Rd2: 530pm Eels v Sharks GAME DAY THREAD @ Shark Park 19/3/22

[Noise]

How is it that a coach keeps his job this long without winning anything?

Not quite correct. He won a spoon.

 

[Gazzamatta]

He wasn't part of the game plan and why he had no mins. BA doesn't think he is good enough to inject Into the side and make a positive difference. He was picked incase of an injury only.

Rein and Hands if play well may take this spot. Mahiney isn't an 80min hooker for mine. He drops off tackles late.

Been saying it for years mate. We need to lessen the load whoever our 9 is given how many tackles they are required to make. It totally styfles any spark in attack. It wont ever change though. Rein had a cracker in the 2s last week and Hands was outstanding when he came on.

Brad Arthur is still basking after the premiership winning trial win against the Panthers. How is it that a coach keeps his job this long without winning anything?

Stability mate!! It’s all about stability.

I’ve never seen anything to suggest we will ever be close to being a premiership threat with him in charge. It’s laughable really.

It's round two but I feel like I have seen enough not to have seen enough change. 6th -10th for me. I hope in the next 4 weeks things change but our structures look to similar.

THB the only side that has impressed so far is the panthers, and traditionally the premier’s normally start fast but fade out in the second hard of the year.. no other side really has great stand out form…all are going pretty average like us…

this comp is wide opened….

yeah I am definitely not impressed with our form, but what has starting fast done for us over the last few years…

Those dicks in the media knew what they were doing. Pumping up the teams tyres fully knowing that coach is f**king choker and nowhere near premiership quality. Not with this joker in charge anyway.

and I’ll remind everyone again. The idiot chose his son on the bench wasting a spot and never played him. WHAT THE FRIG??

I can’t disagree that it’s laughable, but f**k me dead, I’m not getting any younger, and I’d love to see another premiership in my lifetime. I genuinely don’t believe that with this squad we wouldn’t have won one, or at least come very close, with a Bennett or even a Cleary.

Anyway, I guess I’ll continue to hope my heart holds out until it happens.

Too much hair Bruv.

 

[DaveMc]

I’d it’s any consolation, while Morrison was swinging his Sharks scarf, it looks like his party is being absolutely f**ked in SA, which must have implications federally. So hopefully he’ll have a proper excuse to be pretending he gives a shit about rugby league at Sharks games despite his prior proclamations in the near future.

 

[Jake the snake]

At least Pricky Stuart lost today. That gives me some solace

Don't eat fats and carbs together. And get rid of those seed oils. You'll be good for a couple more trophies.

That ruined my almost perfect round!

This is the attitude to take. Just bask in the misery of the merkins you hate. I do it.

I’m sure I read reports from somewhere saying how good our defence was in the off season. Who the hell were they defending against at training against 5 year olds ?

The cum throw where calling Simmonson superman.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Nothing. Jake was always going to play. Someone even said on here that he was wearing the yellow training shirt this week as if he was in the 17.

That was me. Maybe BA was aware of all the negatively around Jakes selection last week and it was an attempt to lessen pressure this week.

I love Parra, but not that much. Here for a good time, not a long time, especially with my family history.

 

[hindy111]

The last try was on Mahoney. He didn't come across and left a hole. They had numbers. I dont blame him solely. He was tired and out of gas but he left the hole.

I actually do think there’s something to this. Coming out of the blocks as a polished team hasn’t done us any favours in the last few years. It’s disappointing that they haven’t been able to put on a clinical performance in a premiership game yet this season, but our 2 or 3 or 4 win starts to the season in the last few years hasn’t meant shit when it comes time to win finals games. Maybe we’re pacing ourselves.

 

[Gazzamatta]

I'd go after Panthers assistant coach Jake. Before the Dogs snap him up. We must beat them to the punch.

Hes targeted as Bennetts eventual replacement up north.

 

[DaveMc]

I will say this - I think Penisini has the makings of being the premier centre in the game, his running game is scarily reminiscent of prime Michael Jennings. Lock him down now, and for a long time. He could be anything.
