Rumours and Stuff

[hineyrulz]

All we know is he wasn't injured. Add that to knowing about his tendency to go off the rails and his unimpressive trial form. There's more than enough reason to think Cartwright hasn't earnt his call up.

 

[hineyrulz]

It's very rare that he removes a top 17 player for someone outside the 17. I'm not going to start accusing him of team list shenanigans when it's out of character. This is a coach that is known for being transparent and sticking to his guns.

That’s true, but once his son has become involved in the squad and team all bets seem to be off.

I think I can count 3-4 hypothesis you've dribbled since the game, which have one by one proven incorrect. This is just another Poo hypothesis that you expect everyone to accept as fact. In reality you've got no idea, the same as most of us here.

Lets hope MM doesn't have a cork after getting kneed in the back of the leg when he scored a try. Are our players open game by all teams who get a free pass for kneeing our players when scoring? I know Politis wouldn't stand for it! If JA selected at half we're no hope against Storm and our defence better fix itself FAST if we're going to be competitive. Thought it was fixed last game last year but nothing much changed so far, more soft defence out wide and marshmellow thru centre.

You know even if disregarding this game against the Sharks, BA is a pussy coach who doesn't protect his players. I don't know if you can become elite until you protect your players in the media and internally through to NRL.

Would Bellamy, Robinson or Bennett accept this?

He’s gutless, always has been. How many times have we been rorted while he has been coach and he’s just sat there with that dopey vacant look on his face??

Last week
his player gets a punctured lung and the coward dribbled some shit I didn’t have a real good look at it. Heaven forbid he ever says something in a presser they may just cop him a fine.

None of them have been proven incorrect.

That’s not how it works. The onus is on you to demonstrate your claim. If I tell you there’s a tea pot orbiting the sun right now but it’s too small to see you don’t just believe it until it’s been proven incorrect.

Lol, sensible.

Yeah FFS Pou you need to prove your hypothesis that Jrthur wasn’t selected out of nepotism

Only early but a defining game in some ways. After defeating The Storm twice last year they will be hell bent on reversing that. By the same token if our Eels arent primed for this massive game, I'm not sure what it will take. Maybe we have trained for a build up as opposed to going flat out from game 1. That said it appears The Pennys dont need to build into a season. The familiarity of "the way we like to play" comments signal a return to fatigue sapping style. I wonder if our boys are showing some frustration and boredom with "how we like to play"? Time will tell. It appears if the opposition middle matches our boys then our winning ability decreases dramatically given the continuation of our edge defensive issues. A huge game for BA and the boys this weekend. Cant wait.

What about the one about Cartwright getting an injury in the warm up? Only to be corrected that the change was announced an hour or so before kick off.

Keep throwing them darts mate. You'll hit the bullseye soon.

And the Covid related one.

You haven’t proven he shouldn’t.

 

[eels_fan]

Hodgson having surgery and won’t play again this year…

surely he retires and we bring him on in a trainer/coaching capacity

Josh Hodgson to have surgery and miss remainder of 2022 season

Canberra Raiders hooker Josh Hodgson will have surgery on his knee this week, which will rule him out for the remainder of the 2022 season.

Lol Plogdson could turn out to be our worst signing ever, fancy losing Mahoney for him. Only at Parra.

 

[Noise]

Hodgson another great signing.

Ok so prove Arthur only selected his son due to nepotism. I'll wait.

Exactly

What causes fatigue is having to defend more than the opposition. Controlling the ball is all about reducing fatigue.
