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

[Jake the snake]

When young Stefano was coming thru our best jnr forward since Paulo we didn't sign him. He walked for 275k. This shows where we are at with identification of players.
We yet happily paid Murchie close to 250k.
Then we extended Jnr,Lane,RCG and Matterson for 4yrs. None should of been given more then 3 MAX.
Right now Stefano would cost us 750k I would say. How much do guys think those 4 signed on for? We could of had one of the best young props for another 10 years and not having to worry about that position amd costing the same as what our old worn out guys do who have all gone down hill since their extensions.

This. They have no idea!

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.

They are sponsored by the Leagues Club. Toeing the company line. One of them mention we would by 44-12? HAHAHHAHA they have f**king no idea.

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.

That's bullshit. We make 39 decoys and almost 50 supports per game. But if there were fewer last night it is down to fatigue.

How does a coach in his 11th trip to Darwin f**k up the preparation??? Against a new club without their coach and 7 of their better players??? We didn’t pick a back up dummy half for Lussick who’d been struggling to punch out 80mins in much cooler conditions and 3 big middles on the bench. If you wanted further proof Bea Arthur is absolutely clueless last night was it.

Too bad the Board members have far less of a clue than he does. We have become the North Sydney Bears a punch line to a very long and sad joke. If the Board haven’t already sent out feelers to Bennett they need to be done 9am Monday morning.

Boys club. Don't rock the boat and everyone gets a nice pay packet.

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

The bloke is hilarious, biggest shill I’ve ever seen.

Sarantinos is quoted in that article that the Darwin deal is under review.

Contracted until end of next year.

Looks like last night was the final straw.

Piss it off

Could also mean an extension.

I’ve had diarrhoea all day out of that game.

Cmon mate our attack is horrid.

We are mid table for points per game and 15th for points against. I don't know why you fixate on our attack. Does it make it easier to blame the coach? We have big roster problems mate. Blame the coach all you want for that but sacking him won't fix it.

 

[Chipmunk]

I don't think is a surprise to anyone to be honest. He's clearly playing busted.

Ffs he is the dude that helps with building the squad. Don't pretend he isn't. He would be saying let N.Brown go. Sign Lussick etc.
The side lacks energy. This is a coach problem. Look at St George. Same side and a different coach. Most tipped for wooden spoon. They are a fringe top 8 side with flannagan

If the Darwin contract gets extended the current board should be sacked.

It's inexcusable and irresponsible if it gets extended after the past 3 years of results

We choose to play in Darwin.

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