Eels Appoint Brad Arthur as Head Coach

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

I like how people bring up his 2 out of 6 game first grade record like it has any relevance. If anything it's a positive given the team and situation he had to work with

Don't bring logic into it mate. You'll go insane with this lot.

I just voted in the poll

I asked you to do add him weeks ago, smartarse. :lol::lol:

 

[lingard]

s**t, s**t, s**t. Dammit. I can never say that word.

I'm happy to move on and support the 2nd best candidate that the board has appointed. Best wishes Brad Arthur. Wish you all the best of success.

The only consolation is Daniel Anderson coming back in. A senior person with a bit of history with Jarryd Hayne. Hopefully Daniel's prescense can keep Jarryd in order. Zero tolerance for bad behaviour, just like Wayne Bennett

The proof is there. he won 2 from 6

are you taking the piss?

They also admitted they couldnt come to terms with taylor so they went the second option.

it doesn't make him the second choice

Taylor was available and wanted the job. we said no to him

Are you denying him being a assistant at melbourne when they cheated means a great deal. Same with manly.

so you're saying Bellamy, Hasler and Toovey are shit coaches

He had his shot at standing on his own with the eels And him & kearney made us a laughing stock.

Kearney was the head coach so don't try and blame Arthur for his mistakes

Is there anyway a mod can change my vote for me? I feel sorry for Parish having no votes.

 

[Twizzle]

not once you have voted

Hmmm, very interesting that Taylor reportedly (Ch 9) didn't like the thought of working with Anderson.

Sharp got his man at the end, but at what price given all the crap played out in the media?

The DA appointment if true will be very interesting. What role will he have re: Arthur?

Well picked gents!

Well played Barry.

Best of luck Brad.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Well played Barry.

We 4 are the champions ME and every one else can get f**ked (for a little while anyway).

 

[strider]

I may be reading into this, but I get the impression we were in deep negotiation with Jason Taylor :-k

Is it too late to change my vote?

Edit: actually I'm still holding out for Neil Henry after a board backflip.

 

[Avenger]

Do you think that Taylor being 65kg wringing wet and having shoulders like a paddle pop stick went against him?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Shoulders like a black snake.

It's pretty impressive how he played so much first grade despite being so weak and slow. Credit where it's due.

Depends what sort of paddle pop I guess. A Bubble O Bill would make him look quite stupid.

Shoulders like a paddle pop stick, nose like a blobfish.
