Rumours and Stuff

[hineyrulz]

So you expect us to have a blinder in our first game in a new shape in penalty Broncos land? While missing Hayne, Williams, Edwards, Brown and Mannah?

You're the merkin who thinks one game proves anything. We had our biggest win this year with Hayne playing ten minutes on the wing. By your logic we should do that every f**king week you nitwit merkin.

Well you are the expert who hasn’t been wrong since 2012. Lol mad merkin.

Another thing Pou got wrong. You’re on fire this arvo Pou.

He was even wrong about not getting things wrong. FFS!!

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Anyhow Dean Ritchie mentioned on MMM, eels looking at letting Norman go, is not so much about his relationship with BA. It’s just that BA knows changes to the squad are required if he is going to turn the side around.

The best way to turn the side around BA is to leave.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

No but the experts aren't claiming they have never been wrong since 2012 (or whenever Sandow signed with us) like you are.

I'm talking about misunderstanding rugby league, not losing a guessing game. The only people who wouldn't see the difference are the dopes who think us losing proves them right. No wonder they love it when we do.

Who would seriously perform for their boss knowing they’re not wanted?

Someone who was self-motivated.

You said “when have I ever been wrong about ANYTHING”. That includes how you thought we would fair in 2018. Don’t back track now. You were also wrong about Kane Evans. You claimed he was the dynamic runner our side needed. He is not. He isn’t even what Wenty needs. You also claimed we would have paid overs to get him. You then said we got him as a depth player and would have paid accordingly. You can’t have it both ways. You have been wrong about plenty of things rugby league related.

Corey?

You’d need to snap out the handycam for that!

Honestly the acceptance of shit from Eels fans mind boggling.

i suspect most of these types are bald

You said “when have I ever been wrong about ANYTHING”. That includes how you thought we would fair in 2018.

As I said, it's a guessing game. It's neither worth bragging about nor putting shit on others for. The experts backed my assessment, so I'm fine with it.

Don’t back track now. You were also wrong about Kane Evans. You claimed he was the dynamic runner our side needed. He is not. He isn’t even what Wenty needs.

He was and still is. But his injury-riddled pre-season held him back.

You also claimed we would have paid overs to get him.

And I still reckon we did. But we'll never know, will we?

You then said we got him as a depth player and would have paid accordingly.

That just means overs was less than if we'd signed him as a guaranteed top 17 player.

You can’t have it both ways. You have been wrong about plenty of things rugby league related.

Actually I did think we signed Evans as a top 17 player, which I was wrong about. So that and Sandow. Also that we probably signed Hayne as a winger. But these are all minor things. The fact is Evans started the year in the top 17 and Hayne started a game on the wing (in our best performance). So I could've been right about both of those things and the coach changed his mind after the fact. We'll never know.

Good to see that you realize you have been wrong since 2012. Welcome back to reality.

And just for good measure...

We shouldn’t be top four favourites (though we are a chance) but this squad should make the top eight for sure. And I think we will.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well I was right. We shouldn’t be top four favourites. But the squad should definitely make the eight, as agreed by the experts.

And I did think we would, but predictions are obviously a guessing game, as was clear from the quoted post.

Isn’t pretty much everything said on here just guesses and predictions? By that logic none of us are wrong. Thanks Pou, I feel much better about myself now.

Apparently on 360 Hooper said Norman is most likely to remain an Eel in 2019.

Not interested in SL

 

[Incorrect]

They had to bring in Cogger because he has a better kicking game than Watson or Lamb. They weren't going to drop Watson - they're paying the merkin a lot of money.

Nah, teams don't drop bloke's if they're paying them big money.... I mean Kane Evans is just really really really really really, reeeeallly unfit.... That's why he's been running around for Wenty....

Personally, I think this is great news.

I think Norman is a great player.

Or have them facing backwards
