Several times the other night, I thought we put in good sets, we seemed to have the right game plan, and then inevitably we attempt an over complex backline move and the ball gets passed to noone or a forward under pressure just drops it cold.
After Monday's game it is clear that poor performance is now simply accepted between our players and the coach. I refer to our marker defence or lack of it. We always appear to have one marker laying in the ruck. I am not sure if this is due to fatig
Let's me start by apologizing for the sloppy writing The NRL Guy is no word Smith.Thank-you NRL, you have just given every club the information they need to rort the salary cap. You have proven to all the fans out there just how uneven tthe competiti
"The product" is so shit! It's honestly an embarrassment that he is in first grade. It's an abomination and I would honestly prefer to have Dane Weston as our halfback instead of this joke of a player.
Who didn't expect to get beaten tonight? North Queensland were at full strength! Full strength! Wouldn't the scores be reversed with Parra at full strength and if the Cowboys were without about seven players including Thurston and Morgan. Think about
What's the deal with Pauli Pauli - is he unfit, injured or just lazy?
We were still in the game when he let that try in. He was still getting up off the ground, when the Cowboy player launched at him from dummy half. If Pauli Pauli was standing up, th
What is everyones thoughts on bringing in Toovey as an assistant coach. I noticed on Monday night that Green has Cartwright and Furner on his coaching staff which both were first grade coaches, debatable if they we
I thought he played well tonight. Give him more minutes and this kid will shine.
Might not be a Superstar, but could be one of those solid bench players that you know will come on and just give his all. This is something we have been missing for years
What was he thinking, just needed to get down low and he would have scored, thats when the game changed.Ps..time to put up photoshopped pics of Nadia with a ball in her hand.
Why are we the only club that doesn't ever give some of our young talent a go in first grade? That is why we have some of our best young kids to come through at other clubs. Guys like Blake Green, James Maloney, Trent hodkinson, Jorge tafua, etc etc
Sterlo mentioned this just after full time and he's 100% correct.It is certain players within the squad time and time again. I don't know how it's going to change. I'm sick of looking forward to next season. It's been the same crap for so long now. P
Anyone else find Thurston's comments to Hindy on the Matty Johns show a little dirspectful to the Eels?He asked Hindy if he is on the Eels coaching staff because he expected more from the Eels and then laughed his stupid laugh. Pretty much rubbished
Just interested to hear your opinion on the Adam Goodes saga.Are the fans being racist for booing or is it actually Goodes who is the instigator?Your opinions please...
"I agree. That's his role on the show - to be the contrarian!But I felt his performance last night had a bit more personal stuff going on. He got a bit agitated and so did Braith. I reckon something was said at the pre show rehersal. "
"Chiefy, the tricky part here is that media speculation that Matterson was one of the cards on the table is not the same as Matterson formally being a card on the table. Hence the other way to interpret the post is that Matterson has went on record…"
"Thx for posting Matto's post, Eli. That post says it all. Matto was not involved until given a fait accompli, but of course Storm-friendly media need to paint his as "stubborn". This is called "cooling out the mark", which is where the loser (Storm)…"
"But, Blue Eel, according to TCT, it's been the toughest preseason ever and Matterson has trained the house down.
Kidding, fake news, but anyway has Matto been at training?"
