Rd8 2024: Eels v Manly GAME DAY THREAD @ 4 Pines Park April 26

[King-Gutho94]

At least they tried this week, the stupidity of this team has shone through though.

Sanders tonight has been excellent for a rookie. Shows Beas decision not to pick him to replace Moses was f**king idiocy.

If we beat the tigers and Dolphins as we should have.

A performance like tonight is acceptable.

But unfortunately It isn't

Yeah we had a crack but seriously the moment as a club you start accepting honourable losses you are kidding yourselves.

Hearing the Manly fans on hill label Nrown as some cult hero made me angry.

The same Nrown that bled for this club and was sent out the back door like a piece a trash.

Manly have shown this year he had plenty of footy left in him.

Yet BA knew best left in the cold until GF day then shipped him off.

Yep. The choice to have Paulo start from the bench this season has been forced on BA through this ageing/poor form factor - I think BA deviated for a game to start Paulo and things were worse!

Under the standard bench plan there's probably 5mins overlap in the first half, and then usually a bit more in the second half. But we're just short on adequate forward defenders in this squad, so maybe it's time to cut our losses and move some highly paid people on.

Sounds like you’d love some plod

See you next year @hineyrulz!

Year? Lucky to last a minute I reckon

 

[Pazza]

There’s a lot of sub-reddits!

 

[lucablight]

Parker was spot on, they are flat track bullies. When we have all the ball and the other pack doesn’t aim up they are fine. As soon as someone pushes back they piss themselves. Especially when it matters.

When we have all the ball we spend 20 minutes and 50 tackles in the opposition red zone scoring one try before the other team gets the ball and scores one right away.

 

[the phantom menace]

Give Mose's the captaincy and the side along with a new coach and staff.

I'd love to see Mitch and a new coach fronting the pressers next season... I don't think I can stand another year of BA and Gutherson doing same. Time for the generational change.

Any about seamen playing trombones...?

 

[Avenger]

Yet sanders was one of our best, says a lot!!!

He missed 7 tackles. He was terrible in defence and is a pencil. He isn't ready.

 

[Pazza]

has anyone ever seen a lazier defender than the 2024 Shaun Lane?

 

[King-Gutho94]

They are idiots! Yeah plenty to discuss about our performance but we were up 4 tries to 3 at the moment Sivo decided to be an idiot!!

what about the discussion manly are flat track bullies could only break away with 12 on the field for the second time in the second half….Fox talk so much shit!!

Manly were in 3rd gear tonight.

Did what a half decent side does and get the job done.

Something we couldn't do against a average tigers and a busted dolphins.

Just watched the Penisini sin bin again , Trobjevic was in front of the kicker and was offside. The ref, 2 touch judges and the video ref didn’t bother to look at that. Typical of the second half standard officiating.

 

[emjaycee]

Sivo is dumb and Harper offers nothing but our problem are our middles and leaders. Weak as f**k when the going gets tough in defence.

Yeah, but isnt that what the troll has been saying for weeks now?

@hindy111 whats Mik’s reddit name again?

 

[Noise]

Yeah, but isnt that what the troll has been saying for weeks now?

I don’t know what / who you are talking about? Whose trolling?
These guys should never have been given long term extensions. BA should have let them go.

Still not enough time

But if we - and more to the point BA in the presser - are relying on those type of nit-picky things to give us excuses for the shit we dealt up in the second half across the board, then the coaching staff are in denial and our club is in more trouble than any of us already think.

Chieka and Moses for mine is the move the club needs to make.

The Bradley Arthur days should be over.
