Rd7: Eels v Knights GAME DAY THREAD in Newcastle 24/4/22

Bellamy should let Munster go and get drown

If Brown was smart he would be getting out of this club and away from that bald imbecile ASAP. Imagine what a real coach could do with this kid???

I fail to understand how you'd move our best young player to accommodate JA.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

While it wouldn’t be my preference, it’s not unexpected when you have the following 6 backs out from your top 30:

- sivo
- blake
- Dunster
- russell
- opacic
- the Fijian
and Marata

that’s some injury crisis…..it’s not like BA hasn’t tried several other options before making this move…

 

[Parra]

Opacic out?

 

[Eelogical]

Awful jersey design.

Looks like someone splooged all over it. Any idea who?

Telecrap proved what garbage they write when they said on Friday.

Parramatta offered them Jake Arthur in a swap deal for munster for 2023.

It was that funny i couldn't believe they would actually write it.

Jumped on Newcastle at $2.90. Absurd odds

Because the coach is an idiot who cares more about his son than the football team and club.

Even a moron like Corey Parker is calling out the decision.

 

[Eelectrica]

Drown in the center's will probably work better than Fifita in the Center's worked for the Titans. Not sure the Titans are the benchmark we need to be looking at right now though.
Brad Authur might actually be trying to get himself fired.

Knights come in 30 cents incentive sides named lol

I got 3.20 yesterday.

BA just interviewed. Said that they literally have no outside backs available in the 30. Dylan has trained there all week and he has a licence to roam. He has instructed Jake to give Dylan early clean ball.

I don’t think it’s worth getting hysterical about it, it’s the safest move to shut down I assume Bradman Best or Gagai. Even still that will be a job.

They literally have no other outside back they are saying.

Lack of experience available…..doesn’t want more inexperience added to the backline especially in defence

 

[EelsFan05]

I like BA, put he's starting to lose me. I wonder how many times Fitler or Daley calibre players were moved to/back to the centres for the coaches son....

 

[hindy111]

From what I have seen Yates and Hands offer more as a 14 then JA.

I also would prefer to have given Greig or Rodwell a spot and put Matterson into centre

 

[Parra Cheeses]

Ponga will expose our edge defence with cutout passes.

 

[Eelogical]

I think I might step up to the mid-strength beers today as a precaution.

Don't leave me on my own with the zeros.

That’s all well and good but the merkin already shifted Drown to accommodate Jake in round 1 when we had more outside back options we could have used on the bench (if that’s what his concern was).

BA better be bloody confident of bringing in 2 more quality players into our top 30 before the deadline, as there’s no other reason not to bring Cini into it. If he doesn’t, he is even more incompetent than I thought.

How often did the raiders have 7 backline options injured?

I agree that none of the NSW cup guys should be called into backline. Laizou isn't up to it and neither are the other guys.

Still I feel Matterson would be ok at centre and it doesn't effect the halves.
Anyhows I hope Jake has a great game and wish the kid well.....
