Rd24 2024: 8pm Eels v Chooks GAME DAY THREAD @ Allianz Stadium Aug 16th

[Matty Bhoy]

No doubt it’ll improve but Talagi’s defence is really not up to scratch. Not our problem in three weeks time I guess.

 

[JokerEel]

They wanted to show how loved he is, but bent us over regardless, that’s what happened we gave him a chance, put in him in shop front window…rest is history

Worked out well another masterful idea by BA ..

Blaize was the Aussie under 18s or 19s halfback so our club plays him at centre then goes no wait you should go fullback but we are going to play you in every position in first grade before we actually develop you and your skills and have a clear plan.

Reserve grade next week. Why keep playing him if he's not going to be here..
Give a bloke who is going to be here first grade experience

 

[Matty Bhoy]

Gus and Gallen ripped into us deep in the post match segment. Gallen’s points were meh… a lot of players have options contracts and it’s all about the players at the Eels and not the club.

Gus said Ryles has a massive job ahead of him and trying to buy a whole new squad won’t work. Said Parra are always looking for the quick fix instead of development.

Slater said Ryles might just be the man to turn it all around and get players wanting to play for Parra.

Nothing ground breaking but there you have it.

This week in cup we have

Mulitalo
Dunster
Martin
Harper
Lumelume

Not sure who would replace Blaize unless Tago goes to centre and Sivo to wing which I don't hate.

I’d say that’s the answer. No doubt Talagi keeps getting picked though.

Gus said trying to buy a whole squad won't work?

Ummmmmmmmmmm.

Doggies 1 developed player in their first grade squad...

We don't need to buy many players really now.

Decent enough starting 13 next year ffs ..

Gutho
Simmonson
Penisini
Lomax
Sivo/Russell
Brown
Moses

Barlow
Hands
Joe
Kelma
Carty
Hopgood

 

[JokerEel]

Greig will probably be out next week wonder if Moretti is back or Parker gets a run

Interestingly Ryles and Gus are mates, regularly chat. Gus even mentioned it on his podcast this week, how they recently caught up for a chat/coffees after Ryles was appointed

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Thought the effort was pretty good! They tried hard. Roosters to classy! Did ok considering the players we had out and the 2 binnings!

Moretti done for the year. Quadriceps injury. Spoke to one of his mates on Wednesday or Thursday

Bee stings is the biggest hypocrite.

Cleary
Griffin
Pay
Barrett
Said Parra has no development and always gone for quick fixes...ummm hello
Dogs 1-17 except Bailey Hayward are externals...lying piece of poo that he is..

Or Russell to centre and Tago/ Martin/ Mulitalo wing...

 

[TheParraboy]

Dating a reserve grader has lowered her imo.

Gus has a agenda with everything he says.

I wouldn't trust that cretin with anything.

Phil Gould boasted about how basically every single player from 2 years ago is no longer at the Bulldogs. He did the same thing he said we shouldn’t do.

I thought 17 odd thousand on TV...can't remember now..

Does it matter at this point…just drop the little prick

I watched both channels post match reviews.
Fox had Munster...Parker said and paraphrasing now that he liked parras performances last couple of weeks and players left are having a crack but knows a season like this players just want it to end. They then threw to Munster.
He said Ryles will clean the joint up, said to parra players after the game at Commbank good luck with ur pre-season you're going to need it once Ryles takes over and then had a little chuckle.
Said Ryles will have this team more mentally tougher and grittier next yr.
Said it will be a different Parra next year.
Also defensive structures under Ryles will be key like what he did when he went back to Storm.
In summary he was very praiseworthy of Ryles. Knows he's tapping players to shape the roster the way he wants and obviously the style he wants them to play.
I'm hoping players he wants gone, go and we start signing players.
We need in my humble opinion
Fullback, Winger, 2nd rower, front rower and a hooker.
If we get these 5 signings we have enough good players to be very competitive again particularly with Ryles approach and Influence.
