Eels Appoint Brad Arthur as Head Coach (Part Deux)

[Chipmunk]

Well it's either going to be a win or five straight losses. For the record Arthur led us to four straight losses in 2014 and we responded with three straight wins, then the next year (2015 if you're still reading) we lost four straight and followed them up with WLWWWLLLWLWLL, so case closed. Arthur has passed this test twice.

But obviously if we lose this weekend it means he can't coach.

So the statistics say that when BA leads us to 4 straight losses in a season, that we don't win enough games in the end to make the Top 8.

Sorry I can't hear you over the sound of Gary's nose in my ear. Or maybe it's Suity's filthy uncircumcised tube in your mouth.

Former premiership-winning coach, Chris Anderson once said that a true test of a coach is how the team responds after suffering 4 straight losses. I'm more interested in somebody with his experience, knowledge and insight rather than a delusional f**kwit like you who twists every conceivable statement for god knows why.

Well, I mean, we responded pretty well against the Warriors, imo - we had some bad luck, and some poor passages of play, but we turned it into a contest for a while.

Same thing against the Raiders.

I truly don't think we are far off turning it all around - and I say this as a person who, initially after our loss, was very upset, and a doomsayer.

Yeah I agree, if only we got that win against the Titans.

Last two weeks our completion rate was above the magical 80%, but it was some poor attacking options which killed us.

So maybe the true test of a coach is how a team responds after five losses? Or could it be six?

And does a long losing streak become something that negatively affects the preparation of the opposition?

Either way the magic number is four, supposively (yeah I said it) according to Chris Anderson. This is Arthur's third four game losing streak so he obviously loves a challenge. He also has never coached a team to five straight. Personally I reckon that's the real true test of a coach and Chris Anderson can get f**ked with his weak four-straight-losses test.

Anyway Chris once told me that the even truer test of a coach was how the team responded after seven straight losses, but he would say that, wouldn't he? In 2002 his Cronulla side followed a seven game losing streak with 11 consecutive wins. He tried to better the feat the next year but they only managed to lose six straight. It was his biggest regret as a coach. That and joining Parramatta a month too late to help Kearney extend our six game losing streak in 2012.

Anyway the point is you're wrong.

Remember the time Ando had a heart attack in the stands? Allegively that is the true test of a coach though I actually think battling a supreme case of neuro-syphilis in the stands would be a much greater test.

Anyway the point is I am right again and you have lost the internet.

Period!!!!

I have no idea how to quote paragraphs but will have a attempt



Ha I stand corrected. You did find 1 hysterical flip flopping fan. I still don't think that represents the majority on here



All of them? No. Some of them don't seem to phased. But I specifically said top 4 which indicates a good side - which as I conceded you found one.



I'll agree to disagree here. Most people on here that make comments on our play/recuitment/etc are pretty consistent with their views whether it is Pou, Hindyrulz, HappyMeel, Chipmunk you or myself (and I mentioned these names because they have been vocal of late and are regular posters)



You insinuated that everyone had lost perspective and were flip flopping with their views. And like I said I'll agree to disagree here because I believe most people on here (whether i agree with them or not) have pretty strong and consistent view points

* f**k yea my paragraph quotes worked. There has to be an easier way than i did it though

How did you do it? I still can't do it. I'd love to have a go.

Well that's just your opinion.

This is prob the shit way but I just quoted the whole piece then copied and pasted the bracket [...] parts at the start and end of each paragraph and wrote in between

How many times do i have to say i am not casper like you and others continually accuse me of, sooner of later i just stop fighting against it and go with it.
And i have no 'existing account' i dont know who you think i am but cant you just accept me for who i am FFS.

Ive stated 100 times im not casper or anybody youve accused me of being, you guys accuse me every day, ive stated many times im not him, now you are accusing me of pretending to be other members, what a load of nonsense.
You are completely paranoid.
Ive not insulted anybody since ive been here or caused any trouble, i just like a joke, stop accusing me of being people im not, i might know casper, i might live right next door to the kingdom but im not Casper for the 100th time.
There comes a point in time i just play along for the joke because no matter how much i deny it you guys just dont let up.

We're not good at coming out of our own end, unlike some posters on here.
