Round 20 vs Eels

[merahputih]

One on lifes great mysteries...

The other one is: How can things possibly be any better for the next two years?

112 days since we last played at Jubilee. 3 wins and 10 losses in that time. how are the fans able to build momentum with such a big lag? plus Gong fans also had 3 games in a row at terrible times in the middle of winter - not good for both sets of fans to get going to games

A bit late now.

How funny, when they talk themselves up they usually get smashed. When they keep quiet they win. I have never seen them come out firing when they say they are ready to belt a team. I still get shivers after poor Nighty's last game at Kogarah where they were out to win it for their mate to celebrate his last game. We all saw how well that went.

Defiantly tipping Eels now.....

Aitken Lafai and Latimore......you are kidding.....the imposter thats in charge in all seriousness should never be allowed anywhere near any NRL teams again....the bloke is a deadset loser in the highest degree...how he ever got put in charge of this once proud and mighty club is totally beyond comprehension....and to think we have to endure this selection shit for another 2 years is a bloody disgrace....at least with Latimore going we now only have to put up with the selection every week of the worst 2 centres in the game.....its only that I enjoy the camaraderie on here otherwise I would close the book on Rugby League till 2022

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Let me get this straight.
We drop Josh Kerr, a 23 year old up and coming prop, selected for the indigenous all stars this year for Jeremy Latimore who has retired and offers absolutely nothing other than plod?

yes that's right Crush...straight out of the Imposter School of Coaching....and that's why the fringe players will not develop and hone their 1st Grade skills while this person is in charge.....yes we can appreciate its Latimores final few games but there's no room for sentiment and that's why we are 14th on the ladder

There was no sentiment shown to Nightingale when he retired and he achieved a lot more than Latimore.

Thanks for bringing that up again, I'll prob have nightmares again now.

Wouldn't have made any difference if hunt played, was poor v souths .
Needs to run more.

I thought he did run more. He had a bad night but on another night he might have scored that try and Frizell might have caught that pass from Benny as he should have.

What was worse that evening was the fact that it was Lance Thompson's memorial as well.
We were playing at home against one of the bottom teams.
So disappointed and gutted that night which erased any semblance of support or empathy I had for McGregor.
He is the only coach that has had one of his teams booed off at half time TWICE.
He will only be remembered for the shocking performances that he was part of when he's gone.

I’ll take a close loss. I have finally, and sadly come to realise that any victory with Mary in charge will ultimately be a loss for our club.

 

[Qapm]

Won't die wondering? I'm late to the party and stopped wondering about 5 rounds ago.

I highly respect the players but if you're still wondering after the light finally came on for Qapm then it's time to reflect on the bad choices that led you to this point in life.

It's all about trying to squeeze that rapidly drying sponge for a dead season for one or two more ticket sales, one or two more views. I'm still wondering why I didn't realize this fraud a lot earlier in the season.

Agreed that Kerr’s dropping is the wrong move. But Dufty played a full game in reserve grade and again dosplayed the same issues that are stopping him from being a first grafe fullback.

He’s a wasted spot on the bench anyway. So if he’s not fullback (and shouldn’t be in my opinion) he doesn’t make the squad.

So, why then was Dufty extended for another year this season? Surely we need to buy a better first grade fullback to replace him.

Apparently the eels haven’t won at kogarah since 09. Looks like another record for Teflon L plate to break coming up.

This is a double post from the Sack Mary thread but if there's any Dragon fans still planning to go to the games, how about a "The Eternal M" sign instead of "Straight Outta Kogarah"?



I listed a few of the greatest hits from this album over at the Sack Mary thread but here's a couple more for those willing to front up for the Eels' game. Hits from early Eazy M albums and later NWA (No Wins Allowed).

Just Don't Win It - from the 1991 Steelaz4Life album
Panic Zone (6w 12l) - N.W.A and the Posse album 1987
I'd Rather Watch the Bulldogs - Steelaz4Life 1991
A Loss Iz a Loss - Straight Outta Kogarah 1988

And the rerelease that is the #1 hit for 2019:

I Ain't tha 1 - Straight Outta Kogarah 1988

I've gone beyond making light of the situation. Every day that goes by feels like one closer to losing life's greatest passion. Would rather we fold right now than be tortured by the club like we have the last 3 or 4 years.
