Rnd 10 vs Bulldogs: Live Game-Day Thread!!

[Poupou Escobar]

Me and mates always say BA is a great assistant coach. Not too many think he is made for the big time. And we based this last year and 2014.

2014 win against either knights or raiders and top 8. FLOGGED IN BOTH

2017 with top 4 spot on line juddt need to win. Home game against knights. FLOGGED.

Ok we still made top 4 but thast never happens to a Brisbane, Storm or Roosters side if sitting in 4th.

We flogged Brisbane twice last year in the last half dozen games. The Roosters got smashed at Lottoland in round 22.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Don't you think he would complement Moses more? He would be a running 6 like when Buettner was our 6 and Taylor our 7 in 2001.

You need two halves who can kick these days.

 

[Avenger]

That's bullshit. How come the raiders can do it.

 

[Bazal]

Can do what? Finish tenth?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

They can't. They are shit. In 2016 when they were good they had Hodgson as a kicking option.

Fixed your comment:

You need 2 halves who can kick consistently well these days.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Obviously anyone can kick.

 

[lucablight]

For how often we score in the red zone I call bullshit on ‘the chance to try and go ahead by 8’. Teams are still deliberately conceding penalties against us.

The team should fix their attack so they can score tries and not have to resort to taking penalty goals. I would say you had a point if the team lacked the weapons to do so but there’s no reason to go down that path.

 

[El Diablo]

Wazn Arthur.

Arthur couldn't win a barrier trial in Wyong let alone two cups

 

[strider]

Daniel Anderson.

Well just like you claim BA can thank Semi for his coaching career, Anderson can thank Hayne ..... infact its probably more the case

 

[strider]

Whi else got us into a GF since Smithy?

Jarryd Hayne

 

[Twizzle]

We didn't put them away, the game should never have got down to whether Guth gets a foot to the ball or not, but thats footy

bring on next week

I don’t know how much Hayne helped Anderson get to the grand final with the Warriors

We are talking about Eels best coach since brian smith .... f**k elsewhere

im fully prepared to say BA is struggling and has plenty of responsibility in our shit position, but dont post f**kimg horse shit for the sake of making your point

 

[parra-matters]

I thought you were talking about his ‘coaching career’. That’s what you said in your post.

I wouldnt waste my chicko roll on those merkins

 

[strider]

Maybe i left out "eels career" ... the topic is who has been our best coach since smith

Ricky stuarts career is probably better than any of em, but im f**ked if i am calling that shit stain our best coach

 

[hindy111]

You didn't answer the question.

He was good tonight. I didn't say he wasn't. He was our second best middle forward. He's a decent back up with a few glaring flaws. Also his defence isn't a patch on Alvaro and not even as good as Brown

But if you needed to let him go to be able to restructure and sign someone like I mentioned, would you?

Terepo and Alvaro would be great value bang for buck.

Mannah would at an assumption be in double

Offers no more. Not worse but not better.

 

[hindy111]

The difference is I think our form can turn around if we get some injured players back. Maybe develop some combinations. The chopping and changing is killing us but you can't help injuries. The only top 17 players unavailable for the Dogs today were Lichaa and Tolman. We were missing:

Hayne
Auva'a
Mannah
Pritchard
Alvaro
Evans
Williams

Lichaa was dropped so available.

Alvaro missed last 20mins.
Who do you drop for Auvau?
Who do you drop for Hayne?

Lets say umm Jennings and Bevan. Unsure how much more Auvau and Hayne give.

Same goes for Evans etc....

BROWN yes makes a huge difference but the others may only be slight improve,ent on who is there.

BA needs to blood juniors and plan for 2019. Moron if doesnt.
