I have seen our upcoming schedule cannot see us win next 8 weeks . Hoping that Dragons can remain bad save us from wooden spoon. Just the injuries are too much to handle . Guess FIFA world cup be on even not soccer fan have something to watch other then eels getting pumped every week m
Dogs - probably won't watch will get ugly
Manly - in form at home we have no chance
Warriors- actually haven't lost when Metcalf is out
Cowboys - may have a chance if we weren't all injured
Storm - played Melbourne twice in magic both times got destroyed can't see us winning
Knights - playing so much better than us despite missing Ponga brown
Dogs - just different levels unfortunately
Raiders - maybe if we weren't decimated

the saints are going to start winning at some stage, if they sack Flanagan they will have a bounce back win, then return to old habits.
if parra could win 2 - 3 games from the 8 above, it will help significantly.
there could be a few teams also affected by Origin, which could take key players out .
Manly have never beaten us without Turbo so that's some hope hahah.
But Newcastle we get most of our players back like Iongi, Kautoga and Samrani. Also, Newcastle are good but they are flimsy.
Every game you say no chance, what's the point then? Just pack it up and forfeit with that attitude. Nobody would have thought we beat Brisbane in Brisbane and we did. We likely won't win the same or more than we lose but will win more games, maybe even finish strong again. Dragons are playing bad even with their full strength team. They are in games but not good enough to finish.
It will take a huge effort to stop the Eels getting the Wooden Spoon this year. The Eels for and against is the worst in the league and will only get worse unless Ryles and Co can turn this around. Once the Dragons start getting a few wins which they will then it's all over. The Eels would have to hot favourites for the spoon
We are still scoring points. Most wooden spoon teams struggle to put points on the board. If we can fix defensive lapses and stupid penalties we will start winning games again. Forget about last weekend's game - clearly the players didn't show up for that game.
It's possible definitely but based on the current form especially of the Titans game, injury list, obvious fitness levels it's going to be a real struggle. Yes, the Eels are scoring points when they're really focused in on the match but they're letting in too many. The hole in the boat is letting more in than they're taking out. Unless Ryles and Co can fix the defensive and mental toughness and fitness holes it will definitely be wooden Spoon in 2025
You are hoping.
It depends how much this temporary injury crisis impacts the team morale and belief over the next 10 weeks. Our Injuries are the reason why we're losing, as much as we don't want to rely on excuses, it's having a direct impact on our performances. We can turn it around once we get a bit of talent back into our team.
Dragons don't have the excuse of an injury crisis, they have a talent problem in their first grade squad and their coach isn't helping them and is almost more of a detriment to them.
I am confident once we get back a couple of key players we will start winning again around Origin and hopefully come home at the back end of the season. I wouldn't be surprised if our For/Against is a contributing reason for us not making the 8.
Rd 7 and we are already spoon bound I am afraid ....Im really concerned for Sundays match in front of the 86 premiership wining team......what an embarrassment....If we can loose 30-6 or something that can be classified as a win lol
Parramatta should be favourites for the spoon. Currently the Eels are $5.50. Dragons $1.50
If the dragons played us this week they would certainly win by at least 20.
We have zero outside back reserves coming through who could save us. Joash is too flippant in attack and is careless about possession. Araz is raw and a defensive liability. Volkman shouldn't be 5/8, Richard Penasini very injury prone.
Add to that our forwards are being badly beaten in every match even with a full-strength squad.
Add to that we have the worst head of football of all time and a ceo who's in hiding and only comes out to blame past coaches for his own failures How the fk our reserve grade had Jack Cini, Harper, Asi, momosia, Lumi Lumi and more , farking unbelievable. Its no wonder we have zero coming through because O'neill used reserve grade as a boarding house for nomads
In my opinion we are going to get the spoon, and the only saving grace is if we made some $$ from it. Our injury ward is spilling with players. Its just going to be too much for Ryles to contend with.
Ive never bet or thought about betting on us to get the spoon, but the circumstances atm, its going to.be very tough to avoid it
If this team loses by 40+ or 50 or even 60, i think its time that they sack the GM and start making phone calls to Gus, Shane or anyone that has ball knowledge. We aren't going to win shit if MON and CO are still running the Football side of things. Everything starts from the front office in order for us to win man.
