Well, we are not surprised by the result.
In any NRL game, there are 3 major ingredients for a win.
1. All players play for each other at the highest standard
2. No Injuries to key players before or during the game
3. LUCK!
How many No try calls have we had in the last few weeks?
Ice them all and you win the game.
Mentally the Eels dropped their heads when they didn't score those tries.
Some players gave up mentally while others carried them on their backs (Poor GUTHO tried his heart out, my MOM)
but they too were dragged down by poor play and mistakes. Aka SIVO (he is now a liability to the team, poor positonal play, Z grade stuff. A man mountain no longer running hard, just melts into the tackle. Where is that powerful fend and leg drive we saw in the first year??) JA is just WAY OUT of his depth (2 dropped balls was just getting in the way all the time, resulted in tries)
But wait there is more!
Despite all the doom and gloom and frustration with selections and coaching we can still become PREMIERS 2021!! Even if we lose the next 5 games!
Some selections: Drop Sivo replace with Dunster. Drop Waqa, add Penisini in the centres. Drop JA, that is SO obvious..... and replace with MM, Fergo is carrying rib injuries then Waqu on the wing (He is not a centre!)
Bryce Cartwright is a must. Bring him in after 20minutes We need more ball players.
No longer will I get frustrated for something I cannot change. Just enjoy the ride and support the EELS. Stay positve guys. Good things will come to those that wait.

Worst case scenario is BA does not get sacked,
Too late in the year but definitely something to be considered after the end of the season. UNLESS we are Premiers ......!
Premiers? I will kindly assist you to unicornland. https://thecumberlandthrow.com/

Just go to 'teanlist tues' from the 27th, go to comments, the first one by forty20 is what its all about over there lol
Dirk, good to see you posting, hows the acting career going? doing anything interesting mate?
Nope..all on-hold gigs everywhere but no one is shooting at the moment.
So out of curiosity what players are in QLD from other clubs we could recruit ? What I've seen from our squad, and this dates back to when Moses was playing is that we are shit . We couldn't even put shit teams to the sword long before Jake Authur was playing HB . The signs were there when we were at full strength.
Good things come to those who wait. So does death! I think we have waited long enough mate. The longest of any other team to be frank....
Just Drop one Dirk, the coach.
Goodbye Brad. Thankyou for your service.
