Rd24: Parra v Broncos LIVE GAME DAY thread 30/8/19

[Gazzamatta]

I am glad you can stay positive, i just can't and i haven't been impressed with the Broncos much this year like i said outside of a few exceptions and you probably just named them.

Just like the dogs last week, we were beaten by a side that are below us for a reason and we didn't turn up for enough of the matches, both games were there for the taking and we failed with poor errors and lack of respect.

Haas and Fafita, that is all the Broncos have imo. The rest of the team is average and those 2 make up for most of the other guys.

I do truly love your optimism though, your head is probably a much better place to be than mine.......who am i kidding, your head IS a much better place to be than mine. My weekend is completely ruined and i'm already having a panic attack about having to face people tomorrow.

Tell em to get fuc*ed Korny. Takes a special person to follow The Eels this past 34 years. Took us 34 seasons to win our first and now its been 34 seasons since our last. That said I certainly enjoyed 81,82,83 &86.

Their salaries are also vastly different.

Cleary offered more in his first season. Cleary hasn't improved a whole stack but still takes some control.
I reckon D.Brown will improve heaps but I am not sure at present he is a great option. I think Salmon looked better, especialy his last 2 games. Started to look the part.

 

[Delboy]

A top 6 finish again?
Excellent.

Sure, but we won't threaten the top 5, improvement Windows come around and they need action. Coming 6th is better than last year for certain, but seriously need to improve and the opportunity is there.

It’s a fair point. There’s probably not much between them at this stage but Drown is much younger so probably worth investing more time into.

The broncos team is average apart from a few teenage forwards. Who’s their half partnering old man boyd? And a forward playing centre. We certainly aren’t going anywhere in the finals. I’m predicting a first game loss. That’ll mean BA will be 0-3 in September footy. He’ll end up rivalling Matt Elliot. (Zero wins in finals footy off memory).

 

[hindy111]

I genuinely believe Payne Haas will be the best prop any of us have ever seen.

Who the f**k regularly makes 150m+ and 35+ tackles at his age??

I didnt think he offered heaps tonight tbh. Evans outplayed him from what I saw.

I'm talking now. Does Brown offer more then Salmon?
I started to like the look of Salmon in his last few games.

I’m positive we’ll never see another.

Brisbane we can beat. Cant see us getting close to anyone else.

Much younger? Are you talking about Drown and Salmon? Isn’t drown 19 and Salmon 20?

We won’t win a game

I wonder who the last team to go into the finals with a record of LLL was? And how They went in their semi...

 

[Bazal]

I didnt think he offered heaps tonight tbh. Evans outplayed him from what I saw.

Then you should probably open your eyes because he made 210m from 24 runs, and 51 f**king tackles with two misses.... People fap over Mahoney when he makes 50 with like 8 misses, this kid did way better and made 210 f**king run metres at prop!

He is an absolute certified beast.

I’m sure Joshua could put a positive spin on those stats...

They want to be carefull what do with Salmon. Last thing we want is to have him slip through the net.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Hope his ears are bleeding i gave him a gob full.

Not a euphemism @Gary Gutful

It was merkin.

He certainly seems on the outer.

Yes, yes it was.

Fafita broke 15 tackles.
If Haas made 240mtrs of 24 runs id say great. 10mtrs a run. Just chalking up meters and tackles means nothing unless there damaging. Just usless numbers amd taking them off someone else. Fafita was 2 x as good tonight.

It appears we are more careful with recruitment these days. Mennings has been saying he wanted to finalise his deal for weeks. Gower has said he will play elsewhere if not wanted at Parra. Taka remains unsigned. Im hopeful we are seriously considering these guys Eels futures. Like I believe we need new voices in our coaching I strongly believe new players can invigorate a team. Just have to get it right. Sadly some of our players dont hate losing as much as they should.
