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

[the phantom menace]

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

Only after half the forum said the same thing all last year, while he tried to defend Hodgson...

 

[Avenger]

Don't enable him mate. It's sickening and transparent. You're better than that.

 

[the phantom menace]

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

The Bradley Arthur days should be over.

I'd love that anytime after the Origin weeks this season onwards, tbh...

 

[King-Gutho94]

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.

Just more deflection.

BA has given it his best shot.

But time to accept change and move on.

 

[emjaycee]

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.

Pou has been saying for weeks that our inside forwards and our leadership is the issue and has been getting slammed by everyone as being a troll. Yet, you just said the same thing is the issue.

And that’s the difference between us and the panfers, they didn’t give a shit and got rid of gun players, and we lapped them up and hanging on to them for dear life…Parra in a nutshell!!!

 

[Joshuatheeel]

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.

So basically the same as the Manly pack……when we had all the ball they shit themselves and were behind 3 tries to 1…

Yeah fair enough discus how we lost that game…but don’t claim we are track bullies when the opposition is exactly the same…

of course manly looked good in 40 mins against 12 for 20 mins and a 8 to nil penalty count!

answer this …

why did manly look shit in the first half?

at what point did manly run away with it?

 

[King-Gutho94]

So what did everyone think of Nrown tonight.

A bloke that bled for the club that BA froze out.

He made more of an impact then a 650k cat we have in the back-row has done in 18 months.

 

[JokerEel]

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

I am not sure about terrible in defense he tackled well watching him closely.. Better than the 2 outside him btw and Guy inside

 

[Avenger]

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.

The whole Badger family should not be allowed to blow any whistle or sit anywhere near the bunker. He is an epic f**kwit and his other half is just an annoying attention seeker but it is not the reason we lost.

We could not keep up with the tempo of the game and imploded.

Not enabling him mate, just noticing the hypocrisy at times.

Manly are shit if anyone watches their games this season they will agree they are not a top 4 side at all..

Refs were sutton and klown

Yep...I saw it during the first game against the dogs and found it concerning. With majority possession we looked good, but the moment the possession evened up near the end, they were running all over us.

I don't know what happened during this preseason, but they have forgotten how to play.

 

[blue bags]

The toxicity and the fact that moderators have too much power in being able to get a persons account permanently banned for some obscure reason is why I left reddit.

Tbh I had a LOT more fun on here tonight even though the eels lost because I was just totally surrounded by other eels fans. So thanks all on here for a fun time. This place has made a fantastic first impression

Can you Play 2nd row. Or winger?
BA needs you

 

[The Predictor]

Mate ur being ridiculous, his first fkn game, what about the other “seasoned professional s”. ? U keep going on about Sanders, very odd

 

[Cumberland Eel]

I reckon most of those missed tackles were in the last 10 mins with Sivo gooone

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Mate their middles ran for twice as many meters as ours. If we take our blue and gold glasses off, they have a point. Not saying that idiot Sivo didn’t have a massive negative impact on the result, but RCG said he would die for Brad and ran for 60 odd metres

So why did manly look shit in the first half?

 

[the phantom menace]

At the 50sec mark of the presser, when a question is asked about Sivo's flash point sin bin and Gutho just shakes his head... .

BA: "It's dumb, isn't it"

When you have Lane Harper Sivo outside or sometimes inside your area on a hiding to nothing..
