Shades of 2018

I can't help but feel we are in for a disappointing season. In rd 1 2018 we were looking great until Waqa Blake destroyed us just before halftime with a great individual try. Penrith got the momentum and went on with it from there. I look back at that year and truly believe waqa single-handedly dropped our heads, dropped our season.


Rd 2 we got absolutely destroyed at brookvale and whilst we had good games here and there through out that season we were certainly worthy of the spoon.

Geez I hope I'm wrong but I can smell a flogging coming again at brookvale.

  • If we don't win this weekend I don't we make the 8. The club needs to be smart and bring some players in line the roosters have with brown 

    • I agree. Lose this weekend by a flogging and i deadset wouldn't be shocked if we get the spoon again.

      • If you think a loss this weekend means we are headed for the spoon, then I take it you didn't watch the Knights v Tigers game yesterday...

        • Yes, if flogged this weekend by manly, I wouldn't be surprised if we get the spoon this year. We found a way to lose to the tigers last year. Api is unfit remember. All they'd need is a couple of their middle forwards to have a random good game and give some space to a fit api and yep I could see them finding a way to beat us.

          • NOT. A. CHANCE.

            • You're probably right. There is a chance though. But yeah probably come good here and there and win 3-4 games and that might just be enough to avoid it.

  • We lost both games by 4 points against top sides. One in golden point.
    Don't understand all the doom and gloom. 

    • Top sides hey. Yeah the Storm were flogged by the Dogs. And the Sharks without their star halfback and forward leader and at Commbank   I'm afraid Brad is lost for answers,  and is one of the worst development coaches in eels history.  We won't be in the 8 all season guaranteed.

      • Guaranteed?

        • Absolutely.  Then you have guys like Matterson who signs a large contract then doesn't want to play.  He won't be adding anything trust me
