Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

[Gary Gutful]

You need time to heal.

This the sort of haircut that I imagine you have.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Lol you do know you need to get past week 2 to hate a chance to win a GF?? That’s two more weeks after Bea gets us too.

Yeah, I'm sure you'd be absolutely f**king cheering if we playing this week and got up 18-2 with 11 to go and then lost. You'd be on here telling everyone how proud you were of the boys

Hahahaa

f**k you made laugh.

 

[Avenger]

I’m thinking of changing my vote. How many times would that be MJC?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well isn’t thats what meant to happen at the development club??? I mean look at us we have the best back up half money could buy at our club right at this moment. So exciting!!

One of our starting halves is only two years older than the backup you're f**ken whinging about.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We lost that game by not having a genuine 9 available. Whos fault was that?

Would've been better if Arthur's chose to injure all our players at some other position ffs

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Playing Lussick in that final throw away game against Penrith and getting injured? Keeping Ray Stone on at 9 making f**k up after f**k up instead of Will Smith when we were chasing points? I'm not sure whose decisions they were...

Captain f**ken hindsight

 

[Noise]

Captain f**ken hindsight

Hindsight? Some foresight would be nice.

I wasn’t the only one calling for Smith instead of Stone with 10 - 15 to go in the game.

GMOF was appointed 1 November, 2018 to help out BA. As a club, how are we looking now ?

Following an extensive review of the football department, the Eels found key areas were under-resourced and their junior pathways needed a more thorough approach.

“It is essential that we have a strong and experienced leader who will be at the forefront of developing and driving our football strategy so that we can have a first class, high performance football department, with the goal of delivering sustainable success for our members and fans,” Parramatta chief executive Bernie Gurr said.
Parramatta coach Brad Arthur has been given a shot at redemption and his position remains solid in the short-term, receiving extra support from O'Neill's appointment.

The new general manager of football will ensure Arthur has the necessary resources to lead the club back to finals football, playing a key role in roster management.

Club Statement: Eels appoint General Manager of Football

The Parramatta Eels have today announced the appointment of Mark O’Neill as General Manager of Football.

Or it could be 11 years with 1 spoon, and 7 top 8 finishes.
Hell, we might even make a grand final and jag one in the next 3 years.
Never say never mate.

Are the eight years we've had under Arthur's really any worse than the eight years before him?

	8 years pre-Arthur's	8 years with Arthur's
Premierships	0	0
Grand final losses	1
Preliminary final exits	1
Week 2 exits		4
Week 1 exits	1
Minor premierships
9th-15th	3	3
Wooden spoons	2	1

The team that Smith built went further in the finals, as you'd expect from their superior big game experience, but our side has finally built up to that big game type team. There was a merkinhair between us and Penrith, and they are now in a grand final.

Year	Finals+Origin
2007	178
2009	150
2021	121

Hopefully we get a few players picked in Origin next year, because the experience is extremely valuable.

Definitely. Ffs.

 

[eels_fan]

Still doesn’t change the fact that old mate from the post before is making up stats.

Making up stats? I made an error. Souths lost 3 in a row but Bennett was not coaching the first.

I’m sure you’ve never ever made a mistake when recalling something from memory….

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Or playing Reed with a dodgy shoulder when we were down by 30 with 10 to go……….

This is after he took him off with 15 to go with the game on the line against Canberra to keep his outclassed son on the field. Coaching master genius.

Cleary played Cleary with the same doggy shoulder in a nothing game. That was just luck…..

That was dumb as well, as usual the footballing gods didn’t favour us.

 

[The Predictor]

JUST f**kEN SHUT UP FFS!

Why? because I have an opinion that differs to your s and gutless, get farked the pair off you, until next time!!

 

[Joshuatheeel]

That was dumb as well, as usual the footballing gods didn’t favour us.

So we agree (yeah we can argue all day about BA’s ability), there is also an element of luck involved in the finals……

Of course there is luck. But after 8 years there is a bit of a trend appearing………….

It's not hindsight mate. I'm sure I wasn't the only one screaming at the TV with 15 mins to go, for bushy to take Stone off for Will smith

Bushy and his dopey side kick sit there ball watching and forget to make interchanges.

Lol. Just saw this after I posted my post

That's because you don't have all the information.
