Post-Game Discussion Eels V Manly [Round 12, 2025]

[Dan]

The worse part was we just went sideways in attack and put up uncontested kicks hoping for an error. Terrible performance from a team missing DCE.

That was so far from the worst bit. So so far.

Did you not see us get stepped 3 times mid park?

What about the "hey ref" when we could have like you know tried to get the ball?

 

[WAMF]

How could Seibs accept his wage after that pathetic BS

 

[Wombat Junior]

Lot of coach blaming here
Don't forget the players out there they haven't turned up either

Well I know it's not the coach out there on the field but ultimately it's up to him to spray them for these performances not rock up to the presser and say how proud he is of the boys, keep them responsible for their efforts and also his job along with a few others to put a decent 17 out their on the field but also not give the old plodders more game time than the young and faster players. It's definitely not all seibolds fault for these performances but he is just as much to blame as the poor attitude players out there.

From the coaching to the players to the recruitment, it's just so FRUSTRATING.

We are not even consistently bad or consistently good, we are consistently inconsistent and that makes it even more frustrating. I get excited to watch us play, we lose. I get worried and lose hope to watch us play, we win. UGHHHHHHH.

 

[Under the Sticks]

Jakob Arthur best off season trainer blah blah blah gets his chance against his old team and then that?

No wonder we are drooling over the upcoming stars as this mob is ordinary.

Placing youngsters behind that pack is rugba leeg cruelty.

I meant game plan wise. There was literally no game plan that I could identify.

That looks like a distinct possibility this year. I kind of hope we do. At least that might stir up a revolution in this club. Because at the moment it’s a piece of SHHIIIT!!

It really would be ..... It would kill the career of Joe Walsh. His Manager should do a Lachlan Galvin and get him the **** out of here.

 

[Son of Manly Beach]

Is Arthur a better option for 6 over Brooks this year?

I'm done with Brooksy. Zero creativity and zero attack. He's Travis Burns without the attitude!

He’s been a total dud

 

[JBW]

Oh dear, what a cluster*ck that was...

I'm not going to blame Arthur for anything. I thought he tried, but he's just not good enough.

Tom actually tried hard. But he's just not physically up to it. He's not fast enough to break the line or beat anyone. He's not strong enough to find the try line from 5 meters out. Let's be honest. Is Turbo v2025 in the top 10 fullbacks in the game?

Jazz had a crack but lost the plot towards the end.

I feel bad for Tigers fans. They had to watch Brooks show no ability to lead his team to victory for a lot longer than we've had to witness it.

In a rare occasion, Ola for out monstered by their number 12. He was very impressive in attack and defence. As was their no. 15 who reminds me of Jake T v 2018.

We have a potential weopen on the wing that is 6ft3 and runs like the wind...did he see any ball?

Waddell....what do you say?

Anyway, I wish we had some kids like they do that show flare and threaten the line. We have Lehi. Every other team seams to have 3 or 4 Lehi's.

And every time one of our side has a milestone game, we suck. It was Paulo's 150 tonight and he and the team around him stood up.

Out played, out coached.

 

[Chunkytuna]

Seibold was out coached. On paper he had a better team but couldn't get them up for it. I write that saying I am not (or have not been) in the anti Seibold camp. I have been Seibold neutral but that performance edges me a bit closer ...... appalling. One of worst losses since the last really bad loss which to be fair wasn't that long ago .... this ****ing footy club.

Glad to see you’re coming around. Don’t worry next week we’ll likely put in a good performance- which will only further prove this coach has no idea how to maintain a consistently performing team. None.

And he was outcoached by such galaxy brains like Ryles and Nathan Briwn

 

[mickqld]

I don't think I've ever been as disillusioned with this club's direction than now. Even in the 1999-2005 period and the N.E debacle this place just feels like no light at the end of the tunnel. Look at Parra, Raiders, Dogs, Warriors, Tigers evenand their up and coming youngsters , the coaching direction and then look at us. Utter hopeless feeling in this club now and it seems we're the only club heading in the negative direction.

 

[ABTK]

Glad I switched it off well before half-time..!

 

[Phobia]

It could be worse.

Penn could announce we're doing pride jersey two next week!

 

[double hoops]

That's a costly 4 points. Yes 4 points.

 

[The Indian]

If I hear Turbo is fit again I will spew. If he is fit he needs to retire as his heart is not in it.

I'm not gonna bag Tom cause he is having a go. But yeah I agree he is not fooling anyone he is running like he's 35 years old these days. Every step looks labored and forced. Spare me the " he's fit" nonsense. He can barely break a tackle these days

Well said

 

[Eagleheart]

Actually, I am beyond gutted at the moment....!!

Our club has turned to garbage instead of being sponsored by it....!

(An attempt at humour from this incredibly passionate eagles fan.....otherwise I will cry for days or maybe even play with matches and a can of gasoline near a certain rugby league club owners paper recycle bin.)

 

[Chunkytuna]

Anyone still questioning whether Jake Arthur is 1st grade standard?
You got your answer and it smacked you square in the face.

How anyone could have thought he was after his pre season performances is beyond me. Makes a total laughing stock of those suggesting we should’ve just played Arthur next year instead of buying Fogarty.

 

[1967 eagle croc]

lazy slow and unfit sums up our forward pack. We desperately need some young hard hitters time to clean out the pensioners
