Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Last night he went back to trying too hard in attack.

Two runs and a kick is trying too hard?

Yes the kick was overlaying his hand early in the game.

Against Souffs simple pass to the Halves and Gutho to attack

Trying to use his own brain, instead of listening to Moses and Brown and just feeding them... your stats can't capture the difference in his derp week to week.

Short kicks behind early on can slow the edge defenders, give them something to think about. Gutho and co. won’t get much done with merkins up in his face as soon as he catches the ball.

I understand you know more about the game than Josh Hodgson, but I’d say he also knows a bit about how to set up a win.

 

[the phantom menace]

Was shit last night and got hooked earlier than the week before.

I'd say BA knows a bit more about how to reduce f**k-ups when he sees a player in a key position is off his game compared to the previous week.

Cool maybe if that's the plan give it to our halves to put those kicks in as he hasn't had much luck with his kicks this season.

Or even Greig as he probably isn't as shit at putting in kicks at the moment..

But hey what does everyone bar you and maybe BA know

I think Hodgson 30, Hands 50 is the right mix going forward. Maybe in time it becomes Hands 30, Hodgo 20-25, Hands 25-30 but then you’re burning 2 interchanges.

 

[eels_fan]

Crazy to think at the end of this rounds it’s likely that the ladder will show

Penrith - 1st - 7 wins
Broncos - 3rd - 9 wins
Parra - 13th - 6 wins

Closest comp in history?

Also…
bye points and timings are stupid. No team should have 2 byes before another even gets 1.

Arthur knew well how much better the Cowboys controlled the ball than did Souths last week. Hodgson was only required to make 24 tackles in 54 minutes last week. Last night he made almost as many (21) in 31 minutes. An excellent work rate over that span. He deserved a rest.

The kick was fine. There’s always a chance some merkin will stick his foot out. What we should have done was recover it for a set restart.

Your small brain needs a rest

I think there’s a solid reason why Hodgo starts against fresh the forwards and stays in the fight until well after the first bunch of interchanges.

Get rid of bye points.

Do we really need them especially when there is 3.

No other sports hand out bye points.

I only just realised that if the Warriors didn’t shit the bed, the top 8 would’ve all been on same competition points

No other sports hand out bye points.

And we have to wait the entire season to catch up to everyone else’s free points

Bryce Cartwright: I can't thank Brad Arthur and the Eels enough - ABC listen

Bryce Cartwright has gone from being a bit part player at Parramatta to a mainstay of their back row playing every game so far in 2023. Cartwright credits coach Brad Arthur for working on his game to make him cut out the silly errors and become a more consistent player. He told Andrew Moore and...

Yeah it's what he needs in his head. Not magic every play
