Rumours and Stuff

What have you been feeding Joffa?

The blood of his enemies...

It seems very light, but you don't know what submissions were put in relation to circumstances, history etc.

Still seems a bit light though

I don't know much about Ezra's upbringing and the challenges he may have had.

But as professional athlete for 4 years now who probably gets a lot more education with various things more then the average person.

There is simply no excuse.

He didn't have a licence.

Anyone who is driving a car and commits an offence without a registered licence should have no remorse, sympathy or any excuse professional athlete or not.

You know that from an early age you can't drive without a licence.

By driving a car you do have a weapon in your hands. Its just reality. Every car on the road is a potential weapon.

Having drugs in his system well that just added to the stupidity really. And should have made the crime 10 times worse

It made the crime 10 times worse - it should have made the punishment 10 times more severe.

I don't believe in licences other than for breeding.

Do you believe in enforcable road rules?

Only for merkins that ask me too many questions

I remember saying it around the time Allgood did something stupid on a mad Monday (and you all laughed at me) after a psychologist, the next hire I’d do is an old club hand who’s job is to be on call at all hours to be these f**kers uber home. It’d cost a couple of season tickets.
And players need to get out of Hollywood sports. Entourages that legit stars take around are half minders. Hangers on and groupies cost more in the long run.

Our back three on that day were quite good, as good as Penrith? No but that's life.

I think for middle forwards we are well served atm but I rate Paulo and matto higher than a lot of people around here.

I think our way off winning it all is going to be pairing moses' elite long kicking game with an elite kick chase. That means guys like hopgood, Williams, Cartwright, morretti, guymer etc getting down there with our backs, covering ground quickly, defending with line speed and decipline when we pin the opposition inside their own ten.

This big guys running over the top of people I feel while still effective, isn't where the game is at the moment. You see in the grand final cleary and luai ran for more metres than fish and leota. I don't want to copy everything Penrith do but they are the standard. The fatigue and speed in the game at the moment is ripe for players like Brown and iongi to do some grunt work with speed and footwork as apposed to RCG off the back fence.

The game seems to have shifted to an almost NFL-style split between attacking (backs) and defending (forwards) teams.

Alan Jones would do it.

Can you expand on this?

Essentially, the majority of attacking involvement is by players wearing jerseys 1-7 (and 9 since he touches the ball on nearly every tackle) while the majority of defensive work is performed by player numbers 8-17.

Interesting. I consider a "hit up" to be a defensive play so I am with you on this.

Even if you consider it part of the attack (as I do), plenty of hit ups are taken by the back five.

 

[84 Baby]

I also consider “kick defence” an offensive play.

 

[Gherkin]

I consider an offload a defensive play if the player is getting dragged over the sideline

 

[T.S Quint]

I consider field goals a special teams play.

Well I would have thought so.

I am trying to not let my Rugby league bias come through here because he plays for a team we all dont like. But it feels like he got hit with a wet lettuce.

The actual video of the incident looked worse then the tragic Harbour Bridge accident that happened around the same time.

If that was a Parramatta player I would have been satisfied with a sacking no matter the calibre of player.

I couldn't cheer on player that had complete disregard for public safety or there own that Ezra has in this incident.

Clearly BA learnt nothing on that Seattle junket the club did in 2014 then.

Amazing what the resources we had that the club provided and the results we got from it.

 

[T-Boon]

You can think of all tackles in terms of down and distance as in distance to the try line where I argue if one gets over the try line but is held up you should get 6 again rather than whatever plus it should be a scrum feed on the 5m line. That should be how you get a fresh set of downs rather than pinning the kick defense in the end zone (that should be a safety) which should amount to something else but I am not sure what yet but it will come to me.

Sorry if this has been posted previously, but is this the official away kit ?

Parra fans: “Where’s the yellow? Why has the club gotten rid of the yellow? Bring back the yellow, ffs!”

Eels Club: “You want yellow? Here you go you f**ken merkins! Have all the f**ken yellow in the world ya whinging bastards!”
