Rumours and Stuff

[King-Gutho94]

I’d rather that than scrape into 4th and play the Panthers at home.

We get the bye last round anyway.

Get a 4 week tilt from bottom half of the 8 won't be a bigger issue like last year as we had to bust our balls to get into 4 by beating storm in last round.

We win down in Melbourne we make the 8 !

We play in Melbourne coming off b2b 6 day breaks including coming off a game in Townsville.

Talk about the umpteenth stitch up we copped with the draw this year.

Must have been the deal we did to get the last round bye.

I agree I think we miss out unless we jag 2 wins on the road.

The Townsville game is crucial.

Problem is all the weaker teams in the 8 like the Raiders and Sharks have gift draws when they probably shouldn't be there.

Yep. In regards to the teams who shouldn't be there ie. Sharks, at least they beat those teams outside the 8. We have lost 3 games to teams outside the 8: Manly, Titans and Roosters.

Seibold the gift that keeps on giving.

Why anyone would want Lodge after his history and failure to complete a contract is beyond belief.

Lodge's manager is Moses. As is Seibold's. And a host of other Manly players. A similar thing happened in Brisbane. We know how that worked out. I hope history repeats.

Yep, can’t wait hopefully a spoon is their future as well.

I’m not a fan of Seibold. I reckon he will be under immense pressure next season to hold his job.

That would be 2nd greatest thing to happen behind Parramatta winning a premiership.

 

[Eelogical]

Whilst I don’t reckon those teams go undefeated, it is highly possible that we win only 3 more games.

I commented on here earlier in the season that I'd seen enough (meaning that I didn't think that we'd make the top 4 and go on with it) and that opinion really hasn't changed. I'm as frustrated as anybody else on here as far as the Eels winning a premiership is concerned but I can't see it happening in 2023. Yep, I'll keep following them with the blind faith that is the lifeblood of an Eels supporter. It's very exciting!

I reckon if you asked a manly fan 6 months ago they would sign Sharon Woods, Lodge, Jake Arthur and Luke Brooks in the space of 6 months.

They would have vomited in there mouth.

I think it's funny how many let this happen even though it's been pointed out multiple times.

We deserve what we get. We played like sh*t the first half of the season so if we don't make the 8 or get done because we came in at the bottom of the 8 then it's the players and more so the coaches and recruitments team problem with a shit dummy half signing that really was the difference between winning and losing some of those earlier games and even if you add in injuries which every team needs to factor in anyway.

You get what you deserve.

That may be so but give me this any day over those horrible years when we knew by mid season that we would not feature in the semis and had no chance of a tilt at the title.

There's many factors that define where we currently are.
Matto taking the three game suspension.
Hodgson playing well below his best (absolute dodgy signing).
Lane breaking his jaw then following it up with a hammy injury.
Moses playing contract ducks and drakes combined with dodgy clutch plays.
Taking a game to that shithole known as Darwin then play against a team that is used to hot climate.
Dylbo getting a case of the gropes.
Parlaw getting beyond his best.....sunset years.
Not being able to go on with the job against the Dolphins after filleting them in the first half. This to means shows lack of killer instinct.
SOO selections ( no real excuses as most teams are affected), though we're the only team that didn't get a pre SOO bye.
Beyond near our best 17 we are going to struggle though I'm liking the progress that Hopgood and Penisini have made as well as Bailey finding a home in the centres.

Sure, no arguments from me. Maybe it's just that I seen this movie too many times since 1986, which coincidentally was the year that Crocodile Dundee was released.

and all this because the team lost its game against the Warriors after winning its previous five...oh, woe is us....

Pete's alright. I like his horse Trevor, too.

Yep, quite incredible isn't it? And lost that game missing 3/4 or 4/4 of the first choice spine (depending on how you view Hodgson).
