Rd4: Non Parra games

[Poupou Escobar]

If you don't like being the underdog, f**k off and support someone else.

f**k off Pou, no matter what the club does you will spin it into a positive and make excuses and shit the goal posts all you like.

If the club was spending 20 million on the football club you would be supporting that as well.

We don’t have a head of football, and no defensive coach either and it shows. Our recruitment was horrible last off season and we are coming last. We could be 0 from 10 and you would still be making excuses and finding positives.


At least it will be hot again Monday and you will have another ready made excuse.

Mate I'd rather us spend heaps and cheat the cap and go broke every ten years like Manly. 2016 was probably the best chance to win the comp we've had since 1986. It might be our best chance for the next 30 years as well.

But don't whinge about shit nobody can change. Max wasn't brought in to win the comp, and everybody else was brought in to do their best within budget constraints. Just accept it.

Accept just making up the numbers???? I’m an Eels fans we’ve been accepting it for over 30 years.

Does pissing and moaning really make you feel better about it?

WTF?

This attitude sums us up, accepting mediocrity for another 30 years?

How much longer can any of us sit here and just accept making up numbers, enough is enough we are a footy team with a loyal supporter base who deserve more then what we have gotten in recent times.

I want to see a good competitive footy team week in week out, not a team that starts like we have and we have to sit here and accept it.

Our awful recruitment, lack of replacing a defensive coach and no head of football is starting to show, and more so the question needs to be asked, why?

And no we can't change anything and people wanting more then mediocre shit on here isn't going to change anything but it's the attitude of not wanting more that has summed us up for 30+ years and it's becoming more apparent each and every passing year that we tread water.

 

[rapture]

As a fan, it doesn't make a lick of difference whether or not you accept mediocrity.

Well you'll be pleased to know that in my personal life, where I can control the outcome, I don't accept mediocrity.

We jagged a top four finish last year, we can do it again.

It's hardly pissing and moaning, i was just commenting on our situation and you went into deflection mode like you normally do.

People giving opinions and talking about the team is what this forum is about.

Well you seem to have an answer for any slight bit of criticism of the club so I am glad you don't make excuses where you can control the outcome.

Yeap great we came 4th, unless we do it again or better we've gone backwards.

No one remembers that when it's all said and done, sadly we had our premiership window in 2016 and the more I look at it the more I fear we missed it. But currently there is no excuse for our current state.

NO f**k YUO!

 

[TheParraboy]

It looks like Ricky threatening his players that many of them are on their last chance hasn't had the desired effect.

Time to strike and bring Junior Paulo back next week or two...

Why wouldn't we go backwards after a peak? That is the nature of peaks. Name one other coach whose team hasn't peaked and gone backwards? Premierships aren't inevitable, and it is the lucky coach whose team wins a premiership every time it peaks.

I think it's likely. We were spending more money on players at the time as well. No coincidence.

But currently there is no excuse for our current state.

Sure there is. It's three f**king games FFS. Bad luck happens, just like good luck. Does Arthur's 29 wins in the last two years mean nothing because we lost to better teams in the finals then lost three straight to start the year? He has earnt the benefit of the doubt.

 

[hineyrulz]

Coming 4th and going out backwards is not peaking.

 

[TheParraboy]

anyone else have 0 from 5?

if knights, titans and tigers win i'll have 0/8 for the round

sniff

 

[TheParraboy]

Next 3 rounds Raiders play

Bulldogs, EELS, Souths

Surely they win one of those?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Time to strike and bring Junior Paulo back next week or two...

Yeah I wonder what he's going to do now. I don't think they have the depth to sack a bunch of players. No one really does. It was a dumb threat imo as he's now painted himself into a corner and might have to cut off his nose to spite his face.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Coming 4th and going out backwards is not peaking.

It might be for us.

 

[hineyrulz]

True, anywhere but the bottom 4 is taking i suppose.

2 from 5!
I'm killing it!
