A realistic look at the season so far

With all the sack people brigade going of their trolleys after two straight loses, someone needs to get things in perspective. 

Last year we got the spoon, so this year was never going to be a walk in the park.

Despite the sack BA crews cries of dismay, three rounds ago we were given an A+ for recruitment this year. Fergo and Paulo filled two gaping holes we had last year, a big winger and forward. 

Teams have good and bad runs. Look at the knights, 4 in a row since they beat the Eels, before that they were being blasted as underperformers with Ponga and Pearce not working it out. Suddenly they have clicked and are of. 

We are definitely missing the Browns. The team was built around Moses and Brown and they do seem to work well together. Sivo was great recruitment and will get better and better. 

This years team is a whole new look. Give it some time to gel. Seriously we will maybe make the finals but will be making up the numbers. Give Brown, Sivo, Moses and Mahoney the rest of this season and an off season and I think next year we will be a force to be reckoned with. 

Its a work in progress and realistically BA hasn’t exactly been given a dream team and a dream run to work with. 

I too have been waiting since 86 for another premiership, and every year is harder to deal with. But spitting the dummy and crying is not being a supporter, it’s being a negative degrading loser. 

Eels win lose for life

  • Same coach, same players, same mistakes, same results, and you qyestion why we are crying.

    Well i,ll tell you why  BECAUSE WE HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THIS SHIT FOR THE NEXT 2.5 YRS.

    Get my drift.

    • Same players? It’s not like any coach can go out and change a whole team. That’s just ridiculous. 

      But I didn’t see Fergo, Sivo, Dylan or Paulo here last year 

      we’ve got a new halves pairing which is unfortunately messed up a bit due to Dylan’s injury. 

       

      • There was no Dylan and no Sivo in the game i watched, but out of the 17 there were 3 newbys.

        So same coach, same team, same mistakes same results.

        So ya sayin iam asking to much after 5 yrs with the mostly same team for the last 3 REALY.

        • Same whingy bitch. Thats for f#$ken certain. Dab those tears off your cheek Graham.

          • Tears are gone but the shit is still here Nick.

              • Realy, start of the week stated Eels would win by 14, finals 2020 and 2021. Then i watched the game, same mistakes, same effote, same result. Same presser.

                Storm beaten by 2 pts, coach says result unacceptable if these players carnt perform he will find players that can.

                St george coach states same players making same mistakes and not listening iam going to weild the axe, are they winghing NO they just don't accept below par performances.

                There is always luck in Footy we got our share on Saturday night, cowboys didn't missed out by a second, the final score could have been a lot worse.

                You call it winghing i call it facts.your happy with how were travillin iam not.

                This is a fourm i will stste what i think when i want, the good thing is YOU don't have to read it

                After 5 yrs PARRAMATTA are still treading water, same coach, same mistakes, same results and it will stay the same unless there is CHANGE.

  • Teams have good and bad runs. Look at the knights, 4 in a row since they beat the Eels, before that they were being blasted as underperformers with Ponga and Pearce not working it out. Suddenly they have clicked and are of.

    It wasn't working because Ponga was at 5/8 with no room to move. Moved him back to FB and the results are evident.

    Yes we are better than last year but when we lose, we lose badly and get stream-rolled by the opposition forwards. It's been happening ever since the Raiders. It's not being fixed and I can't see how it can with the likes of Alvaro and Terepo.

    • We ll just duck out the back and pick a prop off the tree then shall we. 

      • Lol

      • Both were plodders and dickfingers last year and the year before. I don't think that changes much having see both 4-5 years now. Zero improvement. If you're not making progress you're falling behind.
