Rd5 2024: 615pm Eels v Raiders GAME DAY THREAD @ GIO Stadium April 7th

[Mickyd39]

BA will not get sacked. The club is piss weak.

 

[hineyrulz]

She has no idea about rugby league.

She should get a gig on the Eels coaching staff, she'd fit right in.

 

[Bandwagon]

it’s depressing - the only answer left is to sack him and reset.

I know a lot of you spend a lot of time on here, but anyone who argues otherwise is either not an actual parra fan or just delights in needling parramatta fans.

Yeah nah. Anyone who doesn't agree with me isn't a true fan is a shit merkin argument for dumb f**ks

 

[Gazzamatta]

At this point it really seems like the only person here who isn’t sick of the BA show is the resident troll Pou.

Theres one or two others.

 

[Legal Eel]

Yeah nah. Anyone who doesn't agree with me isn't a true fan is a shit merkin argument for dumb f**ks

Not about agreeing with me - it’s about having any idea about rugby league.

he’s done - if you don’t think so, then you can’t possibly want success for this club

 

[Soto]

BA's presser was as embarrassing as the performance.

Effort was there didn't really feel like 40 points out there conceded. We weren't soft.

Just need to get the fundamentals right and flush the performance down the drain.

Lol he must think we just lost...what a loser

 

[hineyrulz]

But (ping @emjaycee) why would we ever sack BA before his contract extension runs out at end of 2025 .

Management are probably planning on an extension as we speak.

 

[Soto]

The one constant is BA...apologists stop trying to defend him. He's cooked. We need a new coach.
We had a supercoach break the drought in 81. We need another supercoach to break the drought again...come on down Mr Wayne Bennett...get in before soufs do

 

[Gazzamatta]

Hmmmmm. The presser was pretty depressing. Lacked ownership imho both BA and Gutho.

 

[hineyrulz]

You stink

Racist!!

 

[Bandwagon]

Not at all. Our froward ran ok but did not hammer them in defense. A good pack does both.

By eye I reckon we did, and the stats back it up. We limited their meters through the middle fine, we gave it away on the edges.

For example, in losing last week Papalii and Tapine made 102 and 169 respectively with 49% possession.

So with 15% more ball they made 20% less meters between them in a loss vs a win and our forwards didn't aim up?

f**k off they didn't

 

[hineyrulz]

@hineyrulz why these baldies do call me a George

They are jealous of your long flowing locks mang.

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

BA is probably scratching his head wondering why the team is so poor on game day when they are absolutely smashing it against our reserve grade side at training...

 

[yy_cheng]

Apparently our fundamentals aren't good

 

[The Predictor]

Slater, Bennett, Holbrook, f**k, I’d take Madge. We need change

I was joking, I’ve wanted this joker gone for along time

Could just be smart tactics by Ricky, directing the Raiders play to our obvious weaknesses on the edges, compared to our only usual strength in the middle?

Imagine that - a coach that changes the game plan against different opposition!

Yeah beats me

Same dumb argument rephrased is the same dumb argument.

With this I think our 2nd rowers are not doing their job at shutting this down going to our edges..

Lane and Matto are not great at defending
