were LUCKY that the Dogs' only good attacking player is Foran, and their hooker is trash;

* we were lucky that some very harsh calls went against the Knights.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We haven't been 'up' for about 6 weeks even though we have won some close ones against shit sides. It's very f**king concerning.

I thought we were up last week. At least in defence.

I'll clean you up with one of my world renowned inswinging yorkers. All 20 spectators at Deakin Oval will shit themselves with excitement.

P.S. Nice to see you back here.

Damn - that sucks.

I remember that loss - it stung me more than our 2001 Grand Final loss.
