Rd8: 8pm EELS v Broncos GAME DAY THREAD @ TIO Stadium - Darwin 21/4/23

[hindy111]

Brisbane hit Cruise control in the 2nd half. We never where in the game. Score flattered us. Struggled to create anything.

We need 2 x more backs and another prop. Simmons and Russel are solid back ups.

 

[Bandwagon]

We got f**kin' ripped there, Haas - bin, forward pass my f**king arse.

 

[Delboy]

Not sure if it is coincidental, but one of the female refs was in the bunker tonight, and how the heck did Hass stay on the field.it was the worst of the 3 hip drops, not even sure Hopgood was actually one. The golden boy coupled with sending the Donkeys down to 11 should not play a part in any decision.

Hope something is made about that in the presser

We really need to get rid of ba.

The players are signed . We need new ideas. We need to freshen things up.

 

[Eelogical]

Why don’t we catch drop outs? Who coaches these idiots?

Edward Scissorhands.

 

[JokerEel]

Hopgood
Hands
Greig

Played ok for bench players Hands has a bad pass from dummy half but took some good runs and backed up offloads..

I would even take Des Hasler for 5 years....

 

[Eel2reel]

I had what? 10 years of B Smith? Now I'll have 12/13 with this complete nitwit. That's about half my life with coaches who had absolutely no magic, no spirit, no genius, no freaking clue. Coaches who make Michael Hagan look like a leader of men. Why why why do I do this to myself...

Yeah nah, we beat them through the middle, and pretty much dominated the second half.

Some dumb passes and dud calls kept them in the game.

LOL as if our coach will say boo, he's f**king gutless. Wouldn't want to risk 10k thats a trip to Bali for the bogan.

 

[Incorrect]

Lane and Cartwright not communicating...

Lane's fault. Never pass to a player unless they're in a better position than you are.... Also, passing with your back to the defence is always fraught ... He broke 2 cardinal sins there...

Hopgood
Hands

Hands had to be more alert. Everyone knows hopgood will try an offload as well as other players.

Sometimes i think bas power play game plan just kills the players instinct.

Hopgoods was not a hip drop, Manns was 50/50, Hass' was the worst of the lot, all I can say there is WTF.

Brian Smith is Jack Gibson while Bea Arthur is Paul Langmack by comparison.


Smith had his faults but Arthur is a deadset potato by comparison.

 

[the phantom menace]

Well, Broncos are top of the table for a reason, and we're 12th-15th on the table for many reasons....

 

[DaveMc]

Didn’t concede a try with Hodgson off the field

 

[Incorrect]

It'd take him 3 with the nucleus we've got

 

[The Predictor]

So why is Hopgood in the bin for that tackle?

If it's an interpretation of a hip drop, it looked nothing like one to me... he had an arm around a shoulder and the other around a waist?

Are u all idiots????you know who the referee is…..I know we are f**ked every time he refs, we just add our touch to the shit sandwich we toss up every week!!!

Maybe once Moses contract is confirmed, the hunt for a future (new) coach can properly begin.

If I was Brown (and maybe Moses depending how he's structured his deal), I would have made a change of coach a key aspect of the next player option. The coaching is so one dimensional, and these players simply won't grow to potential without something changing.
