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

[hineyrulz]

They were excellent and we weren't prepared for it. Just like we weren't prepared for the Tigers to be so adequate. The Roosters expected an easy game and got their pants pulled down today as well. It happens.

Who gives a f**k about the Roosters, always deflecting Balme from our incompetent coach and team. This game doesn’t matter either just like the Tigers game. It’s amazing how stupid you get when the team plays like shit and looooooses. Time for another break from the forum you are going full reatread.

They didn't stick to the game plan. Last week we scored 39 points despite our halves only throwing 67 passes between them. This week they threw 87 passes and we scored 4 points. We attacked very differently this week. How could you not see that? Too busy making smartarse comments I expect.

It's seriously time you took a break from the forum.
You are just embarrassing yourself now.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Wow a 6 that runs scores a try

Easy against our defence tonight

 

[Poupou Escobar]

out coached and out motivated

Arthur's is two from three against Payten.

Can you blame them?? This is all on his imbecile father, he shouldn’t be there. Everyone knows it bar Bea Arthur. It’s anger and frustration, most fans thought we were a chance this year and this is what they offer up added by the fact he son has been shoehorned into the 17 and Dylan Brown has been moved after finally showing what he is capable of in the 6 position. He’s apparently a top 17 player so he’s eligible for criticism just like anyone else in the the side.

Criticism yes but anything below the belt and personal insults is unacceptable.
I don't want him in 1st grade either and he wasn't good at all tonight. He had also 10+ mates tonight who could be arrested for impersonating 1st grade rugby league players when they land in Sydney in a few hours

 

[hineyrulz]

There’s a big difference between criticism and the vitriol being thrown his way by absolute f**kwits

Telling him to end himself and hope he tears his ACL is f**ked. I never want to see Jake in first grade again but wishing him harm is wrong. But this is what happen’s when you throw your son into the side when he doesn’t deserve it or his talent warrants it. People are sick of following a club that lets them down time after time.

After the game, I asked one of our legends what he thought the problem was and his answer was "we have a half back who doesn't run enough". He wasnt talking about JA.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Cowboys have had 34% in our half and we have spent 66% in their half. It reminds me of soccer how these smart sides can have 35% possession but win 4-0 with counter attack and smrt tactics......

Yep there's no point having all the ball if you're just going to shift it without forcing the defence to compress.

I wonder which round it is where losses start mattering?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

When you take a home game to the tropics, and play a team from the tropics, then you simply get what you deserve.

There's certainly a lot more to that loss than that, but it is still a dumb as dogshit decision.

We were never in the contest and never even remotely looked likely.

Everything about our game was utter garbage.

The worse thing is we'll learn nothing from the loss, and we unfortunately have plenty to learn.

The entire exercise was just a waste of time from start to finish.

The commentators on Kayo were saying we should just forget the game and move on. We weren't up for it, so it's hard to judge. They could be wrong of course. We'll be up for it next week but just have too many edge defenders unavailable.

Arthur's is two from three against Payten.

Seriously STFU.

Finals don’t matter either apparently lol.

Well that settles it. Let’s drop Moses to NSW Cup and leave JA in the halves. The legend has spoken

 

[Avenger]

It’s a shithole to visit and a shithole to play at

I agree. I’m never coming back.

 

[Happy MEel]

Finals don’t matter either apparently lol.

As long as they all had fun.

What else did Avenger have to say?? How was Seasfood on Cullens.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He’s not on his pat malone but nice little missed tackle from Jakey boy leading to the offload for the LBA.

His second of the game but who's counting? Did you notice anyone else's missed tackles or only watching one player? We missed another 34 besides those two.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Don't you realise it's Bea we are complaining about

I've seen a player singled out. The coach has improved our attack massively this year but our defence has suffered. But that's what happens when you get injuries out wide.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Just really f**king poor all round that.

Are you suggesting it would be poor form to single anyone out?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Actually imagine his squad with a good coach. It’s enough to make you cry. Bring back Brian Smith - he’d make these guys work, and wouldn’t be conflicted.

He was a genius but how many of these merkins wouldn't want to play for him? He's got the record for blokes who chose to sit out rather than play in his team. No doubt he would've pissed someone off.
