Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

[84 Baby]

Alright Fess up. Which one of the posters here is Michael Chammas. He was talking about how the Tigers should get Brad Arthur as their new coach because he’ll be gone if the Eels don’t win a premiership and that things will probably go pear shaped for him because our window is closing.

That sounds like someone trying to pretend they’re NOT Michael Chammas!

Why is House wearing a silly wig?!?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

He caught one of those freakishly rare diseases of someone he was treating.

Lupus?

The closing premiership window is crap I reckon,…..we are losing 2 top 17 forwards and a Hooker out of form….if losing them means our window is closed for 2023, it was never opened……..

Some truth to this. I think have now established ourselves as a consistently strong team and will continue to play finals in coming years.

Will BA be remembered more like Terry Fearnley or Brian Smith ? Unless he at least gets us to the GF he could be more like Michael Hagan.

You are the most intelligent man on this forum so chances are there is some truth to this

Yeah a hooker out of form. And before he signed with the dogs he was better then grant.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Form is a temporary thing. He'll get it back later in the season.

 

[Eelctrifying]

When we lose to the likes of Tigers and Dogs I want him gone asap. When we win, I feel like he may have what it takes. RL is a hell of a pendulum.

He has got us into being a top 8 side which you can't say for the Tigers and their revolving door of coaches.

If we get's us top 4 this year even if we bow out of the finals I'd still like to think he may have what it takes. A GF appearance or a win and he's hopefully worked out why we are so inconsistent and we stays on simply for that for accomplishment.

It's just the WLWLWL that's really playing on us. Maybe 1 or 2 more quality players will get us into that winning streak of Panthers/Storm. The bigger issue is if he's gone, who do you replace him with....

Form is a temporary thing. He'll get it back

when his contract is due for renewal.

So about 2026 at the Dogs???

He was bloody great versus The Chooks.

You might be right. But I think the premiership window is a real thing, that can shrink and enlarge from year to year. Perhaps it is best thought of as a premiership sphincter?

Strong wins back to back V The Chooks and Souths will silence a few knockers for a while if achieved. Souths are definitely due. Latrell back and his best, non anthem singing mate, under extreme pressure, should see the "Fu*king Rabbits" up for this one.
Will we fold like a cheap suit?
Has BA, finally admitting he has a role to play to get the boys firing consistently, made any difference?
I cant wait.
Expectation 100%.
Confidence level 33%.
Lets go boys.
See ya Saturday night kiddies.

Has BA worked out how to stop Souths backline movements? We always struggle against teams who move the ball fast.

I wasn't that wrapped with the win over the chooks. Missing Keary,Radley,JWH. We where at home off a big loss and every magic ball stuck. A win this week will bring me a lot more confidence in the side.

I dont necessarily disagree with you but what I did like was the intent of our Eels to play some footy. We had a few direction changes which was planned and we were very tough. I also liked our second half where we defended well and played some good percentage footy. The Chooks really aimed up in the second half and we matched them.
I also liked BA taking ownership after the game re moving forward.
One swallow does not a summer make and as Eels fans its always a week to week proposition. This coming game is huge for BA.
I cant wait.
