Sign of Respect - Peats

Posted by The eel deal on May 12, 2016 at 9:46am

Hey guys as a loyal (some would say tragic) supporter of the eels, I would have to say the last few months have been difficult. There has been a silver lining though and that has been the resolve of the fans and the slight hope that there is a pinhole of hope in the long tunnel that is this season. Lets make no mistake that the hope of us making the finals is due to Nathan Peats moving to the Titans. I would like to propose that as a show of respect for what Peats did for our club and also a sign of disrespect to the board members that let this happen on their watch. I would like to propose that at the start of the ninth minute all the fans turn their backs to the game as one united group.

Just a thought but like him or not Peats is the reason we are playing for points.

Let's not make a political statement at a game. A round of applause or a "Peatsy" chant on the 9th minute would be more suited.

  Where is a better place to do so ?

  I am sure if the players knew it was a sign of respect for one of the most popular of the playing group. They would not be offended and would suggest it would be exactly the opposite. Let's not show a stand at the game where we get to stand as a group. Let's continue to tolerate this rubbish. We should arguing about where to put the new upgraded trophy cabinet.

what !!!??the players and coach haven't gone through enough you reckon mate?? OMG do you believe that ANYONE wanted this to happen.and have one of our faves leave under these conditions? Ask Todd why he felt the need to lump past histories onto a team that largely had zilch to do with the misdemeanours and successfuly managed have got everyone believing in NRL land that these blokes are cheats and deserve what they got.

Why don't we all chant Naaaathan or Peatsy just before kickoff . I'm sure that everyone will catch on and join in . If everyone starts it off in the section where you are sitting and just before kickoff it will get the message across. I'll start it off at the top of the Thornett stand !!!! Who's in ???

  Nathan wont be at the game but will be watching at home.
  
  Wouldn't it be great for him to hear us chanting "Peatsy" for 20 or 30 seconds just prior to game-time.
  
  All we have to do is someone to start and we'll all follow.
  
  Let's show him our feelings over him going.
  
  That's as long as the NRL doesn't view it as a breach.

I think a standing applause and/or Peatsy chant at the 9th minute of each/either half would do better.

Still need to show support for the boys, and turning our backs to them will be somewhat holding the players responsible too.

Retire no.9, Re-name a stand in his honour, Build a bronze statue and throw in the keys to city.

I reckon all the ladies should flash their boobs on the 9th minute of the first and second halves as a sign of respect , Peatsy loved tittys I'm told , actually I think Peatsy once played # 6 as well so you should also do it on the 6th minute of both halves , come to mention in when he was in under 11's I think he played just about every position so it's only fair you respect every number he's worn . You ladies aren't true fans unless you honour this sign of respect in my opinion .
