Rd27 2024: 6pm Eels v Tigers GAME DAY THREAD @ Campbelltown Sep 6th

[Poupou Escobar]

11 years don't end over night, his impact will influence this team for seasons to come

We’ve inspired Arthur too but! Leeds also played the worst team in the comp last night and put 60 on them.

They must have front loaded like they've never front loaded before

 

[Pazza]

Yep and I’m most interested in our future.

What do you think is a realistic expectation for the 2025 season?

Source???

We won five straight in 2021, 2020 and 2017.

But there were byes inbetween those wins. The most we won was 4 weeks in a row. No wonder why were never a serious contender in all his time here.

Top 8....a few tweaks and some good additions and we will make the 8.
I'd give Gutho off til Jan...let him get his body right.
Ionghi, Lomax and hopefully 3 more first grade signings will help elevate this team.
Ryles needs to fix
A) defence
B) fitness
C) Instill a winning mindset

I'm actually quite optimistic about next yr with the right changes and hopefully we get a winger, back up halves and a backrower and prop.
I will say this about Asi I think he was superb last 10 weeks playing the organiser.
I'd love to keep the bloke.
He was hammered by a lot but he's proven everyone wrong.
He can play.
Also loved that absolute ripper of a bomb he hoisted last night. Mason had no chance

 

[Gronk]

So if the hooker Api is facing 3-4 weeks for the pile drive on Gutho, why wasn’t he sent off ?

We know that if Gutho stayed down and milked it what would’ve happened.

NRL Judiciary Report: No charge for Munster following GF

You’re a deadset grinch Gronky.

Get off our grave before one of us brain dead zombies reaches up and shoves a spoon hard up your clacker.

Show some sportsmanship like ‘ken Gutho.

What happened to the footy code of honour?

Good thing we didn't make a grand final in that time.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

There’s no way Gutho is going to give evidence against Api.

What he’s going to say is that he “slipped” or something like that.

He’s fully solid and hates snitches.

People jerk on about his personality deficiencies but at the end of the day, he’s drips with character. I love the prick, I regret not spending more time following his career.

 

[Legal Eel]

If things don't turn around it will be interesting to see when people think thats on Ryles rather than BA.

You can only keep hoping mate … he unfortunately Ryles failures won’t sugarcoat BA - so you might be hoping in vain

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

@Gronk should offer an official LU moderator apology to Api and send some flowers to Gutho while he’s at it.

Yeah we should’ve won during the bye ffs

 

[Gary Gutful]

I don't think we will improve that much under Ryles. If we have less injuries we will do better than we did in 2024, but perform similarly to 2023. Put us down for 10th.

Hopefully we’ll get a proper wrestling coach. We’ve completely neglected ruck control the last 11 years.
Penrith had been working with Gracie Smeaton Grange for a few years and look at their work around the ruck. They’re now working with the bulldogs and it’s no surprise to see they’ve improved in this area as well.

What am I hoping? You might be hoping that I'd be hoping something, but you might be hoping in vain.

Way to miss the point you disingenuous merkin!!

 

[hineyrulz]

Good thing we didn't make a grand final in that time.

I wish we didn’t make it, it was utterly embarrassing. Proof it was a fluke.


Penrith smashed us twice, we beat an average Canberra and then squeaked past a Cows side that completely shit the bed.

Cows form since then hasn’t been great either just like us.

One thing gives me faith. The Moses long kicking game but the kick chase needs to be soooo much better.

 

[T.S Quint]

When was the last time we won 2 in a row.

We win 5 in a row last year from round 12 to round 17 (with a bye in there as well).

Fell in a f**ken heap after that though.

 

[T.S Quint]

When was the last time we won more than 4 weeks in a row??? Not in the last 11 seasons thats for sure.

See above.
