Eels Appoint Brad Arthur as Head Coach (Part Deux)

[Avenger]

The Roosters were top shelf today. Over reaction @Avenger he's a good coach.

Like I keep saying, I don't want to sack him, I just think he needs assistance.

 

[Gronk]

Like I'm saying dont be judging him on today. They shut down everything we did and our error count at crucial times was horrific.

I will because I think to improve our ruck speed we need two hookers. Not just Kaysa on his own.

 

[hineyrulz]

Can't read much into today, we had a mare.

I'm pretty sure we're looking for another hooker.

My neighbour told me it's Peats.

 

[Djay]

We need Peats and I pray the rumours are true of him returning.

We miss his line speed in defence.

Josh Reynolds told you?

 

[Avenger]

Josh Reynolds told you?

No.

No.

LOL

His bulldogs teammates? ... doesnt half the team live next door?

Please let me preface this comment by saying I like, respect, and admire Arthur.

But the part in bold has been the story all season long; 10 rounds in, and the same shit keeps happening.

It's almost as though the team doesn't actually train.

I know we're a long way off bring a top 4 side (even a top 8 side, tbh), but we haven't improved on last year, imo.

Last year, with nothing to play for but pride, we performed better.

I'm frustrated.

But I think the real weakness we have is our front row - we need a player in the style of a JWH, imo.

Nathan Brown is a gun, but is too small.

Mannah tries hard, but again - too small.

Matagi is wide, but short.

We need a tall, heavy prop who can play big minutes, and control the ruck.

I'd make a play for James Graham, tbh.

Two live next door in a duplex. Both Gentlemen of the highest order. Another former trainer of ours is also a neighbour. Within walking distance is Josh Morris and Andrew Bobcat Ryan. f**king doggies everywhere. All good blokes though.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

No.

Damian Keogh?

James Graham would be a priority signing for me.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Like anyone, James Graham would only be a good signing at the right price.

 

[strider]

I also have a fear graham might fall apart quicker than the norm at the end of his career ... the guy throws himself into it like theres no tomorrow ... things might catch up with him at some point

 

[Avenger]

I'd give him $800k.

True.

I'd say we would be relatively desperate, though - Kane Evans is a good start, but we need more big boppers, I think, to help us in the ruck.

Thus we would be willing to pay big dollars for him.

Hypothetically, of course.

I've heard it's Lichaa.

He would be good.
