Rumours and Stuff

Now do Sam Walker.

Not comparing. Just saying.

Sam Walker has a lot of other strengths that contribute to him being a net positive so the Roosters are willing to wear his poor defence.

Not comparing. Just saying.

Sam walker is a turnstile but he makes up for his garbage defence by being able to attack setting up tries he plays with more flair, he does some goal kicking along with kicking clutch field goals.

I am surprised Jake hasn't added Goal kicking to his reportire he would be more valuable as a backup if he was. A half-back who are also good goal kickers are gold.

Manly now $1.80 favourites. Did I mention I got on them at $2.35?

We're notoriously poor favourites. The more we're the underdog, the better off we will be.

It has been pretty obvious since Potter took over from Barrett that the Dogs attack has completely changed. They were playing a very conservative style under Barrett, trying to grind a victory which was never going to work.

If nothing else I think the Dogs improvement shows that new ideas and a fresh voice can turn things around. There's obviously a question mark on whether it's sustainable long term but for now they look like they're enjoying a bit of freedom and change of tack...

Everyone's attack looks good against the Knights. We scored 39 points against them with Jake Arthur in the halves ffs

Yep i agree have we lost a game this year where we were underdogs.

I reckon only Melbourne and both Penrith games is where we would have gone in as underdogs. Not many others.

Matty Arthur can’t be too far away.

Mate, lives only 7 minutes away, 5 if they run a couple of amber traffic lights.... Very handy....

not good. Maybe there wasn’t cameras around to show they’re supporting.

Good point

Sam Walker doesn't play for the Eels if he did he would be roasted.

We have untill 5pm tomorow. Lets see who we sign. My little birds tell me we land someone and its not Tapau. If the names right then I reckon most will be happy

Unlike the other night we dead set should have put 50 on Newcastle that day.

They offered no resistance in that 2nd half of that game. 39 points we let them off lightly.

It’s 2pm 31/7, so hurry the f**k up.

Eels raise stakes in pursuit of veteran prop

The Eels are willing to make a deal on the prop who's chasing an NRL lifeline.

The journo on ch9 just said that clubs have until 5pm tomorrow.

You didn’t answer the question. What does Occam’s razor tell you?

It tells me I'm right. What does it tell you?

Honestly, do you even understand how to apply Occam's Razor? It doesn't mean your assumptions are likely correct, because people make different assumptions.

I don’t think we should sack the coach this season if that’s what you’re getting at regarding what “supports my argument”. Does the example demonstrate my belief that the coach has a tangible effect on how the team plays? I think it does.

Of course it does. The question is whether we would be doing better under any given alternate coach.

I'm not even talking about today's game. Have you actually been watching them play the past 2 months or just looking at scorelines and making assumptions on how they are playing? Go back and watch their game v the Bunnies. They played some awesome attacking footy, just a shame for them they can't defend for shit (a bit like us)....

Roosters also I'd say, but there wasn't alot in the betting.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well as I said under Barrett they lost many game by 10 points. Not blown out.
As season went on they also probably gelled a little. But also got to play the 3 weakest sides in comp. The Sharks in Extremely wet conditions. Souths without Cook or Murray.

Yes they flogged us. But they beat better sides earlier in the year.

And them flogging us (which is a data point overweighted by Eels fans) had as much to do with our f**kup as anything Mick 'Supercoach' Potter cooked up.

Do we at least get a position?

LOL I said I wasn’t comparing anything other than a 19 year old half’s defence. But hey, flame away at Jake. I guess my bad for leaving the gate open.

They should be a much better side next year. But they lose two of their better performers over the last 2 mths in JMK and Vaughn. I find it interesting how they will go.
