Round 14 - Eels vs Broncos

I have supported this team since day 1 and cannot think of another squad where I can literally count on 1 hand the players id care about signing elsewhere.
 
We are so farkin predictable coming out of our end, 1 out hitups all the way, we aren't even trying to trouble them.

It's been that way all season, the halves should be looking to spread the ball out (or at least give the illusion of spreading it out) to spread the defense out, but they mostly don't.
 
I would rather lose this game 50-20 than 30-0 so can we please try something in the second half. Try and attack before the 5th tackle. Support the ball runner. Abruptly shrieking to distract and confuse the Eels. Just something. I stopped giving a shit about getting the basics right 16 points ago.
 
Seibold needs to make some signings. We don't even need superstars, we just need some more experience and some hardened players. Just the kind of players that don't drop their head and are able to inspire the players around them.

I think we're working towards that, but unfortunately it's going to take time.

Exactly. Throwing all these young guys into the side and expecting consistency and form from them over a season is just stupidity. We need blokes like Moose, huge mistake letting him go for me. TPJ is an absolute fraud looking at him this year. I wouldnt pay him any more than 300k a year. We need blokes like David Stagg or Jack Reed who turn up every week. Like i said before, the three blokes we let go to the Cows would improve this team and offer us more toughness and stability than a lot of the current blokes.

he has been that way as long as i can remember ... not just this year
 
I dont blame the younger guys one bit, they are being thrown to the wolves by some shocking coaching imo.

So it’s not the young guys fault they can’t catch or hold the ball? It’s not their fault they can’t kick the ball accurately or consistently? It’s not their fault they can’t play with enthusiasm and actually give a **** about their own performance?

Sorry, there’s an awful lot of ‘it’s not my fault’ about our club. For once I’d like to see SOMEONE say, it was my fault. I played like arse.

But we all know that everything will be downplayed, just a couple of things need changing, blah, blah fucking, blah.

Meanwhile nothing ACTUALLY changes.
 
We won't be winning the comp next year either. These guys need seasons of development, and you need experienced players to be competitive.

Probably not, but if we sign a class fb we’ll be a shot at least. Depends how Dearden develops.

If Macca and Boyd are starting next year we’ll miss the eight easily.
