How on earth did we end up here. Our roster is garbage. How did this happen?

You think that the solution to our problems is simply enthusiasm ?You think enthusiasm = fundamentals?
No.I'm guessing you picked up plenty of Most Improved awards as a kid.

Sticky said:We have to be patient. This is a huge, huge job.

After overseeing his first full-blown trial for Parramatta, Ricky Stuart described himself as a "patient coach". And it appears that Eels fans will also have to bide their time, with Stuart predicting it will take at least 10 weeks before we can truly gauge how his team is travelling.

The same Eels fans who reckon we have the worst squad in the comp? The same merkins who said last year's squad should have been top eight certainties?
Footy fans have got no idea. If we were smarter we'd do something more productive with our time.
No, I think the solution to our problems is being patient with our youngsters, and allowing our spine to form some combinations.
Eleven members of the squad made their debuts in the past two seasons. Our biggest issue is inexperience. Guess how that is solved.
As far as combinations go, do you know how many times Hayne-Kelly-Sandow-Keating have played together? Once. Hayne-Roberts-Sandow-Keating have only played together seven times.
Enthusiasm is something that can be switched on or off, and no team is ever always on.
Who said that ? What are their names ?The same Eels fans who reckon we have the worst squad in the comp? The same merkins who said last year's squad should have been top eight certainties?
Patience. I guess we have no choice now because of the mess that SK left us in.
Good teams just buy decent players. Wow that must have taken them ages to work that out.
Who said that ? What are their names ?
Yeah, recent premiers Melbourne, Manly and St George are all well known for shelling out big money on established first graders.
How did Cronulla dig themselves out of a pickle, genius ? Would you prefer their squad going in to 2013 or ours ?
Cronulla haven't done anything yet brother.
