Nope, they will beat the panthers!

No-one laughed the first time you tried it today?

I did.

No-one laughed the first time you tried it today?

I expect to see it at least 5 dozen more times this week

More like El Nintnedo weather event am I right!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Of course. I forgot all QLD hookers are exactly the same. My bad.
To me he is more of a Joey Lussick type hooker. Runs hard. Tackles hard plus he has a great general play kick and an kick goals.

Whom?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I don’t think it follows that a team with lower completions is indicative of said team not valuing completions. It just means they aren’t good at it. We’ve been one of the top offloading teams over the last few seasons despite having some of the best possession stats. We should be minimising offloads if it we were so terrified of not maintaining possession.

Again, you’re looking at it from a simplistic, qualitative perspective. You need to consider it from a quantitative point of view. While you want to minimise things like errors and penalties within your risk profile, having zero of either (over a sufficiently long sample) is a sign that you aren’t taking enough risks. Each team will have a completion rate ‘sweet spot’ where they are taking enough risks to maximise their strengths while not taking so many risks that they expose their weaknesses beyond their ability to cover them.

We are $3.25 at home against Penrith. Good odds

Whom?

Tyson "the weapon" Smoothy​

Yep. As I’ve said before, there would be no team more affected than us by lopsided possession. This is because we have more attacking players in our pack than quality defenders. So Arthur’s tactic to control possession suits us. Any tactic that increases the risk of turnovers doesn’t.

A team whose strength is its speed, on the other hand, does benefit more from riskier play. A team with a more defensive pack would be less affected by turnovers.

Bring in the Walker brothers as assistants. Their entire philosophy was time in possession.

I'm calling it. Parra to roll Penrith this week in the biggest upset of the round.

I'm calling it. You're delusional.

Im starting to think Assistants have little say in how the team plays particularly D apart from putting out the cones and making sure BA has enough water on game day.

How do we fix our side Ram? Are we cooked?

 

[SneakyEel]

There's no need to panic lads. We have our starting backrowers out and we are still very competitive. We'll be a force when they return.

 

[Twizzle]

Yes. And Jake. I don't remember ever losing 3 in a row while he was in the team.

he didn't really play that much, it was his job to warm the bench

sort of like a good luck charm

maybe the others played well because the didnt want to be the one to be replaced by jakey so they tried harder.

 

[Homo man69]

If we beat the panthers, I'll do a nudie run from my car on the street near the club to the Ray Price statue and back. At 2:00am the following morning. Ive done this 3 times in the past.
GOOOOOO EELS

 

[Homo man69]

You would think though that offloads are risky and we were the team with the highest amount of offloads per game last season.

2009 was built on offloads

The social media team reckon we are training the house down.

I bet on them 1-12 @$4.20

Super League's so called best hooker Kruise Lemming has left Leeds and been linked to the NRL. The cowboys were rumoured front runners but according to several English articles there not interested and never held any conversations. Dear lord please let it be us
