None of the options are perfect. I'm becoming more confident that Sharp will pick the right candidate, even if not the best candidate.

He very well might. I, too, like the things he's been saying. What troubles me is hearing that Sharpe wants Taylor; Fitzgerald wants Anderson; Spagnolo wants Henry; etc, etc. And, given the rumours that Anderson (for example) might have been sacked solely because he was appointed by a previous board, it doesn't give much confidence that these people could agree on which coach to sign, does it?

Taylor is certainly a girl's first name. For the record, I like the Jason Taylor idea. I actually wanted Stuart to stay, but having had time to think about it, I'm glad his gone. I'm not sure that I like he's attitude. F**k he's eyes!

Taylor is definitely a girls Christian name. Particularly in the western suburbs of Sydney.

Thats why it should never be a first name. .

The obvious solution is to time-share the coaching role (and with all communication b/w coaches banned...unless done through 2GB or Slothfield). Taylor takes first 20 minutes, Anderson second 20 minutes, Kearney the half-time address, Henry the next 20 minutes, and Terry Fearnley brings home the bacon. Future allocations of game time could be adjusted according to the relative control that each faction holds over the board, and which directors can be arsed turning up for board meetings.

There's a guy in the NFL whose (sorry who is) first name is D'Brickashaw. He was named after a character in the Thorn Birds. But then again, in that sport he is/was up against blokes called Plaxico, DeMontrovius etc

Since the poll so far overwhelmingly points to JT as the preferred coach, Rick Stone is a shoe-in.

I actually think it means they will sign Cameron Smith, they'll say he is the brains behind the Storm and because they are so successful he will be able to implement that structure with us, the real innovation though will be that they are going to allow him to still play for the Storm and prepare video sessions for the Eels in his spare time......

I wouldn't rule out anything with the morons who run our club!
