Rumours and Stuff

[Happy MEel]

Do you guys reckon BA ever slips into this site late at night over a beer and has a bit of a giggle to himself of how far off the mark some peoples ideas are?

Or cries himself to sleep about how accurate we are. It will be one or the other.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I don’t think anyone would complain if it was suggested he may not be 100% fit. It is the assertion beyond any doubt that it is in fact the case, that people are raising. It is entirely possible that he isn’t fit or alternatively that he has just been playing like a busted ass for no other reason than form.

The beyond doubt assertion is also coming from those who are suggesting he was a 100% fit.

The argument starts out as a suggestion and then when people climb into you for making such a suggestion it ends up being something you passionately defend to the point where it becomes a much stronger assertion.

Pau you dumbass, tell us how our forward roster is far better than we had in 2017.

Tell us all why our aging forward roster with the likes of Gower, Scott, Vave, Matagi, Mannah and Mau are all better with another year under their belts.
Tell us all how one of the average oldest forward rosters in the NRL is better, when we all know a player hits peak performance at around 26 - 27.

You're a dead set dribbler and wrong.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

That's a load of absolute bs and you know it.

Most teams are carrying injuries at this stage. Cronulla were without half a dozen.

Yes we've missed Semi, but why is it that a club must rely on one player to match the opposition?
Our pack gets completely dominated in most games. We cant handle bigger forwards coming through us dominating the ruck - and our Pack isn't better than '17 like you keep banging on about

How is our pack better with a below average player like Evans you clown

Who have we lost from our 2017 pack to make them worse? We lost Fritchard and added Evans and Williams.

So he blames Semi for everything - what a dead set dope.

Who’s blaming Radradra? He’s no longer even at the club. But the bloke we signed to replace him has been laid low with injury.

If that’s the case then they have no idea as well. None of us know so it’s stupid to take a position of certainty either way. With Pou though it definitely didn’t start out as a suggestion.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Seriously merkin? You really were away from this forum for a while. French was dropped pure and simple. He even said as much in an interview. It has been discussed adnausem and I think everyone came to the same conclusion in the end that he was indeed dropped.

What’s the next angle?

Well he was obviously dropped - he was out of the team for a week. My point is he didn’t play for Wenty because fitness wasn’t a problem, his injured shoulder was. That is best treated with rest, not playing reserve grade.

 

[hineyrulz]

There is no proof he wasn't either. How do you know he was 100% fit, merkin. How?

What are you basing your assessment on? Text messages from your mates during the game while you were on the mangoes?

His fitness was never questioned until Pou after his month holiday decided to dribble it, why didn't we hear anything before the season starting or at the time in round 1 or 2??? Now because Pou said it it's stated as fact on here.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

More speculation from Pou, spoken as gospel though.


You don’t have enough information to know if it’s the coaches fault when we are two from 9 but you know that a bloke was injured and not 100% fit but still fit enough to play and then start???

You are just speculating and deflecting and backing up your Bs with baseless plop.

No I’m going off what the player said in interviews. Yes his form has been poor. The reason is his fitness, which he can improve by playing reserve grade. You can find the interviews on the club’s official site. His pre-season was disrupted by injury and his fitness isn’t where it should be.

The rib injury sustained this season was reported in plenty of places.

 

[hineyrulz]

Can I just say that I actually don't give a shit about Evans anymore. I am just gunning for Hiney now.

BRING IT ON YOU F**KEN BIG PILLOW!!!!!

f**k you Gutful you Craft beer quaffing Mincer.

But he did play for Wenty.

GlennEel is really BA.

It was discussed on here a while ago. You might have been on the Mangoes.

 

[hineyrulz]

But he did play for Wenty.

and played 60mins and was MOTM, sounded badly injured.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

No it was just regurgitated plop from Pou, his fitness was never questioned until Pou after his 4 week sabbatical states it as fact as the reasons for Evans poor form.

Instead of just telling us what he did in the game threads we had no quality ball when he was on and it’s hard for an attacking. Forward to show anything when all he was doing was tackling.

It is both. He looked shite in first grade because he got few opportunities to run (heaps of opportunity to tackle) but he played ISP to improve his fitness. Except now he’s not playing at all because letting his ribs heal is more important than building match fitness.

Why is that so f**ken hard to understand?!?

It's always hard when you are involved. No homo.

There are reasons for a drop in form. Fitness and injury would be the biggest. Old age is another.

 

[Bazal]

You could have at least picked someone who didn't look like a bag of shit.

I know my limitations

Only Gower and Scott are over 30 from that lot. Matagi, Mannah and Ma’u all turn 30 this year. A forward is at his peak at 30 in 2018. This isn’t the 70s.

 

[eels_fan]

So with Kaysa out injured again does it open the door for Reed Mahoney to get a chance ?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

But he did play for Wenty.

When?
