    Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

    Granted, but what is the cost to the club of another poor season and constant media speculation?

    Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

    I was thinking whether we should get Bernie back to consult, but I think he is too close to BA and others to be objective.

    Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

    If we get flogged by Manly the club should make it clear internally that this is BAs last year. Then begin the search for a new coach. It doesn't have to be made public. Just how Bennett likes it. The board should also be reviewing the whole football operation now. Find out why we are so far...

    Rumours and Stuff

    I agree that BAs tactics have not evolved over 11 seasons. I agree he is stale, and we need a change. Even if by some miracle we get the season back on track, it is time for a new voice. Especially when there is a coach like Bennett available. You don't keep a coach for over 10 years unless...

    Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

    If we don't pursue Bennett we are kidding. I hope the board are smart enough to see this.

    We are such a failure

    You can't argue with anything Avenger wrote. I have followed the Eels since 1975. Apart from the golden 80's where we had an unbelievable mix of experience, talent and excellent coaching, we have a club that doesn't have a winning mentality. Close enough has always been good enough, we have...

    Rumours and Stuff

    We have no idea how to properly develop young talent, that much is obvious.

    Darwin

    How come other teams can play well in Darwin but we can't? Because we are shit!

    Rd7 2024: 8pm Eels v Dolphins GAME DAY THREAD @ Tio Stadium Darwin April 19th

    Disgusting. Disgraceful. Spoon worthy performance. Forget the top eight, can we avoid the spoon? Sack the entire coaching staff, swap some players and start the rebuild for next year. It is imperative we appoint a new coach asap so he can have input into the team.

    You think 40 tackles per game will extend Guthos career?

    The Morgan Harper appreciation thread

    I don't think he would have scored if he caught the pass late in the game, there were plenty of Cowboys there to defend.

    The Morgan Harper appreciation thread

    Thing is the lack of pace. He tries hard, but his worst play last night was when he rushed up out of the line and they ended up scoring. You can see he does put in effort though.

    Rd6 2024: 530pm Eels v Cowboys GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank Stadium Apr 13th

    I think we used up our seasons worth of luck last night. How we weren't down by a couple of tries at half time is beyond me. Thankfully we showed enough to win. Gutho looks busted to me. He has padding around his side which I think is hampering him. As we all know, we don't have anyone to...

    Rumours and Stuff

    I am a bit concerned at the length of the contract. 4 Years?! What happens if we do sack BA and the new coach doesn't want him? Remember his current coach didn't think he was in the top 20 centres last season, and we are paying good money for 4 years! Massive risk IMO. The way we play (even...

    Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

    I know we won't, but stranger things have happened. There was a period in 2022 where we played like this, but we got out of it. I am just sick of the way we play and the lack of detail in our game.

    Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

    I know Delboy harps on about not signing anyone of note. But it is true. I mean which established first grader have we signed since Jennings and Ferguson? Our 30 man squad is probably the least balanced in the comp. 17, maybe 18 first graders and that is it. So by those metrics MON and the...

    Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

    I don't care if we make the GF this year, BA and the entire coaching staff need replacing. Oh and a new HOF too. We need proven performers.

    Rd5 2024: 615pm Eels v Raiders GAME DAY THREAD @ GIO Stadium April 7th

    Season over for mine. No attack, crap defence, too slow, no depth. We should lock in a new coach asap (preferably Bennett), start looking at some player swaps (Paulo, Matto, Lane, Sivo, Offa) and get some quality backs and a hooker. We cannot keep going like this.

    Injury Updates

    Can't we medically retire Haze? I mean, blind Freddy can see he can't run at pace any more.
