Rd4 2024: 4pm Eels v Tigers GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank Stadium Apr 1st

That requires experience and confidence. Not a skillset you get from backups. You bring the backup in and he might do more of the kicking if that's his skillset, otherwise more senior members of the spine step up. At Penrith that's Luai. At Parra it's Dylan Brown.

How's your Sydney trip been?

Went to a pretty good funeral today.

 

[Soto]

He's a top 17 player on top 17 money. We signed Harper when we already had Simonsson and Penisini on the books.

Like Simonsson is the answer as well. Please..he's barely 1st grade.
We need to recruit a winger, centre, 2nd row and hooker for next yr.
These are our problem areas.
We also need start looking at the fullback situation and a genuine halfback back up...

Went to a pretty good funeral today.

How old was he? Was it unexpected?
It's sad but we are all at the age now where this happens more regularly. The cycle of life before the afterlife.
You don't have to answer my questions.

I think Pou's dad passed away

 

[yy_cheng]

He was soft as melted butter...no ticker.
I compare him to Rawalawa and Olam. They want to run through concrete walls...he turns his back alot...
He should've trampled Staines...he got owned by Staines...

Maybe it was the new defensive techniques he go taught. Don't go in so hard... and he changed his attack to be the same

Sivo doesn't strike me as a smart guy.....just saying...

Gotta be careful, people will call you a racist for saying things like this these days.

My condolences again buddy. Losing your dad hits hard. I hope you are doing ok

Serious????

I would think calling him lazy has much more of a racial connotation, and no one has complained about that.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Can anyone blame him for not going to Harper??

@Avenger could.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Nobody loved the 80’s more than I did but we really as a club need to move on from that era. The TCT podcast was basically another dedication to that era and I get it to some extent as Eric Grothe Sr was the guest but for God sake it’s worse than some old MASH reruns.

What else have we got to promote ourselves? F**k all.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Lol, just watched the presser. The journo asked what made you decide to change the starting lineup? Guth lights up and looks at ba like yeah, why did you change it?

Classic! What happened after that?

 

[Gary Gutful]

BA is a professional footy coach at a club he loves.The issue of recruitment is outside his control and when he had more say was I believe under Bernie Gurr where we had some signing success. The committee approach is a result of the accounting bodies in the club, terrified of the audit problems we suffered from 6/7 years ago.

Not saying he has no blame for selections and tactics, but believe he gets really ticked off when players are missed, but we need a dynamic person in that role. Shane Richardson comes into a club and gets busy, difficult to see anyone like him given the tight rein we see from our committee heavy accounting type structure.

I have no reason to doubt your insight.

If true, I find it appalling that our head coach doesn’t have full say.

I feel bad for the poor demented, cue-ball.

 

[The Rosco]

FFS I was just about to post this..

Wests on the backfoot Brown playing the ball our 5/8 ready for it with Kemla and Will on his outside.

Which way does Lussick go and whats the outcome...

You seem to be the replay stills guy.
Can you do a still of each time your guys flopped 2nd or 3rd man on a tackled player ? Far easier to search for. Happened 3 times in each set.
Maybe try and put 3 pics in each shot, otherwise you be like Cecil B DeMille.

No one has complains because the general public still thinks Sivo is good. Once people start to realise he’s a lazy slug there will definitely be people that just jump straight to it being racially based rather than just him putting in zero effort.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Went to a pretty good funeral today.

I hope it has all gone as good as can be expected. Plenty of time on the plane to give some of these deadshits a serve.

Oh I can find more of the tigers flopping in if you want... At least we got pulled up for it once...

Also leg pulls seem to be ok again in tackles Seyfarth was a fan on doing them.

We scored some points in 2001!
