Somethings wrong internally.....

Posted by Beer Baron on March 24, 2018 at 10:18pm

I agree with everyone’s comments about lack of drive, penalties, whatever blah blah. What this looks like to me is that there is chaos in the camp. There is no cohesion, no comradery and no effort. The only ones which seem to be giving a feck are Mannah brown and at times Moses. There have been rumours on this site about Norman and I don’t know if anyone heard talking sport last week where they’re betting guys came out and said there were a couple of high profile eels in trouble that may not be there soon. To me sounds and looks like there is shit about to hit the fan and the team is all over the place!!!!!!!

There's very rarely team spirit when you're 3-0 down for the season. If we get some wins under the belt, the team spirit will lift.

i have no doubt there are problems and the number 6 is front and centre of it all.

  Norman is what we call a flat track bully. He should be calling the play all the time but is a complete and utter myth. the problem is who do you get to replace him ? Do we actually have a reserve grade 5/ 8 ?????

Kenny was a positive.

  Kenny was the best forward for the eels closely followed by Brown. What has happened to Alvaro ?????

We looked dejected at the start of last season too. Defensively we were really strong tonight but we just couldnt get points on the board. Dont forget that it was one try a piece tonight. We miss the big semi trailerr and gutho in our backs. I think we need some fresh faces in this team, particularly peni terepo and a new back for next weeks line up

It takes one win to change everything

I’m wondering if Ronnie Palmer going to the Tigers has had more of an impact than anyone expected? The main problems I see have been with Attitude still and signing Hayne and Evans, one is too egotistical and one just doesn’t provide much. I would be dropping them both from next week regardless

Again I thought Norman had a decent game kicking to the corners is what you want as it gives less space for them getting out of there own half. Moses has changed boots has he? Cause he’s been struggling this year with his goal kicking.

I was thinking exactly the same thing Beer Baron! There’s definitely something wrong inside the camp!

Training photo's on the eels web site showed the teams very serious on the wet day, only one player had something akin to a smirk on his face.
The captains run pics that appeared today, was totally different. almost all showed the usual fun stuff in training, except for the coach who looked serious.

They seem at times to be too happy at training when they should be more serious?????????

Sorry but without putting the knife into Brad - recruitment is definitely the issue here.
We have the 2nd oldest roster at 27 years of age... and BA has gambled on this money-ball roster.

The problem with having an older roster is that when things go against you and fatigue sets in - they cant cope as quickly as the younger blokes.
