Rd8: Eels v Cowboys GAME DAY THREAD in Darwin 30/4/22

[the phantom menace]

Not disagreeing but who would we have coach?

Is Dean Pay available?

 

[Wally21]

Round 1 he had ja on the bench. It’s all part of the plan to give him game time. He could also be our starting half in 2024

If he is our starting half in 24, I will be in rehab again…

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I get mine made by an Austrian.

Where's the ice cream?

 

[strider]

So Todd Payton is a star coach now?

Towsend and Deardon were laughed at ... they were pretty plop last year ... JT seemed disgruntled... lots of young inexperienced rats tails

3rd now .... Todd rocks

 

[Jake the snake]

Yeah the form five-eighth would've had plenty of room behind a beaten pack against the top defensive side. One tackle break from 14 runs ffs.

BORRRINNGG BRADDDD

Boring Brad would make anyone look like a super coach

Ciraldo or Flanagan...
I know it won't happen but we will continue to get more of the same inconsistency...just not good enough

 

[Poupou Escobar]

And 20min of this shit to go... just as our defence (not the Cowboys defence, as predicted by Poupou Escobar) starts to fade.

Cowboys defence was awesome. Ours has been poor all year.

 

[Soto]

The presser was just as good as the performance

 

[strider]

Maybe we need more ratties

Well we all know that

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Dylan Brown reduced to a hit up man

Yeah because he would've had so much room to move closer to the middle of the field

 

[Eelogical]

Where's the ice cream?

It's on the back of the plate next to the cream. My strudel guy knows his stuff.

That's ok.
Ours was awesome last year.

The rats tails have filled out.

Nope, Townsville is well into the tropics.

Tropical conditions you can't get use to in a few days, it takes months. It is a completely different playing environment.

Townsville is tropical, but Darwin is next level, and it's easier for a team from the tropics to make that transition.

You just can't underestimate how much easier it is for the Cowboys to play in Darwin than us. It's an unfair advantage in many respects.

It's DOGSHIT DUMB to play home games in the tropics against the only team in the comp from the tropics.

Makes no difference who the opposition is tbh, but I will say they could play the Darwin games later like they did in previous years. Every year I promised myself to go to these games but ends up at a poor time.

Mate, I was all in saying the Townsend signing at 800K was ridiculous. But between him and Deardon, they doing ok. Drinkwater looked f**king great tonight.... Reece Robson is a gun.... It's a spine devoid of a coach's son, and they'll probably win a comp before us !!!!

 

[Avenger]

Jake’s lack of speed created the space out wide. He genuinely has none of the assets that make up a first grade half.

The kid just hasn’t got it and anyone suggesting that he there on his own merits is smoking party cones.

He is so slow to react to anything. BA if he continues with this farce will be held to account and sacked.

Nine years as a coach and he is still making fundamental errors. Many in that side should never see first grade again. Perham and Simonsson I would sack immediately.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Come on man. It’s fine to have a different opinion, but this performance has shown that Jake just isn’t a first grade footballer at this point. You’re just being contrarian for the sake of it now.

I've acknowledged he's a backup. If it weren't for the lack of outside backs our first choice 6 would be playing there. Hayze Perham is on the wing ffs. We are out of troops.

I didn't even know there were strudel guys.
