Parramatta Eels Chat | What's gone wrong in the 2018 season?

They neeed to start winning. Derp.

Kent and his culture thing again. He said the same thing on NRL360 and both Luke Lewis and Josh Reynolds rolled their eyes at him when he tried to say that no player can have few beers after work if you take the job serious.

That piece proves to me that Journos just make shit up on the fly.

As I posted earlier, if you look at the ladder yes we have failed this season. Break it down however: Sharks beat us 1 try each, Tigers beat us 5 tries to 4, Panthers beat us 1 try each, we lose vs Tigers but scored 5 tries to 4, Sharks beat us 4 tries each, Bulldogs beat us 2 tries each.

We have a bit of luck and win those 6 and we are top 4.

yeah because phil rothfield and bourbon bec were such teetotalers
he makes some good points occasionally but he has an agenda that just taints everything he says

 

[Avenger]

Kent makes shit up as he goes along. However the only valid points that they made is that we got all our recruitment wrong this year and we did not properly cover for the loss of Semi.

 

[strider]

There is no properly covering for Semi. He is a freak. When he is on he is possibly the most allusive ball runner the game has ever seen

What would have been "properly covering for Semi"?

Golden boy should have been a fair start but he has hardly played.

 

[strider]

Our recruitment and retention has failed off the field in the staff and on the field in that we didnt see players regressing.

lol, yep we are just a gun team out of luck.

Yeah a bit like how Storm will struggle w/o Camillions. You cant replace him and let's not pretend that you can.

They were talking about how the Hayne thing didn't work, but he has been injured. Hardly a failed experiment. Just more bad luck.

F**king good question.

No-one raised this ‘properly covering for Semi’ shit at the end of last year.

Also if you cast back to last year Semi was actually the most error prone player in our team (and the league from memory).

Lots of people were blowing up deluxe about him last year.

...and we reckon Kent makes shit up on the fly...

Teams who are in form seem to make their own luck.

Teams that are down in confidence are not coincidentally down in luck as well.

The Eels and the Cows are better than their position on the table suggests. If you can't acknowledge that then I give up. BA and Green did not forget how to coach. The players did not forget how to play, but things are not working out so far. Moreso for the Cows as they have GOAT, half a dozen SOO players and Toumolololololo.

 

[Gazzamatta]

The harder you work the luckier you get.

 

[TheParraboy]

The harder you work the luckier you get.

hopefully our injured troops on the sidelines are working hard...

I’m sorry but if you think that with a bit of luck would could be with the top four you are off with the pixies.

We are so badly off the pace it’s not funny, the players are having a crack and BA hasn’t lost them yet. It’s about the positive you can take out of the season so far.

All of those things that you’ve raised are too difficult for some bozos to understand and process so they all get labelled as ‘excuses’.

Well considering all the players we have out, we weren’t disgraced by the side coming 3rd this week in the warriors or the side coming 5th in the sharks twice this year. Or the side coming 2nd in the Panthers twice (we scored same amount of tries both times).

Yeah improvements are needed but if we were that far behind we wouldn’t lose 5 games just on penalty goals (as per gronk’s post)

We have only lost 2 games by more then 10 points, so surely adding 2-3 quality players may just fix a few problems.

Additionally considering how shit we are “going” and the injuries we have, surely if BA had lost the dressing room or the players were not have a crack we would have been flogged more the once ?

Don’t get me wrong it’s a f**ken disappointing season but!! But i can see it being fixed for 2019!

 

[hineyrulz]

We are a better team than last and with a few back i can see us winning some games in the back end of the year.

But to say we are a top 4 chance is pure rubbish.


We were very poor the first month before injuries really kicked in.

No one is saying we are top 4 !! Far from it!!

But it may not take a few years to fix! With some better luck and a few new recruits the future may not be as bad as some think.

Have a look at Gronks post, we were close in 6 of those games and with a bit of luck with could he up there in the top 4.

Pure lunacy.

Yet you can’t fault all of the points that Gronk raises that if addressed gets us into the Top 4.

You’ve attacked the headline comment but ignored the detail. You need to disprove the detail if you want us to believe that the headline comment is off the mark.

 

[84 Baby]

Isn't whiney one of the ones saying we lucked into a top 4 finish last year?

 

[Gazzamatta]

I hope so too. Pretty obvious Gutho did. I reckon Browny would be too.
We know Hayne wants to get back but hes not prepared to risk it if you can believe the press.
