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

[JokerEel]

I pay $176.70 a month for 5 tix...it's time to stop this...the effort doesn't equal the reward...it's time to abandon until there is a change....my kids don't want to go anymore but they were the ones who insisted we renew....

It's pretty embarrassing..

The club has 30k members and they think that this is going to maintain that....

 

[Gazzamatta]

You know it's bad when even the apologists throw has given up

Just listened to their Post Game Poddy. They were at the club performing to an empty room. All supporters had left. Apparently other areas in the club were deserted as well.
The guys were devastated. The 60s guy put the loss down to being in Darwin. The 40s guy was hinting at "preparation" being a contributing factor. They are promoting an " End Darwin" hash tag whatever that means to the new tech set. Sadly a bad night for every Parra Fan.

I feel for them, bigger fans than i

Being in Darwin? Lol 40 points in a half and he blames Darwin? That merkin is on another planet with the excuses.

Dolphins weren't playing in Darwin?

How can they blame being in Darwin...

It has zero to do with Darwin. Look at the Tigers and Canberra games. We had plenty of good ball. Our attack is clueless. Zero depth or players in motion running onto the ball. Crash play/Lussick dart/ 3 passes to Lane. That's the extent to it.
In defense sides are finding space in the middle and on the edge. Huge issues.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Someone told me today we had a 45 min warm-up before the game on the field.

Surely that's a pisstake.

If that's true that's inexcusable no wonder they were cooked in the 2nd half.

It even goes as far back as the pre season challenge game against the Raiders. We drop our lollies in the second half big time.

That's wrong the commentary on Fox said we had a very easy practice before kickoff they said we were trying to save energy

The worst thing for me last night was not getting smashed by a depleted side, but Russell's put down.....any other winger in nrl and nsw cup scores that. Honestly, do they do any skill work?? All our players seem to be lacking any natural flair that other sides do effortlessly. BA seems to have turned them all into robots, and they can't seem to do anything outside the collision and ruck it up gameplan.

Maybe BA is waiting of an a shipment of AI chips from China.

Ill be there cause Im old school and hate waste. Ive paid for my tickets and wont waste them if I can help it.
Next season of cause is a different story. Might just renew Kayo instead the way its going. It really depends on one decision the club needs to make.

You’re a better man than me, kudos to you, but they deserve to play in an empty stadium

 

[Avenger]

From about the 5 min mark.

 

[The Predictor]

I got the 4 game season membership and depending how we were going I would have upgraded it to a full season..

I was even looking at paying for the 300 buck ticket no chance now..

My kids last night said no more games this year

I cancelled mine two years ago, fortunately or unfortunately knew what was coming

 

[JokerEel]

From about the 5 min mark.

Good listen..

You would think that the players he was talking about are now on notice...

The question also needs to be asked why are they not playing for him

We are Goldilocks. Canberra is too cold. Darwin is too hot.

 

[hineyrulz]

He’s better than every version of Lussick

Gronkles also sung Hodgson’s praises right till the bitter end. Hands is no world beater but I can’t believe he doesn’t offer more than Gutho’s charity case.

Girds made the best point. The coach needs to be judged on the systems he has put in place.
11 years and nothing.
Let’s remeber this is a guy in BA who from all reports I have read, earns twice as much as the PM. Without getting into a political discussion, it puts into perspective that the bloke has to f**king go.

 

[hineyrulz]

Sums up the club to a tee...

Embarrassing at every level, meant to be a multi million dollar organisation. I wouldn’t trust the people in charge to run a tuck shop.
