Round 13 Parra v Cowboys - Game Day

[strider]

EELS 28-6
46min

cowboys need 4 converted tries to win

4 converted tries and a field goal will do it for them..

i blame this merkin

I do think that Arthur has to take some responsibility for that loss. His prop rotations were just plain stupid. If Pauli and Alvaro are not ok to put on whilst 24 points up then when will they be? Amateur hour. Just dumb coaching from even dumber players.

Yeah that's it, if you cannot put players on when you're up by 24 with 25 to go when can you put them on.

Too much of that match was just completely unacceptable.

Even in the first half it looked like the cowboys could open us up at anytime. They scored most of there tries on the last which made it worse.

We did the same last week-Let penrith score 3 tries in 11 mins. This week 5 in 12 mins.We need to learn when we do not have momentum how to grind and slowly win it back.

It all started from that SEMI dropped ball.We would of had 7 tackles.At 30-6 you dont think too much of it. But the next time we got the ball it was 36-30

That was a great 68 minutes of football. Thoroughly enjoyable.

LMAO i did get a good laugh out of that.

yes it was a good 68mins .

 

[Poupou Escobar]

why play the poor bastard??? May as well bring back IDG with a broken face.

If a fresh Alvaro isn't as effective as a tired anyone else then why play him? Just because you have to name 17 players doesn't mean you have to use them all if their inclusion doesn't benefit the team.

It's like when we had Billy Rogers on the bench. If you've only got 16 fit first graders you still need to name 17.

 

[Snoochies]

the only saving grace for me is my mates having given up paying me out about parra.

normally i would have had 10 phone calls by now.

There must be a time where they genuinely start to feel sorry for you. That time is now.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The last play of the game typifies the team that Parra is.

I'm afraid that was just simply unacceptable.

That last play was caused by the Cowboys being able to move up quickly and organised after a slow play-the-ball.

 

[Pazza]

Yep. Changing the coach won't change what happened. Mentally weak and have been for a long time.

Im hoping the inclusion of Foran and Scott will help us but who knows.

He may well have got it wrong with the bench but Playing either Pauli or Álvaro for extended minutes was going to open the ruck up even further.

I doubt it could have got much worse than it did. We played a big pack and some of our boys needed a breather.

 

[Mr Pmatta]

What the f**k does this coach say to them at half time, whatever it is stop it u f**ken merkin.....

 

[Casper The Ghost]

I blame Strider for the "mute" request.
From that point onwards our squad became deaf to footy sense.
They fulfilled what Strider dreamt for them.
Thanks Strider.

agree.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

not too late to backflip Foran if you have any sense

I think he would know that if he'd been out there instead of Sandow then Thurston and Hall wouldn't have done it so easy.

Beau Scott would have done a lot better than Moeroa too.

Thanks Strider.

it was actually a "mime" request ... but you read it wrong and caused the biggest capitulation ever ... f**k casper

 

[Bigfella]

Playing players who are weak in the middle of the field would have beenych worse. Pauli is a good attacking player but a woeful defender. Álvaro, yes his selection has been forced on the club by the salary cap f**k ups. He isn't ready for first grade. He wouldn't have helped the result and it may have done more damage. The question was asked why they weren't played. I answered it.

you can f**k off and support the Storm you gutless merkin.

You didn't answer it you gave a bunch of whiny bullshit because you are a gutless merkin who will bend over backwards to make an excuse.

That's why this club goes nowhere.

People like you not only think it's acceptable you are happy with it.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Poor coaching pure and simple, BA has still not worked out how to use the up interchange effectively

Right, but you've worked it our because you've been watching footy for years! :lol:

 

[Snoochies]

Hope Foran went to bed early tonight.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

All comes down to coaching, he voices the team, he picks the conditioning, he picks the tactics, he teaches defender, all falls on him.

He will be out and hopefully so at the end of the year

 

[BlueAndGoldPride]

i agree with ya BlueAndGoldPride but does that still equal 30 odd points in 15mins.

that the thing im having trouble with.

Obviously Arthur's shocking coaching is not the sole reason the players that were out there need to take some of the blame too it was shocking the way they were falling off tackles coach can't help that.
But his use of the interchange I think contributed greatly to our very tired defensive line, you win very few football games playing with 15 men!

 

[Chipmunk]

If a fresh Alvaro isn't as effective as a tired anyone else then why play him? Just because you have to name 17 players doesn't mean you have to use them all if their inclusion doesn't benefit the team.

It's like when we had Billy Rogers on the bench. If you've only got 16 fit first graders you still need to name 17.

Surely playing Seph Paulo is a better option if we aren't going to put Alvaro on until the last minute

f**k you.............. :lol::lol:
