Superthread XXXIV

[Bazal]

Whatever happened to Tim Smith?

Playing reserve grade in England. Couldn't get past his bi-polar, it killed his career

 

[Cliffhanger]

That's disappointing, he had heaps of potential.

 

[dogslife]

I feel sorry for Nathan Hindmarsh. His career deserved a premiership in there somewhere

 

[Cliffhanger]

We may have farewelled Fitzy with a wooden spoon but at least we gave him a premiership.

 

[Didgi]

Tim Smith is being a rocks and diamonds player in a mostly rocks team, really quite sad.

 

[woodyk2]

Disgusted that Manly switch off and let these merkins score.

 

[Cliffhanger]

How funny would it be if the Eels beat the dogs next week?

 

[woodyk2]

Bloody hilarious....hope it happens.

 

[Bazal]

Seriously? We couldn't beat ourselves....

 

[Cliffhanger]

You beat the Sharks and the Sea Eagles because they wrote you off. Who knows it could happen and Dogs f**king deserve it after making those shirts.

Beating the Panthers doesn't count.

 

[woodyk2]

Kearney supercoach.

 

[Bazal]

We beat those sides because the players decided the coaches game plan was shit and played footy. Same thing happened against the Tigers and again today. The Dogs will do what Manly have done and blow us off the park early before the players tell Kearney to stick his gameplan up his arse

 

[Cliffhanger]

Getting a girl drunk to get laid is a lot like golf, you want to get to the hole with the least amount of shots possible

He has bi-polar does he? Didn't know that. Bitch of an illness. My old man has it (fairly mild, thank f**k).

Well their recruitment manager is Nolan, the guy who played a big role in the Broncos missing their first final series in some time.

Honestly not surprised.

The silly recruitment decision was buying both Sandow & Roberts. Both need a stable halves partner who can hold up their end, not enigmas who come up with 2 bad plays for every good.

Tonga was a dud decision too. Can't say the Eels weren't warned though. Cows fans let out a giant 'meh' when he left. Thurston made him look better than what he was and squeezed everything he had left to offer in 09 & '10.

I don't think they need to make too many adjustments to their playing roster. A couple of good purchases from the Qld/NSW Cup + NYC would fix things but not enough to get them where they need to be.

Really, they could sack SK tomorrow and it would mean little. They need to start higher and go from there.

 

[woodyk2]

Parra are shit....i'm happy.

 

[Cliffhanger]

Parra are a team I generally don't pay much attention to. When they go well, I remember I hate them.

 

[Jason Maher]

Out of interest, did the Eels willingly let Mateo go?

 

[BunniesMan]

We're building this year. We're building something special.

 

[Jason Maher]

f**k off merkin.
