PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Eels v Manly [Round 11, 2021]

[SeaEagleRock8]

So Choc and Foz didn't do it for you? Lol
(And we would have given you T Rex back after he did his job by helping us to a grand final win) 🙂

Look, all in good fun, but here's one serious question - do you think BA can coach you guys to a grand final win? Be honest now!
Yes you get some nice modern footy grounds and a couple of decent players from time to time but face facts, winning premierships isn't really your thing. But that's OK, you can still be proud of being in the comp.

To be honest I've been highly sceptical until this year. BA has been coaching at Parra for 8 years. He should have bagged one by now. I think the problem is that he doesn't surround himself with good assistant coaches. You need good coaching assistants to bounce ideas off and maybe to learn from. I think BA is a bit of a control freak. In saying that, he has improved this year but he will need to produce us with a premiership either this year or next. Otherwise, his days are numbered. I feel something in the air this year. He has finally assembled a team to win it. Look at the players that have improved ie Moses, Mahoney, etc. He has also brought in very good players on the cheap who are performing very well ie Cartwright, Papali'i, etc. If he misses this window of opportunity he's missed the boat and will be gone

They were flops at the eels lol. One had mental instability at the time and injury-prone & the other was well past his prime. I don't think BA will do that again lol.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Who do you fear most, Panthers or Storm?

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Look I'll make you a deal. You knock one of them out and we'll knock the other one out and then we can decide this as it should be, in the grand final

 

[GuthosHalfBrother]

Panthers. I'm getting tired of waiting for them to lose one game this year. In saying that I hope we see a repeat of 2001. I hope if we make the GF we ambush them as Newcastle did to us in 2001 lol

Don't say that, I am still not over 1982/1983...

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

OK we'll take care of Penrith for you. You get rid of Melbourne.
Deal?

I can't wait for the mighty eels to smash you toe fungus unemployed shack living beach bum hippies. I'll watch from my Dural mansion the mighty King Gutho give your so-called turbo a golden wedgie. Watch the mighty eels rumble against your beach shack living team. That is all losers.

EAD.

Don'y say that, I am still not over 1982/1983...

Look we'll give them those ones, we still have Neville Glover and 1976 🙂

 

[wombatgc]

It does hurt but this year's premiership will make up for it

Yeah/Nah.

What do you think of Arthur’s decisions in Moses moving to the left edge along with Dylan Brown to the right edge?

I think it has hurt Brown’s attacking game.

It looks like the decision of Matto on the left has been canned, playing on the right edge last two games.

 

[Moops]

Can you imagine being the team responsible for giving the Eels their first premiership 35 years? We would be a laughing stock.

 

[GuthosHalfBrother]

If 2018 is ancient history what does that make your last premiership?

Lol true. I was waiting for someone to bring this up. I didn't have to wait long lol

Haha
We've had some good fan forum bets lately with Warriors and Broncos forums. If you are in One Eyed Eels you should talk to @Dan and see if we can get something going for Sunday

That team should feel honoured lol

Yes and no. Storm gave the Sharks their first win in 50 years but everyone still feels the same about them as they did before (contempt).

Actually, I travel down the M2, Mona Vale Rd, then Barrenjoey Rd to Newport, Palm Beach, Narrabeen at least once a week to visit my clients so I know the area very well.

Your parole officer doesn’t count as a client.
