Rd25: EELS v Roosters GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank 18/8/23

[JokerEel]

We need to sack Brad Arthur before he puts his other son up to first grade.

Actually played ok

 

[84 Baby]

I was thinking we were going to have Mad Monday next Friday. Silly me, we had Mad Monday 3-4 weeks ago. Certainly playing like we’ve had a session

 

[Bandwagon]

You can just see there is no talk or trust on our edges, merkins are trying to solve problems all by themselves and we are just opening up.

 

[Legal Eel]

I have a question for emjaycee.

when you called six weeks ago that we wouldn’t win another game, what exactly was it that you knew that informed that call?

I’m curious because it was an odd call from someone usually so positive, so I’m curious what problems in the club made you such a fatalist?

 

[JokerEel]

Rooster are playing bad btw

 

[Jake the snake]

The coaching is what is clearly lacking. A team cannot be this bad so far into the season. The way our defence is coach is so damn embarrassing.

the absolute jokers on here that defend this coach is a joke. We should have sacked him 7 years ago. He’s an oxygen thief. Shambles.

 

[Pazza]

you'd think BA would be sick of looking like an idiot all the time

gotta admire the mans perseverance

 

[the phantom menace]

We all know it, we all can see it. This squad is way behind the required defensive structures and capability (and motivation?) required to compete.

Letting in three tries in the twenty minutes before half time - that Tedesco try was abysmal (and we're talking a pretty sub-par out of form version of Tedesco now too)!

Sure, we're missing Moses and Lane from our best possible 13 - but that shouldn't make such a difference in defensive performance, when you've got also Matterson (who seems contractually obliged to start from the bench) in the mix.

And don't get me started about the attack...

 

[Suitman]

We need 2 new wingers and a centre next year...

No we f**king don't.
We need a new coach who has a clue.

 

[eels_fan]

Hard to imagine a worst possible performance.
Sivo’s brain still suspended
Gutho’s challenge
The entire left side defence

in good news Bali has cheap flights in 2 weeks so the boys can head over there and get smashed while the final round plays out. Hopefully some get their boogie boards filled with narcotics and free up some money on our cap

 

[Chipmunk]

Rooster are playing bad btw

Yeah, I was only thinking how far both these teams have fallen, lost confidence and are so far out of form. We're making them look half decent by how shit we're going.

I thought he must have been being sarcastic, or attempting satire about people that weren't showing positivity?

Turns out he's close to completely on the money.

Watching this game, if I didn’t know our team, I’d think we were missing 6-7 first grade players tonight and were running out half a team on debut

 

[Chipmunk]

Brisbane are winning.

They better win, I've tipped them.

 

[hineyrulz]

We tried for 25mins. Bea will be
Chuffed. If he is coaching next season the club needs him to be folded because the powers that be don’t give a f**k and aren’t trying.

 

[Wally21]

Our back line looks absolutely f**king clueless.

 

[T-Boon]

I’m sick of this. I’m supporting the panthers now.

 

[Happy MEel]

f**k me we are poorly coached. We have no idea how to defend or to put on an attacking set.

That’s a bit harsh, considering we’re only terrible at the attacking and defensive aspects of the game.

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

Our back line looks absolutely f**king clueless.

*coachless

 

[Noise]

Also WTF has Hands done wrong? Our season has gone to shit since Lussick got his slow arse into the team.
