Rnd 18 Eels v Knights Game Day Thread.

[Eelementary]

We truly are the laughing stock of the nrl. No matter which coach comes in, it’ll be new excuses and a matter of time before more change is required.

Tbh, I'm as irritated and gutted as a lot of you, but our biggest issue, imo, is that we lack a competent 7.

Mitchell Moses is...he's awful.

He occasionally comes up with a good play, but he's awful.

 

[The EELiminator]

We have 6 offloads to the knights 3

and half of them were probably knocked on

 

[Gronk]

IF the coach can’t motivate the players, it’s easier to punt a coach then do a projector styled cull.

You were blaming the Administrators appointed to keep Fitzy Spags out. How many balls did they drop tonight, how many forward passed or missed tackles. We could have won this easy tonight and the result had nothing to do with Max.

 

[T-Boon]

I actually rate Norman, and would love to keep him.

We must be watching different players at this point. He has nothing.

We got dis.

 

[Noise]

For all the brilliance Hayne still posses, not sure he’d have the fitness to make a fist of it.

Problem is Gutho provides nothing at fullback. I actually think the responsibility of him being captain and the huge job at fullback is too much for him...hence all the errors. He doesn't even offer a threat running the ball.

Compared to Mitchell Moses, he is Andrew Johns.

 

[rugby league fan]

Gutho to centres and Hayne to fullback. Is there a more obvious decision to be made??

It HAS to happen. The Gutho fullback experiment is well and truly over.

Agree to a point. But Gutha aint no center either. Nor a winger or 5/8.
Just F@#k him off completely.

 

[forward pass]

Don't be dramatic. We need to see the back of Max and get a backroom with a winning mentality. I am pretty sure Max does not give the slightest damn how we play football.

FMD. We are blaming Max now? That will do me.

Give Max a footy and I reckon even he would know how to throw a pass backwards.

 

[Gronk]

You know they've all made side deals and are staked to the hilt, right?

Yeah nah.

We just purchased him. Well BA did...

 

[El Diablo]

Get a coach with a clue.

and some hair

Culture starts at the top.

 

[rugby league fan]

Agreed.

Agree also.
If we did pick up a really good half id love to see Norman at full back

 

[Happy MEel]

This is how I’d be shaping up for next year, with quite a few replacements to come:

1. Hayne
2. Gennings
3. Mennings
4. Gutho
5. Ferguson
6. Norman
7. Moses
8. Paulo
9. (Need to recruit)
10. Alvaro
11. Mau
12. (Need to recruit)
13. Brown

14. Kaysa or Mahoney
15. Mannah
16. (Need to recruit)
17. Gower

Coach. (Need to recruit)

I’d be telling French, Tep, Smith and Taka that they’re free to find opportunities elsewhere and going hard for Tapau, Korosau or Seggy and another strong edge forward. Marata would be a back up for either edge.

 

[Happy MEel]

Well sticking a lazy outside back in there won't fix it.

Sticking Hayne in there absolutely fixes it and makes them instant favourites as far as I’m concerned.

 

[Gronk]

We got dis.

Building mate.

 

[IFR33K]

Building mate.

Forever building

It HAS to happen. The Gutho fullback experiment is well and truly over.

Mate, loyalty and training ethic is far more important than winning games

 

[IFR33K]

f**k I hope kaysa is fit next week
