Rumours and Stuff

I dont think you can draw a line in the sand at 6, 7 or 8 wins. Player unity or lack of and playing structure, playing for the coach will be relevant. 7 wins and 3 50 point losses could mean he's gone. 6wins and 4 close losses could mean he may stay for the rest of the season.

I dont think its as cut and dry as merely nominating wins/losses.


Imahine we lost 8 games by less then 4 points each time.

I'd swap Johnson for Norman but I don't know if he could play with Moses. Same type of player and plays on the right.

If Johnson goes to the Sharks and we release Moses or Norman to the Warriors, I'd go after Chad Townsend.

I wouldnt swap any of our 4 halfs for Johnson. We need leaders and he aint one of those. I reckon it would be deja vu all over again.

We need to groom Brown and decide if Salmon is a half. If so we roll with that in 2020. We would have 4 cheap spine players so could build a weapon of a pack and backline and keep fingers crossed the young spine players shine. Id be excited with that option.

Otherwise hope Norman or Moses comes back to form and sign one of them.

Its been widely reported that BA has 10 matches to prove himself. Most 'experts' thought that 26 points would be the minimum points to make the finals but actually 32 points was the cut off point in 2018. So with that in mind BA will have to win 65% of his games or 15-16 games plus the 1 bye. So for the first 10 games 7 wins would be my pass mark.
My question is what would you think will be his pass mark?
Why should making the finals be the pass mark? We’re the Parramatta f**king Eels. We always miss the finals, regardless of the coach. When will we realise that sacking coaches is just shuffling deck chairs on any Malaysian Airlines flight?

Because it provides false hope. Please dont take that from us Poo.

If I were BA I'd invite the lot of you to a training session followed by a tour of the WSS and a meet and greet with Hayne at a BBQ where we can all talk tactics. LU bandwidth would be ever so grateful.
