Rd24 2023: Non Parra games

[the phantom menace]

That Raiders performance was very poor.

But I still think the f**kers will still sneak into the final 8. They should be cannon fodder there though - will be good to see 50 points be put on them and Ricky in the finals.

Under 58 though.

Would rather keep that record of biggest finals win.

Ricky presser was less then 90 seconds not even enough time to have a handful of popcorn

So Knights jump up into 7th place, they've had a good month or so and turned up for the challenge.

We're only two points out of 8th place, but still have two teams with better for/against between us and a finals spot. Rabbitohs and Cowboys aren't going to give up their places above us easily.

Souths: (A) v Knights, Bye, (H) v Roosters = 4 points
Cowboys: (H) v Sharks, (A) v Dolphins, (A) v Panthers = 2 points
Eels: (H) v Roosters, (A) v Panthers, Bye = 4 points (maybe)

So Souths retain their 2 point advantage on us, and Cowboys likely retain their for/against advantage over us.

Raider are 4 points clear of us with an imposter's for/against... but they'd have to lose every game to slide below us:

Raiders: (H) v Bulldogs, (H) v Broncos, (A) v Sharks = 2 points

It just isn't going to happen. Top 8 will be:

Penrith
Broncos
Warriors
Storm
Sharks
Knights
Souths
Raiders

The Sharks running 5th shows what a joke of a comp it is this yaar, and we couldn’t sneak into the 8. Besides his spoon this has been Bea Arthur’s most embarrassing failure. Should be frog marched out the joint as soon as the season is over.

I’m just waiting for an Email to members from our dribbling CEO telling us to stick behind Bea and the boys!! Then we will have another Clayton’s review that will tell us we are a development club and Bea will get another extension. Embarrassing!!

Cowboys likely retain their for/against advantage over us.

If we were to somehow miraculously get to 32 points, and the Cowboys drop a game, for and against will be pretty close.

Cowboys making it could depend on them beating Penrith last round, which could likely depend on the team Penrith put up.

Brisbane play the Storm on the Thursday, round 27, Penrith play Cows on the Saturday, they'll know if they have the MP in the bag or not, If they do, they'll for sure rest as many merkins as they can, if not they'll only rest merkins if they feel they really need to.

He actually said what Arthur should have said at his presser.
Can’t stand the bloke, but at least he called his team out on the fact they gave up after 20 mins

BA thinks he is coaching the Rouse Hill Rhinos you have cuddle everyone all the time.

On Ricky he is a petulant sook I would give up on the prick too.

They will need to consider their approach before TLT.

Ah yes, another review . The first review was done by one of MON’s good mates. It decided we would become a development club and MON would be the best man for the job. As a result the development of our players is garbage. The next review was looking at our pathways and done by Nathan Brown. It resulted in finding nepotism involved and Nathan brown getting hired to fix the pathways . You can’t make this shit up!!!!

They can name 22 players on Tuesday. Still allows them wiggle room for 5 players to rest.

 

[Bandwagon]

Yeah, which will include reserves, 18th and 19th man, so still a fair bit of flexibility there.

On top of which if it's a nothing game, they can ask big minutes of those replacements and give their starters less, pretty much effectively resting them anyways.

And we wonder why we are the joke of the league with the longest running premiership drought. Talk about embarrassing.

 

[Avenger]

At least he has the balls to say it as it is and as you know I’m no Ricky fan.

 

[Stagger eel]

we could only dream of a melt down by the HC but we wouldn't want to upset the children would we?

 

[hineyrulz]

Well the boys love BA!! I wonder why???

And where the fu*k is Brown? Last we heard was that he had nothing to do so he would become part of The Womens set up. Lots of hidey holes out Parra way.

The Sharks have won at least one of their games when they needed to. Also shows what winning those games early in the season does to your chances at the end of the year

Parra have just folded in the last few challenging games (Cowboys, Storm, Broncos) where a win would have seen the set for the finals

 

[T-Boon]

Just looking at this pre season NFL match between Rams and Raiders.
Boom! those jerseys the RAMS wear remind me of why I chose the Eels as a kid - the colors are stunning!
The fact they are playing a team in boring white jerseys (it took me a couple minutes to even notice the other team).
The RAMs are doing a much better job or representing the colors than the EELS.
