Rnd 16: Eels v Sea Eagles (Arthur Family Cup) GAME DAY THREAD

[Poupou Escobar]

Oh yeah all that elite training he’s had since he was 9, and he’s still as slow as a turd. It must count for something

Well his dad isn't the coach and he still has an NRL contract. Maybe his speed isn't such a problem after all?

 

[Gary Gutful]

Apparently he would finish second to Gutho was Gutho running backwards ?

He just beat Hayne once. We now know that Hayne took a detour via a taxi.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I would have thought JA being parachuted into first grade in another team would have given people perspective.

Yeah but he was shit ffs!!! Unlike all the senior players in his team who went awesome yesterday.

U rubbished asi’s game on Saturday. Ja had less runs, less meters per run, 3 times the amount of missed tackles and an average kicking game.

u really need to stop talking him up.

 

[Gronk]

We didn't play apparently.

Typical.

Under the radar i like it.

No surprise that a Roosters and Storm player is there, the deck would have been full if the Dogs had won, got to look after Gus if you are in the media.

Brave Roosters i heard the word Brave mentioned 3 times in the media yesterday.

No I just said he wasn't as great as merkins were claiming. He did it easy with all the ball behind a dominant pack.

Behind a beaten pack and with less than 40% possession he wasn't much worse than Schuster (who is has more than a TA per game this year). It shows the importance of winning the middle.

0/2 at manly in grade. He’s tracking your trajectory

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Not a very big sample is it? His career record as a starter is 4 from 13. Not bad for a 20 year old backup. Townsend's record by the same age was 4 from 11. Adam Reynolds hadn't even played NRL by this age. Cronk had only ever come off the bench. You're writing him off far too soon.

Lol. He’ll never be a regular starter anywhere.

please stop comparing him to Cronk, Reynolds and even Townsend.

Brave Roosters i heard the word Brave mentioned 3 times in the media yesterday.

We have started a trend.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Maybe not, but every team needs backups.

They were all 20 once as well.

There's no way Triple M, Fox Sports, or Daily Telegraph ever look after Gus. Fox Sports and the DT bag him every chance they get.

The reasons that we have what appears to be an over abundance of negative compared to positive media coverage is that we have zero personalities involved with the entire organisation, except for Gutho and Moses... (and maybe 3 other 'minor' personalities in the playing ranks).

Negative media coverage is essentially what you'd classify as 'news worthy' matters. As they say, no news is good news!

You'll only ever get positive media coverage when you have personalities involved, and this is not just sport, this is every aspect of life. Positive 'news worthy' stories are all about the individual public relations focus.

Let's be honest, the coach, head of football, CEO, the board, and at least 25 of our 30 NRL players are just plain f**king boring uninteresting people compared to some other clubs.

The only difference between those 4 players is ja had elite training from 10 years of age. And is still shit and runs like a giraffe.

Gutho and Moses are the 2 biggest whingers in the game if you ask all the other 16 clubs & fans.
