Think this game was always going to be a tough one once the incentive of a top 4 spot was gone. And with a home final locked in either way, players would have been looking towards next week.
Hope Des can get them focused. Tbh would prefer to play the donkeys anyway since they need to fly down...
Wow this is so far the best timeline. NSW winning and DCE playing well while all the other qld players stuff it up. Here's hoping for more in the second half.
Will only give Penn some kudos when we see how things go the next season.
One step in the right direction after a tonne of **** ups isn't worthy of any kind of praise.
It's so funny I could cry.
I had even forgotten about this travesty until the thread refreshed my memory.
One of the long list of stuff ups that Penn's done for the club to satsify his own ego.
If only we had a group of high profile local women who helped to promote the club, raise money for charities and help with garnering sponsorships.
We could call them Eagles Angels!
Holding out some hope that its not the end of the story yet with Macguire, Can only assume he's angling for the Brisbane position, will have to wait for coaching merry go round to stop before we see how the dust settles.
Appointing Cartwright would be a dumb decision but this is from the same...
Seems like the courts applied some amount of common sense to the case.
Hopefully Fainu learns his lesson and everyone can move on.
Have to say wasn't that impressed with his defence and service this year, but I guess he's still young and developing.
Kelly is doing fine. A different year and we'll actually get the penalty for those dropped balls.
And the reason we lost isn't because of those dropped balls but our defence. And it's not Kelly and Tafua's side that the tigers targeted..... Suli & Parker need to be taught how to defend...
NiTv is the SBS channel that focuses on indigenous australians.
Hence the panel for over the black dot is all indigenous players.
Its a great show actually as they actually talk about footy with analysis from a different point of view.
