Rd18 2024: Eels v Rabbits GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank Stadium July 4th

[Noise]

I reckon if he was going he’d be gone by now, but how can you call yourself a development club when you can’t even keep your best talent. Amazing how all the Rhino juniors were well under lock and key before anyone come calling.

Would have been a tragedy if we lost the holy trinity of Loizu, Russell and Jarthur.

Maybe Blaize's agent just wants to use us to pump up the contract price the Dragons are offering - but has to hold off until we have a new coach in place to agree through the R&R committee on what we're willing to offer/pay?

I think Mark O'Neill's ratchet clauses - where certain player payments increase to maintain a percentage of our overall cap - are going to come back to haunt us. It's just bad business for a club, and limits our future cap flexibility

But isn't all these player options keeping there price tag down.

Play Blaize at FB next week.

Move Gutho to 6 with Drown at 7 with Moses out.

Then move Gutho to centre after origin and see what happens.

We have the bye...it's gonna be tough

The NRL will tweak the rules and interpretations so the big types are not lost.
Unfortunately we will have changed our side a bit and be behind the eight ball again.

A good coach, a smart coach will adapt with playing style, with recruitment and with training and agility..
Not chase the f@^$&$ collision. Run hard and tackle hard. What are we a u14s side???

 

[King-Gutho94]

Would have been a tragedy if we lost the holy trinity of Loizu, Russell and Jarthur.

They might have to go back and play at the brand new home ground of the Rouse Hill Rhinos at Samantha Riley Drive Reserve where the fields ain't even level and the field is too small they can't even take a penalty kick properly because the ball ends up on the road.

No wonder russell doesnt know where the 10m line is

Samantha Riley Drive Reserve

A large sporting facility with multi-purpose turf sports fields, extensive parking, local playground, basketball half court and picnic facilities.

Joffa is on track to win 3 wooden spoons at 3 different clubs in 5 years.

Surely that has to be a record.

He's the Glenn Lazarus of spoon winning....

Imagine a hard running backrower surprising our oppositions defense with an outside in line while they are all sliding to then sideline. Heaven.

I'm pretty sure Doorey ran that line last night, but Dylbags himself ran at the exact same gap instead of passing the ball.
It got awkward, they may have accidentally kissed, I'm not sure.

Ah yes, I remember that. Brown was like, wtf is going on here? Doesn't this bloke know we only run towards the sidelines around these parts.

Actually, now that you mention it. I remember Tago stepping back in field when he made a break. And two bunnies defenders being so surprised that they tripped over and slid out of the field.

*skeepe’s

we dont want another one of them, one is enough

 

[Twizzle]

I loved the Temora Terrier, what a debut for a kid with his own fan club.

 

[eel01s]

I really hope BA gets another head coach job for next year. He can take Paulo, Lussick, Lane, Russell, Sivo, Penisini with him.

We are so slow and unfit. Opposition defence just waits for us to run to the sideline, as there is little chance (only Moses and Brown have speed but have rubbish outside them) of them being burnt or stepped.

The reverse Lazo.

Tago used the Scott Mahon step off 2 feet if I recall correctly!!!

On a positive note, Talagi is improving; Hands is improving; Guymer looked good on debut; Offahengui is looking good; Moses is good; Tago looked good on debut. Lomax to come. Hannay will have something to work with next year - and may bring a speedy back(s) with him next year. I hope he can do something with Penisini, who has just stagnated.

Brown needs to be at fullback. Force him to stay involved.

I actually think Hands has been poor the last 2 weeks..

Lots of missed tackles

The reverse Lazo.

Does that involve straps and a swing Hiney?!
