Rumours and Stuff

[IFR33K]

You were the one who threw your toys out of the cot in the previous discussion and played the man instead of the ball.

I can tell you how that looked but only you can explain why you gave up on the discussion. Maybe you felt like @Joshuatheeel was talking shit? It came across as if you had nothing of substance to offer in return. Apologies if I appear rude in making that observation.

My bad nut hugger

Not at all but constant pessimism isn’t constructive, it’s just boring. I am absolutely gutted at our performances but I try to at least bring some positivity just like the other spoon loving nuthuggers

Who are you to tell me who to follow anyway??? I've been supporting this club for over 35 years. If you want to say everything is rainbows and lollipops good for you doesn't mean other people have too.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

So you didn’t watch or attack this season??? Boring outdated block plays with rubbish shapes. I was at the Bronco game and our shapes in attack were u12’s stuff. You can tell the players had no confidence in what they were doing but they did it anyway because it’s what they are coached to do. So glad our attack coach has gotte. An extension so Well earnt.

Ok, how could you tell they had no confidence in what they were doing?

 

[hineyrulz]

Yep, it’s even more clearer. BA has no preference on which one is offloaded, he’s just hoping a club will take either at near maximum wage. A wage that rival clubs at baulking at. Sounds like the plan is falling into place nicely

Yep, further proof as you say he is throwing darts at a dart board and hoping one hits a bullseye.

The way they were playing, body language, no confidence in anything they were doing. We had enough ball to win 20 games that night and all we could cobble together was a try off an intercept. It was appalling to watch first hand.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Ok, let me respond again. Why are my arguments feeble? Because they don’t suit your agenda or you don’t agree with me? I clearly stated in a previous post that BA was looking outside of our squad (Austin and Newcastle plodder) if he moves one or two halves on. After many stated he’s looking at promoting within (brown and salmon).

And I clearly stated why that may not be the case and you responded with:

You’re challenging gronk for the captaincy. Maybe we should have a nut huggers challenge.

So obviously my argument wasnt suiting your agenda....

I agree our attack has been terrible this year and that game was especially poor!!

However you don’t make more metres, miss less tackles (while making more tackles) in that game if you have no confidence in what you are doing!

But yes our attack was shit

Sorry mate. All this nuthugging is making you light headed. I think to need to take a break

Judging by that comment, I think you may be the one that needs a rest......

 

[hindy111]

Agreed. They aren’t ‘light years’ away.

Good afternoon Gary. 1hr behind

??? Our attack was terrible but the team was confident in what they were doing??? Our forwards aimed up big time that game but the players had no confidence in our attacking structures as soon as we got on the 20m zone. Running harder than the other team has nothing to do with confidence.

Fair enough.

It’s just when you said:

It sort of implied they werent trying or having a go!

Reality is most teams we faced this year where at full strength and also had them at bad timing.
Like the Sharks who lost there first 2 games. The storm and rooster trying to win the minor premiership. JT last home game.
Combine with bad luck against the Dogs,Warriors,Knights, and Brisbane. And blown games against Panthers,Saints and Souths.
Throw in all the injuries.

Our season died in the 4 consecutive games against Sharks,Dogs,Brisbane,Warriors.
Could of won all 4. We had no Hayne or Brown for all those close games and Mannah and Kaysa missing for 3 of them.

Winning breeds confidence. So much effort was put into those games. What followed was a lacklustre effort to knights. And that was the end of the season.

I am no one and u can follow who you like, at least make it appear that u actually like your club of choice..

 

[hineyrulz]

I am no one ..

Something we can agree on.

you nuthuggers are worse than Scientologists

 

[Eelogical]

What's further than Light years???

Eels premiership years.

 

[Happy MEel]

I agree, and our block play wasn’t good this year. It was terrible!!

BA definitely needs to fix up our attacking structure.

Regarding halves / hooker running more, this has a lot to do with not having a real “big body) in the middle or threats on the edge, to give them room to run. Paulo will help with this in the middle (Evans was very underwhelming this year, hopefully he can improve). While on the Moeroa is improving while Manu started the year slowly, Taka didn’t perform, t-rex was injured and Lane will hopefully provide another option on the edge.

Also I reckon Hayne and Gutho’s injuries didn’t help our attack hopefully they are injury free next year.

Interestingly Mahoney (4 runs for 32 m) is already averaging more run metres then Seggy (3 runs for 32 m). Yeah seggy is making more per run but you also need to factor in seggy is more experienced and playing behind a better pack.

Reed averaged more minutes per game but I take your point.
