Rd21: 735pm EELS v Cowboys GAME DAY THREAD @ Country Bank Stadium 22/7/23

[hineyrulz]

24-16 loss to the form team of the comp with every player available, against a side missing 5 of their top 17, in humid conditions with a difficult referee in charge.

Mind you, the Foxtel crew agree with all you pea hearts, Sounded like the Cowgirls won by 50 and they sympathise with the owboys coach.that they did it tough. Never change Foxtel , thought it couldn’t be worse than having Alexander and Voss, it we got them tonight.

Go have another cry about Uncle Nick lol. Now it's the Foxtel commentary teams fault lol. Must defend your close buddy Brad at all costs lol. We were absolute garbage tonight we were just lucky the Cows weren't on their game we should of had 40 plus put on us. I watched the game with a Cows fan and he was unimpressed how they played. But yeah defenders gunna defend.

Yep it's never the coaches fault for anything, it's the NRL's, referee's or the Roosters and Uncle Nicks fault. It's now even the Fox sports commentators LMFAO!! The season is done and dusted. We went in this season with no back up for the injury prone Hodgson and no backline depth whatsoever. I mean who is responsible for this?? Instead we stock pile middle plodder forwards and being back dross like Andrew Davey. We are easily the slowest team in the NRL. Slow as the coaching staff.

Lol i was just thinking.... Ba is like a pentium... But we're in the age of i9s

As long as the team tries every week and we remain competitive, that’s important. You may not have noticed we are down 5 of the top 17 and still in games. Believe it or not, the season has been OK, enjoyed the good wins and although disappointed when we lose, apart from the Warriors game the side has competed.

As long as we try thats the main thing lol. This isn't Rouse Hill f**king Rhino's this is apparently professional sporting organisation. Glad you don't coach any of my teams........

Whatever, most posts you seem to make are critical and taking a pot shot at the club and team. I’ve been following the club for a long time and even though it will be difficult given the draw we have had, I live in hope.

This site was much more Enjoyable quite a few years ago, but it’s followed the direction of social media in general, finding fault, negative and keen to target individuals at the club. Like a lot of older and in the past regular posters I tend to take time away but then I come back as I love the club. Some have just decided to not bother.

Translation - Post with what i agree with or else. I'm gunna quote Bart here and just tell you to put everyone you don't agree with on ignore. It will be half the Eels forum but at least it will create you a nice safe space where your mate Brad is the bestest EVAR!!!!!

He's made some stupid decisions, has BA, and I'm not a big fan of his.

But I reckon the stupidity of Brown, RCG, and Sivo - combined with Matto's decision to skip games, and our bad luck with Lane, and Greig's injuries - has had a bigger impact on our season.

All of that isn't on the coach??? This is the culture he has fostered for a decade.


There has been zero accountability from day 1 unless you are a younger player or tell the coach what you think of his sons footballing abilities.

Keep it up Jizzboy and i'll put you on ignore!!! The bettererrrrr posters might come back and tell me Bwad is the Bestest coach Evar!!!

But that doesn't suit the narrative that it was a close game and we tried really really really hard. Thats all that matters is that we try hard.

Delboy has a skinful 2 or 3 times a season and comes on here to tell us how shit we are and how shit the forum has become. I was only thinking last week that he was due on here soon.

You forget about the waqa factor

Who should have been there and wouldn’t have made those errors ? Coach went for the 170 game player.

This is just one of those seasons and has had that feeling since Matterson kept the $4k in his pocket.

It really has been, we just keep losing guys for whatever reason, signing Joffa for immediate release when we had to plug some holes in our forwards for a few weeks, only to have him injured within ten minutes of putting on our jersey kinda sums up our luck this season.

Annus Horribilis

Dyl and reg might help, but waqa attack and defence, or lack there of, would still let us down

 

[Noise]

Matto taking the two weeks?
