Sure....I'm not suggesting the we should all be doubting Thomases...it's just the f**king level of certainty in extreme opinions that makes me wince. I, for one, reckon there's a pretty good chance that RS is a below-par coach...and said so on a number of occasions...I'm just willing to concede that I could be completely wrong.

Fair enough. Agree that there is a difference between voicing an opinion and stating something as if it is fact.

There is no doubt it has stuck but imo he is one that deserves a second chance.....

Agreed, he prob does deserve a second chance but is it worth giving him a second chance if it effects hoppa and/or future recruitment?

Oh, another 'end of days' comment re; Taylor and how his appointment will cost is hoppa, peats and whoever else.

Seriously mate we get it - you think Taylor is shit and his appointment will cost us big time. It just that I'm kinda getting sick of hearing the same crap from you.

I have no idea if you're ' in the know' or talking absolute shit but you've made your point numerous times, we get it. Maybe it's time to move on, relax a little and see how it all plays out......

Yes if he is the best option. Not sure how he would affect future recruitment.

Regarding hoppa he aren't bigger then the club and if he is going to walk because of Taylor then so be it - we would then have $500k plus to spend (yeah there aren't much left but we can use it to extend contracts if we have to ).

I want the best option regardless of what the players think.

I must say its curious that when news first broke of sticky's defection , JT was the overwhelming popular choice for replacement and brad Arthur was not even mentioned. Suddenly it seems Taylor is damaged goods and Arthur the chosen one.

I don't get it....

Everyone deserves a second chance but no coach gets it from rugby league players.

The only people who would give Taylor a second chance are Eels fans and administrators.

Board meeting on Tuesday

Oh no! I'm starting to dread these board meetings. Nothing good ever seems to come from them.

this will be the board meeting where sharpy is in the papers on monday saying JT is the man for the job and then the other board members will go, "oh sorry we all actually wanted Brad, did you misunderstand?"

:crazy:

I can see both sides of the argument.......I'm not sure what's right. I would personally go with Taylor but if I were the club I would be trying to find out the reason, if any that Hoppa allegedly doesn't want Taylor

Most league players are simple. I hear Parra players who lost to those cheats defend them. If it were me I would be pissed and the world would know it!

I'm not sure their deep enough to hold a grudge against a coach who has never coached them!

If Hoppa is the kind of guy to walk because he's only willing to be coached by people he personally approves of then I don't think he's the kind of guy we want at the club. I thought one reason we signed him was because of his leadership and maturity for such a young player.

Me too.

Being white anglo from the Hills, I'd be happy to have a few Mediterranean Descendants on board with me, as well as a pou pou, and maybe some old fart from Hay. I draw the line at bra boys though and freaks from Bowral, so that wipes out Maroubra and Casper.

Suity

Great talent is associated with the word freak and that is what our club desperately needs so I suggest that Maroubra Eel be Chairman and I'll be the Mediterranean Descendant CEO and together we'll put our club back on top within 24 months. ;-)
