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

[strider]

Who?

Jake Trbojovic .... he did well to still make a thousand tackles

 

[hineyrulz]

Did you happen to be fornicating a Chimpanzee at the time?

I didn’t get their name.

How did that ease the f**ken pressure? Merkins were talking all week that Jake Arthur being dropped proved it was the reason we lost ffs.

And you're right, we didn't lose, but you'd never f**king know it listening to the whingers.

As for Cartwright, it hasn't just been Jake Arthur named ahead of him. Whatever's going on with Cartwright it's well within character for him to shit the bed and find himself on the outer at a club. Nobody ever doubted his talent but he's already been moved on from two clubs. Could he be about to make it three? You wouldn't bet your house against it. A lot could've happened between Tuesday and game day.

My mail on Cartwright is that the club thinks he needs more match time and sitting on the pine wasnt going to do that so he was shifted to 18 as coverage but allowed to play Reggies cause he didnt play NRL.

Not too sinister a motive.

And Rein was planned to be in the 17 but copped an injury. Basically JA was last man standing.

So he wasnt game to tell coach that he had a tummy pain? "Tough it out boy!"
Hows that for a theory?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It's definitely someone's fault
