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

[Poupou Escobar]

We choose to play in Darwin.

No one has a gun to our head to play there.

Who chooses to play in Darwin? How many people in our club do you think would prefer to play it in Sydney?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He's upset because people like me amd you called it years ago and where called death rider. But hey we where right. And the nut huggies where wrong

Arthur is sitting on a 52% win rate. He is obviously better than most coaches.

 

[Gronk]

With all due respect, are you really not upset that we haven't won a premiership for 38 years and don't look like winning one anytime soon?
Does this not bother you at all?
I've seen all our 4 premiership wins, yet this bugs the shit out of me that I haven't seen one since.
Come on man, there must surely come a time when you lose patience with the lack of success of our club? A club that has all the resources to be far more successful than we have been for decades.
It is unforgivable that we haven't done so.
It is no wonder that fans are going ape-shite crazy after performances like last night.
Yet, we've seen our little brother to our west win 3 f**king premierships in a row.
Go figure which is the better run club.
You either care about our club being successful or you don't. Continually making excuses doesn't cut it in my mind.
Sorry mate, but that's how I feel.

The “upset” thing was hindy111 trying to drive a wedge between the people that he and hineyrulz think don’t complain enough in their eyes and the people that complain constantly.

Don’t apply that to my feelings about the club that I love and it’s success.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Hodgson only played like 10 games last year. What are you on about ? That’ll do me.

We have not made the finals since Jake Arthur was in the team. The death riders said he shouldn't be there and they have been proven wrong.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If we beat Manly next week I'll still be drinking at the Brookie hotel till it closes next Friday night at 3am after the game.

Or the security eventually ask me to leave

We're a 100-1 to win next week.

It'll pay about $3

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Don’t watch channel 9s coverage but apparently Barrett was interviewed at halftime and said they were happy with the first half and the second half would be low scoring and we just needed to grind it out to win

And we didn't grind it out at all. We completed 83% in the first half and 73% in the second.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yet, we've seen our little brother to our west win 3 f**king premierships in a row.
Go figure which is the better run club.

Since the eighties they've got more pokies and better local juniors. I blame demographic change.

Team needs Boooods.

 

[hindy111]

In 2014 he was saying to find more TPAs. Do you really think he wanted the 2022 squad broken up by the salary cap?

So what are the senior players responsible for if not motivation? Where does their leadership come into play?

They have a negative points differential ffs. This time last week they were coming 15th. Suddenly the Warriors have one bad game and the Dragons are the success story of the year? They are the flavour of the week.

Here's a tip
Saint will finish above us on ladder

Bullshit. All you do is make excuses about this poorly run club and anyone who has been calling for change have been called death rider for years on here or made out they are dope and don't understand footy.
Now you are starting to realise we where right and this is you just making another excuse. This time it's me and Hineyrulz driving a wedge.
Stick to waving the flag.

BOOOOOOODS

Or

Hear me out

They are just at better run club and have the right merkins in place...

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Here's a tip
Saint will finish above us on ladder

Did you tip it before Moses got injured?

 

[hindy111]

Did you tip it before Moses got injured?

Brisbane are missing Reynolds and Haas.
Penrith have been missing Cleary.

Moses makes zero difference to last night or against Canberra.
Asi was instrumental in us beating the Cowboys sonic Moses played maybe we lose that one.

You're a fool.

 

[Suitman]

Who chooses to play in Darwin? How many people in our club do you think would prefer to play it in Sydney?

Our 35000 members perhaps?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Or

Hear me out

I think that's obvious. Why do you think those merkins won't come and run our club instead? Is it because our fans don't demand it loud enough?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Brisbane are missing Reynolds and Haas.
Penrith have been missing Cleary.

Moses makes zero difference to last night or against Canberra.
Asi was instrumental in us beating the Cowboys sonic Moses played maybe we lose that one.

So you're saying you did tip the Dragons to finish ahead of us before Moses got injured? You didn't just wait until they were ahead of us on the ladder?

 

[the phantom menace]

Arthur is sitting on a 52% win rate. He is obviously better than most coaches.

But not Ian Johnston...

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Our 35000 members perhaps?

And more importantly, the coaches and players

 

[the phantom menace]

We have not made the finals since Jake Arthur was in the team. The death riders said he shouldn't be there and they have been proven wrong.

"Proven wrong" only to an idiot's level of required proof.
