Game Day Blog - Eels vs Dolphins

Posted by Grunta the great on April 19, 2024 at 10:54am

I'm in Cairns and it's very hot and humid here, so I can imagine what Darwin is like and how the boys are feeling!

Tonight we see the Eels take on Benny's boys in our annual home game in the Territory. Recent years have been unsuccessful for the Eels copping a couple of touch ups and hopefully this year is different. The Dolphins have their best 3 players out and even with Moses out, there are no excuses for BA and the team.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Talagi is used from the bench if he is used at all! I am one who agrees with his selection, he's just got to be in the team somewhere.

So, who wins and by what margin?

MOM?

GO YOU EELS!!!

    Gee I thought we were ordinary against the Raiders, didn't think we could put on a worse performance. WRONG. 

    I think it's time BA acknowledged he is out of his depth. This side is not playing for the coach. Brad ya cooked mate and should be told 2024 season and your gone.

    Just so disappointing watching the Eels tonight. They just rolled over and let it happen.

    • BEM > Graham polkinghorne April 19, 2024 at 9:55pm

      He shouldn't be given until the end of the season. 

      He needs to be sacked now.

      Let Barrett finish the season as head coach.

      He couldn't do any worse than this fraud.

      • Hugo > BEM April 19, 2024 at 9:58pm

        10000 % This is exactly what should happen. It will also show the team that there are consequences. 

      • LB > BEM April 19, 2024 at 10:02pm

        100% agree, he needs to go now. Who cares if Barrett is interim, if you have an interim season is over anyway, just get Bennett now before Souths do.

        Well honestly i do not think Bennett signs with Souths til he knows what is happening with Arthur since Bennett has reportedly eyed Parramatta.

      • Adam Magrath > BEM April 20, 2024 at 6:41am

        That's what a strong club committed to success would do (I said 3 years ago the moment the decision is made that we will not win a premiership under Arthur he needs to be moved on - irrespective of who is available). Still waiting.

    Away game , high heat, high humidity, " Chase the collision" horses for courses, and I dont coach 1st Grade. Is First grade the top grade, like the best grade? is this acceptable really????

    • Mr Perpetual Motion > Bear April 19, 2024 at 10:00pm

      There was no collision chasing in the second half. Shirt grabbing and lazy marker defence

  • Ace Eel April 19, 2024 at 9:54pm

    Watching Parra play is like feeling the pain of chronic arthritis and living with a constant acute mental illness 🙃
