Rd21 2024: Eels v Storm GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank Stadium July 26th

[the phantom menace]

Lane is the laziest merkin I’ve seen in a long time. Surely Ryles taps this insipid prick on the shoulder.

True.

I reckon an 80 year old would beat him in a stress test

It's disgraceful how unfit he is

True...

Why does asi always have that look on his face like a child that just got scolded by his parents????

Someone explain to me why its Ryles number one priority is to sign Blaize by promising him fullback.
That headline has popped up on my phone 10 times this week.

New toy on the block overrated.

Everyone is in for a rude shock next year with Blaize at FB.

As I was told Tonight

Blaize should have been kept at FB in Cup all season to learn his trade.

Instead we have given him more positions then what Phil Blake has had clubs.

Blaize is physically ready for FG but mentally and decision making he is 2 years away.

Throw in fact he has milked us for what 3-4 months now and still yet to sign should be seen as an insult.

Like seriously is he committed or what time to make a friggin decision.

Hodgson

Huh?

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

I'm starting to think that Ryles has got no hope in fixing this mess....hope I'm wrong.

A rookie coach is not what is needed, and now think that macguire would have been the better choice.....anyhow, too late now

Will is a player that needs early ball... He will never be a player that hits an outside line to beat a defender... Sad that our coaching staff and supporters can't see that
[/QUOTE]
I wonder could he play 5/8?

 

[the phantom menace]

In the presser your coach is saying you guys are missing 10 starters, wow, who are they?

I think only 5 - Hopgood, Simonssen, Sivo, Tuilagi, Moses... and maybe Paulo (debatable / regular benchie)? The others missing aren't starters.

 

[the phantom menace]

I wonder could he play 5/8?

Could we turn Penisini into an edge forward? He couldn't do worse than some of the efforts of others in that role this season.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see anything to suggest that Talagi will end up any better than Dunster.

He can’t pass very well, kick or make smart decisions.

Been saying it for months...

Should have been playing fullback in cup until he was playing that good you had to pick him in the NRL squad... But prior to that you resign him for another 3 seasons ffs

I also think that it's rich that the kid that played ball at fullback and pretty well was overlooked for Blaize..

What was Madge doing in the crowd tonight BTW??

Has Ryles signed him up as assistant coach?

Was just appreciating what a smart decision it was to avoid this joint

I'd love that.
Or at least a consultant..

I was wondering the same....if he has signed him as an assistant, then I think that's excellent.

They all tried hard tonight , even Lane tried but really he is not the answer to any question. How is a club as big as the Eels have Asi as the no 1 half replacement, seriously he is bog average and playing him more than once of twice a season is asking for what we get. Understand Sanders is leaving, but he is a 7 with a decent kicking game and can manage the line.

We are like an IPad that needs a hard reset, do it as soon as possible or you will see it implode. There seems to be some good young players under Cup level, time to start looking at them, and signing a few backline players with speed. Seems simple, not sure we are on top of it, hopefully Ryles will start the massive shake up needed.

 

[JokerEel]

This was a very nice try all setup by Brown

 

[hineyrulz]

Brad arthur has screwed this joint over like no tomorrow.

Boods spitting the dummy is the final straw for the Arthur clan.

None of them should be welcomed back ever again

But but but but but but but they all Bleed Blue and Gold.

Fraud's on and off the field.
