Rd7 2024: 8pm Eels v Dolphins GAME DAY THREAD @ Tio Stadium Darwin April 19th

[hindy111]

Any defence of Brad Arthur’s position after this game is not made in good faith - it is just an attempt to troll parra fans.

Plain and simple - it’s literally indefensible

I'm sure Gronk will

 

[Nutz]

We have no idea how to put players on their back when we tackle. Too often we are skittled behind the play the ball. In BA's time we have never been able to wrestle effectively.

You have a bloody good roster. What's the go? Coach?

 

[84 Baby]

We were trying to stay in the game...they were always trying to win it...loser mentality guided and directed by loser coach

We weren’t even trying to stay in the game. The first try should be the f**king wake up call, second try because it’s f**king Darwin maximum. Eight f**king tries later is a little late to think maybe I should put a bit more effort into getting off the ground to marker, and when we have the ball maybe doing the shit they’ve been doing might be effective

I’d let Bennett coach us via Zoom while floating around on a pool noodle at his mansion.

Why did I just picture that so vividly....dsmn you

 

[hineyrulz]

What was that paying? Russel butchered it
I had St George at $3.30 into us.

38-1.

 

[Mickyd39]

BA would be a good fit a Souths, maybe he should go there, now!!!!!!

 

[Eelogical]

I blame the home jersey.

This was a deeply disappointing, but moreso alarming, loss. It shows, to me, that we’re far behind the eight ball in terms of how first grade rugby league is played these days. We have limited mobility in the middle, which is a killer in an era of quicker middle forwards. The problem with that is that there’s no easy fix - the problems (Paulo and Matterson especially on tonight’s performances) are on contract for a while. Lussick is absolute dogshit, for the record.

I love the guy, but this is the first time I’ve genuinely thought Gutherson might not be the best fullback choice for us. Going forward, the genuine challengers will be zippy and adaptable. I don’t know that Gutho is. Maybe if he’s busted next week that would be a blessing in disguise, to give Blaize a go at fullback. His defence is ordinary, but he’s quick.

Things will need to change pretty drastically for us to have any chance of making the 8. Our for-and-against is utter dogshit already, and it’s hard to see that changing any time soon. We have just conceded 9 tries on the trot to a team with about a third of their salary cap on the sideline.

However you look at it, that’s the most insipid Eels performance since … 12 days ago.

Time for change, from top down. It’s not all on BA, but he’s definitely a very large problem. This is a team that is not adaptable or dynamic. Let’s just hope that Lomax doesn’t have any second thoughts - given the drastically different performances tonight, I think I’d rather be playing in a Red V than Blue and Gold for the foreseeable future.

So true, every paragraph.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The f**king stupid thing about it, it’s not he first time we’ve been carved up in Darwin by small teams and yet we somehow forgot that

Hands in for Paulo?

 

[Noise]

You have a bloody good roster. What's the go? Coach?

Yep and our senior players are lazy f**kers which the coach allows.

 

[Legal Eel]

I don't have all the information, so the best heuristic for that is the decisions the club makes around him. If they sack him he deserves it. Likewise if they keep him.

So literally - whatever happens, the club did the right thing!

What more information could any human being with a functioning brain and two eyes possible need to express a definitive opinion?

Bea Arthur has taken his glasses off in the presser.


lol He's call us a part time footy time. He is the epitome of part time.

 

[Soto]

Presser on now

 

[Pazza]

Luca Moretti has hands like feet.

hes the new peni terepo

 

[84 Baby]

Lussick. Every f**king time...

He was bad but he doesn’t even deserve singling out. Hopgood should try playing like that for Queensland and even Fittler have a chance at winning series. f**ken Matterson, Lane, Paulo, RCG, Moretti, Harper, Brown, Asi are all players I noticed multiple times not fighting to get to marker. The first f**king try should’ve been the punch in the face to reinforce that

 

[hineyrulz]

Bea Arthur throws the players under the bus lol.


Players have to fix it, of course Bea because nothing is ever your job lol.


f**k off merkin grow a pair you bald fraud f**k off and f**k off now!!

 

[hindy111]

Guthersons knee is not lasting the season.

 

[Wally21]

I think I might email the club and ask to cancel my membership and ask for a refund for what I've paid so far this yr

I did that last year in protest for the fraud of a coach not being moved on. The club don’t deserve $900 per year of my hard earned, for me and the young bloke to go

Pizza at Hindys?

 

[hineyrulz]

To be fair the ball was at his head.


Lussick makes M Keating look like Cameron Smith.
