2020 Parramatta Eels Thread......Lets not get carried away.

To be fair it was Hadley who is reporting BA has lost the room. He seems one of the better coaches outside the 8.

Crazy stuff....deadset they let him go and it will be another 4 years of rebuilding

No way has BA lost the room, and if he has,the room can fuck right off, the lot of them. There is not a player on our roster I'd keep over Arthur.

I like the look of this weeks side a little more, it am surprised to see Evans starting. Perhaps Arthur is thinking, "Right, he hasn't hit the heights I was expecting and it's time for him to step up so I'll give him another crack starting and if he doesn't aim up, he can have a spell at Wenty.

Good to see Taka back in the centres and Hayne back to the wing, will be interesting to see what sort of work Hayne does compared to French.

54-0 v Manly last time we played. How far have we come since that demolition we will find out this weekend.

I really think we can win this game and kick start our season of spoon avoidance.

We are fucking wearing blue and gold every time Moses runs out. We didn't lose him champ, we took the offer off the table and you were the only chumps willing to sign him. As for Woods and Tedesco, the money it has freed up and what we have done with it outweighs what we lost. Yes Teddy is a bummer and would have preferred him, but it's provided a more balanced team which is what was needed.

Loosing Woods and Moses was never going to be that big an issue, both easily replaceable. Teddy might have been tricker but certainly hasn't seemed to hurt too much at this stage. The Tigers Big 4 was never a big 4, they just happened to be the best prospects on an otherwise pretty shitty list, cleaning out and letting Cleary play MoneyBall was a very good idea. Brooks has suprised this year, so that's a good thing, but talk of him as a NSW possibility is a joke, as it was with Moses after half a dozen good games.

Losing ted has certainly hurt their attack. Their defence has improved heaps this year, I wonder if losing moses has affected that?
Woods is possibly the most over rated forward in the history of the game IMO.
Moses is one of the most entitled young punces I have ever seen as well, but no doubting he does have talent and can be classy when everything is working well tho.

Its funny, after 7 or so rounds we still have no idea who either the NSW 6 or 7 will be (Maloney will be one of them).

Fergo has to be a certainty for one wing with the way he has been playing this year, as much as I dislike the guy (cool ryno)

Parra is making way for Paulo's return, flicking 10 players no longer required, but nice to see they still want the Hayne Pain

Who is to say Hayne will stay beyond this year? Has he signed for next year? If he does, on current form, it won't be on morse than he is currently on, and he is finally back on. The wing where he should be.

Happy with the 88 point turnaround. Still a looooong way to make the 8.

Wonder if the fans still want Arthur sacked lol

They played well today, they got manly at a good time as well

It’s amazing their best performance came when they named almost the exact line-up I posted after week 1 or 2. It only took 7 weeks

I said the other week that a player shouldn't be expected t play injured. But at the same time you're expected to dig deep for your team mates. Surely Hayne is just taking the piss now.

fuck he was walking around doing not a lot when he was on

Mannah rockets into Origin contention!

People having a crack at Hayne for getting injured. Fair enough.

no he doesnt

That was tongue in cheek from me, but seriously, he was exceptional. It was the Form he displayed when he was chosen for Origin and produced a win in his first effort as a starter.

If he plays like that the next 5/6 weeks, the Eels will be back in the contest.

We talking about Mannah or that other spring chicken Hayne?

He of the speedy play the ball of course!

Was happy with the way our halves performed given some possession and discipline and dominance by our forwards. Really liked Moses big shot on JTurbo that set the tone.

We are going bad this year, but deadset, look at that Cowboys lineup and tell me they aren't the biggest under achievers this season so far.
