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

[Gary Gutful]

There might be cause. 11 years of pathway architecture doesn't vanish overnight.

(Didn't he flick young players in positions his kids played?
We might have seen one of them in action last night...)

When will it become Ryles' team? 2 years? 3 years? 11 years?

 

[Tiger5150]

Are you talking teams or stadiums?

We'll have you as a fan if you bring Lachie home with you!

His Dad says no....

 

[The Predictor]

People will be bitching about him for years to come.

Because he was he for 11 fkn years, that’s alot of bitching to get through!!

I don't think I made any comment to that end.

Just observing people might have cause to whinge next year (if that's their cup of tea)

 

[oldmancraigy]

We turned a 20m profit last year. I reckon his dad could be 'persuaded'

I'm just stirring you. But also I think Galvin is an immense talent, and it would be a shame to see his development suffer while Benji fumbles around in the coaching box the next few years

(We might not be much better as a place for him to develop though)

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

Mate im not the one keeping a tally

Eat a massive bag of dicks you wanker!

The production rate will be high though and the load will be shared.

I agree with you regarding Benji. Im hoping Luai helps Galvin & Benji next year.

He's already planning to give Galvin a boom box for Xmas.

 

[EelEtric]

Be nice if he re-learnt how to catch a f**king bomb, though

Wow, he dropped an absolute pearler of a kick - they arent easy mate so you are probably being a bit harsh.

For me Ryles is a risk (I get SK chills up my spine.. ) - but (for me) he gets 12 months grace - we'd want to see some defensive improvement.

 

[hineyrulz]

The BA era ended months ago.

Shame it wasn't 6 years earlier.

you strike me as the type that would have a bag handy?

It was a pearler. Asi put one up as well. Didn't know he had it in him.

 

[hineyrulz]

Well he is stuck with the majority of the squad at least until 2026, plus it will take a while to get the Bea stench off them.

 

[EelEtric]

Nope

There were 17 teams in 1999

1995 - Gold Coast
1996 - North Qld
1998 - Adelaide
1999 - Western Suburbs

 

[Poupou Escobar]

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

Source???

We won five straight in 2021, 2020 and 2017.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

With that win Barrett finishes with a better winning record here then Kearney and Ricky Stuart.

I think it was probably deserved as well tbh.

Barrett didn't deserve to add to his shit record to finish the year and we never folded and conceded 50 under him.

We probably should have iced 3 more games after he took over the Dogs, Penrith and Knights.

Brisbane we were up 16-0 and the Roosters home match we were leading with 10 mins to go.

Those 5 games we put ourselves into situations to win and probably should have done so.

Only six of fourteen teams we played under Barrett are in the top eight. In our first ten games we played seven top eight sides.

 

[eels_fan]

Yeah 5 in a row is the most we ever won under BA. I remember him making a deal about it in the press conference back in 2021 and thinking how poor that was that.

I wonder if any other club has not put 6 consecutive wins together in the past 12 years?
