Rumours and Stuff

[Glenneel]

I watch in delay and as soon as I get a whiff of capitulation and failure I fast forward to the end. I'm not wasting 2 hours of my time to be disappointed and miserable at the end. I can spend my time in much more enjoyable ways. Cheers

Like drink the bar dry? Yes I only watched the first half of the Storm game and already picked up that our D was hopeless. The same old shit year after year with no improvement. Despite players missing our D should still be strong. So what did they concentrate on in the off season? Defence was the obvious weakness of the team so one would have thought that.

Glad we didn't get Klemmer......

Kapow would have been ok.

Klemmer would have been a totally rejuvenated player at our club and may have even been enough for us to win the title...if our hooker could see out the season that is.

At the Tigers he has fallen into the muck that is the Tigers just like all their other prized recruits. Look at their dummy half, world beater at the Panther....a putz looking for players to pass to at the Tigers.

I love watching the Tigers implode each and every year, keeps us out of the firing zone and one less competitor in the west to really worry about, especially for recruitment. I wish all other Sydney clubs would be run as badly. I want all of Sydney to be OURS!!!

Agree 100%.

The longer the Tigers are a basketcase is better for parramatta long-term

The question is where do you stick him?

In 2025, 2 years away, will you still have him at fb if his speed declines?
If it is still decent ala Teddy, yeah keep him at 1. This is assuming Moses resigns.

If Moses doesnt, he can slot in the halves.
Our pack will be reasonably old too by then.

I think Lane and Matto would be 31 too

2025
Utility: Brown, Gutherson (31)
Fullback: -
W/C: Dunster (26), Penisini (23), Sivo (32)
Half: -
Hooker: -
Edge forward: Lane, Mataele (23), Matterson
Middle: Campbell-Gillard (32), Paulo

In two years time there will be many positions that need retooling and the team itself will need a massive clean out. Lets hope that the powers that be are already in advanced thought and preparation to achieving this seamlessly and that Baldy is not part of the fabric by then or it will be ugly.

Who am I kidding...sh*ts gonna hit the fan.

 

[Glenneel]

I feel for you fella… the Tigers were always my second team due to an old mate of my dear departed dad who loved them. I used to go to games at Leichhardt with him in the 70’s.
unfortunately I think it’s gonna be a long season.

Well that'll be a change, normally we know.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Thanks scoop.

The point is that we aren’t going as well as we could because they are unavailable. Look at Melbourne without NAS and Munster.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Murchie was signed when we had no clear right side edge forward option. We've since signed Doorey and had a conversation with Curtis Sironen.

I’m sure we signed Murchie for the middle. His lateral movement is only good enough to be a backup on the edge.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I doubt if we snagged a good forward he would play those minutes

If he was better than Murchie he would play longer minutes than him.

 

[Glenneel]

But what about the heir apparent. Goes by the first name Matt and coincidentally has the same surname as the current coach. Not sure if related if but if you dig a bit deeper and maybe get a DNA sample you might find the answer

From what I've read he goes ok but at least 2 years off being ready. If Hodgo gets in his ear might become better than ok.

 

[TheRam]

Yep ---and I was proved correct about my assessment of Tim Smith. Haven't lived in Hay since 2017 (unfortunately, as it is the best community in NSW, in my opinion)...
"Take time to smell the roses mate, you'll enjoy life more"...
Apart from obviously seeing NOTHING positive about the Club, what gives you enjoyment about being an Eels supporter???...are there any POSITIVES at all..As I said, you must live a sad and lonely life. I'll bet you kick your dog every time Parra win, because it takes away your opportunity to post a negative....WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY ENJOY?????

Mate we all have different ways we vent, otherwise anger and frustration can get real nasty. Get off your supporters high horse. Being angry and upset at your favourite clubs failures is a normal part of life. Get over yourself. You seem to think you are a Zen Master of the NRL.

P*SS OFF into your self imposed country hole and leave us the F alone!

I'm not really upset, just making a point. UMMMMM.....

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We all know that is a red herring thrown out by captain Poo-Excuse-Alot and the real issue is how bad our junior talent identification and recruitment is that is not adding and complimenting our premier well paid players. You can't be that bad at it and think that something won't give. The cracks will invariably start to show as soon as injuries and repetitive seasonal fatigue set in and that is where we are at.

Ignore the Poo. He is just a mouth piece for failure to have a seat at the table of reason and reality. Should be dismissed almost every time.

No excuses!

Good to see you back after a couple of losses mate. This could be your only chance to kick the club while it’s down. Make the most of it.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yes I only watched the first half of the Storm game and already picked up that our D was hopeless.

We held them to zero in the first half. It helped that Munster was off the field.

[parra pete]

Getting angry over two NARROW losses to teams that finished in the top echelon in 2022 is acceptable...!!!!! FMD..Did you think the team was gonna go through the season undefeated?
It is the middle of March!!!! Not even St Patricks Day...and the nervous negative supporters have already written the team off...

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Thanks scoop.

So what are you whinging about?

 

[TheRam]

I'm only back because I'm killing time, in the same vain as our club who is killing us.

 

[TheRam]

So what are you whinging about?

As you were.

Two narrow losses that should never have happened when you look at the lack of personnel in those teams. The way we lost means we have improved our defense.........

ZERO PERCENT!

Didnt we sign him because The Crow said hes a great bloke?
