Welcome aboard mate, we don't judge. Unless you are wearing an Eels jersey or you are involved with the club in any way shape or form. Then you are dead f**king meat!!!
It's very exciting.

f**king genius you are, the head of footballing job is your next year if you want it........
Block play after block play, then that slow as shit play out the back that hasn't worked since Watmough broke down for good.
Hayne and Evans both got injured during the round three game, meaning they have played two full games this year, including the Brookvale game where we had no ball. So their only game where we had an even share of possession was in Penrith, where we lost on goals against the team currently sitting second, with the third best points differential.
Given we are a team without TPAs, we have been built for hard work across the board. To me that says we are a defensive team.
So you reckon Arthur should blame injuries rather than the things we can fix? When I'm head of football you can be our media guy.
He never played wing. He started off the bench for the Storm where he would come into the halves with Scott Hill moving to the forwards. Kicking was always one of Cronk's strengths. It would've been the reason they turned him into a half in the first place, despite his lack of playmaking skill.
I would take the job on but Max told me the job comes without pay. The club are broke and curs can't afford it.
I think his point is that none of us know what French's kicking game is or could be like. He seems like a quick thinker to me which is important in the halves.
Anyone will look better in the middle when he gets to make heaps of runs late in the count. Most players in the middle do more tackling, with most of the runs given to the better attackers.
What mistake do you think they made? And now you have the benefit of hindsight, how would they have done better?
Except our left winger last night was Bevan French, who only made three runs. Does that sound to you like we're playing as if Radradra is still there?
You're saying Ma'u looks better because he's getting to make the late runs in the middle now (or previous games anyway) compared to what he looked like on the edge? Then why did none of our middle forwards make the same kinds of runs previously? Brown is obviously good but he never did the same. His runs were more accumulation.
I've seen French kick from fullback and he is shit. Halves need to be able to kick and defend in the line, at a minimum. Neither of those are things suit Bevan French.
How do you know?
Was he supposed to be the kicker or were they botched plays? I've barely noticed him kick. As for defending, we know plenty of halves are shit. And a lot of it depends on their support. Maloney, our likely SOO half, is shit.
Because Ma'u is a better runner than Brown, which is one reason he is normally an 80 minute edge forward. We have also been struggling to get the ball to our edges this year, which is one of the reasons Ma'u has been less effective.
Having a wrestling and defensive coach before round 6, not signing some AFL nuffy that worried more about running styles than collisions and wrestling. finally signing a dummy half that isn't just reserve grade standard. Strengthening our pack with actual first grade footballers, not signing reserve grade plodders to 3 year deals. -playing a style of football that isn't the worst and most boring in the league. dropping under performing players who couldn't give a shit. Not being capable of finding young talent and bringing them through the grades.
