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

[crocodile]

yep, I'll go first

ffs why did we let Sanders go, we are shit and R&R, we should have extended him

He hasn’t exactly set cup on fire.

 

[Gazzamatta]

He IS the coach for the team. I don’t know why people want to conveniently forget BA took the eels to the grand final as coach less than two years ago

Well he didnt take them actually. He made them find their own way there.

Pou and I have been saying this for seasons. Our middles are our biggest strength in attack (traditionally) and the root cause of all our defensive issues

Oh dear... Pou was also one of the ones wanting to keep Hodgson in firsts, when everyone could see his time had passed, so I'm not sure you want to shackle yourself to that train.

Pretty much everyone has been onto Lussick's weakness from round one, a weakness Pou will only admit if/after Lussick's dropped.

So I don't think you two are the only ones that spot our poor defence in "the middle" and the impact it causes.

 

[Eelementary]

Is tonight's loss to Manly scheduled for tonight?


I thought we were losing tomorrow night, for some reason.

Well he did make the shit list. So did Russell and he is now is NSW Cup.

 

[Matty Bhoy]

Get stuck in Parra!

 

[Jake the snake]

Predicting Manly thrashing us 68-8. And BA hopefully gets the sack.

I just think it’s a bit much to be talking about switching coaches when the eels made the grand final less than two years ago. I don’t want the club to go back to the days where the club switched coaches more often than they switch underwear

Brian smith finished at the club in 2006. Then it went:

Jason Taylor (2006)
Michael Hagan (2007-2008)
Daniel Anderson (2009-2010)
Stephen Kearney (2011-2012)
Ricky Stuart (2013)

and now Brad Arthur. Six coaches in almost as many years. Brad Arthur has provided much needed stability to the club including a grand final literally less than two years ago. I don’t think it’s anywhere near panic stations at the moment when the eels are currently only one win outside the top 8 at present

 

[the phantom menace]

11 years, and on a clear downward slide over the last 18 months.

Welcome and strap yourself in for the evening's entertainment on here. It will be interesting to see your contributions going forward.

Just got out of surgery and here for the overnight , high as a kite. Perhaps that’s the only I could try and watch.

I’ve no doubt the drugs will knock me out before kickoff and bunch I think is better for my recovery ha.

My blame would always go where it belongs. With the players

Thank you for the welcome! Finally realized Reddit was too toxic a place for me to be after moderators somehow managed to get my account permanently banned from the site altogether Went looking for an NRL forum instead and was so happy to see that this forum actually has an entire section for the eels so I immediately signed up and just got approved

Sarcasm is definitely hard to tell in text sometimes lol

Welcome to LU. We have the most persistent and consistent troll of any forum
Ill bet he is just champing at the bit to give you an edumacation on rugba league.

It's already half time, mate. We're leading 42-10.

Hope you recover well from the operation!

Some say it's the coach, but what would they know?

What the club needs right now is stability in the coaching ranks.

Was looking for an NRL forum after the toxicity of Reddit and when I saw this one had its own dedicated Parra Eels section it was an immediate sign up

Isn't 11 years stable enough? Maybe you'd be happier with 20.
