Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

[Joshuatheeel]

Well Holbrook is no longer looking like a super rookie coach ........

I know you’re just mentioning this to stick it up the arses of those who wanted to sack BA to sign him (and fair enough)...but he has done reasonably well in his short time there considering the utter rabble they were when he took over. He’s turned them from a nothing club to a probable mid table team this year. A few more good signings and in a couple of years they could be towards the top of the table. Of course there’s a chance he won’t as well, but I’m not going to judge his NRL coaching career just yet.

Similar to Arthur's early career at the Eels. I think they're both good coaches, but Arthur was made a scapegoat (and probably will be again in the future) while Holbrook certainly will.

Yeah. Let's judge Holbrook in his 9th season. Tino is a huge loss for them. I was very disappointed with Mr Kick Happy last night. A bit of a Will Smith performance from him. Their D was gash but I love their exuberance in attack. Don't dare take them lightly. Not the guaranteed 2 points they once were.

Besides Brimson the Tits spine is garbage, Tino had been their player so he's a big out. The defence has to be worrying for Holbrook they were exposed on the edges far too easily.

Their defence is shit because Hollbrook doesn't have a f**ken clue. Starting to think that hair is just a f**ken toupee.

You could be right, if he was Eels coach I would be leading the sack Baldbrook brigade!!!!

They scored their first 18 points by being kick happy .... other than those they were puss

Very promising.

Certainly not via Fafitas kicks.

They were exposed through the middle as well. Their line in D was just constantly staggered and full of f**king holes. That's blokes tryin' to solve problems by themselves and playing hero.

True ... as a kicker he makes an excellent battering ram

The squad is full of guys who love to play footy. But they need guys who like to do the dirty tough work. That is their biggest flaw.

We need to "chase the collision".
We need to "complete our sets".
We need to "earn the right to play some footy".
We need to "compete on every play".
BA was talking about sharing the load amongst his forwards and I totally agree and about time but what about Rheed? Is Rheed a forward? He is more important than any other forward you want to charge into the ruck without now even consider an offload. Let's take some of those 60 tackles each week off Rheed.

By putting him on the wing?

He only made 48 tackles in 80 minutes yesterday. That's not a high work rate. It helps when we control possession.

BA must of taken Bennett’s criticism of the eels after the semi final loss on board, if he’s talking about sharing the load
