Eels Appoint Brad Arthur as Head Coach

[Shakamaker]

LOL Shakamaker only won like 1 Interdominion from about 4 attempts

Christian Cullen and Courage Under Fire won no Inters from several attempts.

You reminded me, Christan Cullen broke down during 2000 series and was retired.

Let me just add that Inter Dominion winners need to be respected. They are so hard to win. I know plenty about harness racing

Christian Cullen held the mantle as the biggest myth to come out of New Zealand for a long time until Robbie Deans came along. In that race I was talking about he drew 1, walked and couldn't beat your name sake who sat outside him. Breeny's was on the rails behind him all the way , got out onto Shaka's rump down the back and nailed him in the last 50. Great memories.

On topic again. I thought arth'rus was a done deal. I know it hasn't officially been announced yet but is this still up in the air?

Shit has gone downhill since pale face adios.

When I was four or so my old man took me to the Harold PArk for the Miracle Mile. Think Paleface lost Hondo Grattan.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Chistian Cullen only had like 5 starts in Oz thrashing Our Sir Vancelot in the Miracle Mile(Shakamaker not even half as good as Our Sir Vancelot),he also produced one of the greatest efforts ever in the Hunter Cup coming off a 800 billion Handicap



Christian Cullen is 100 lengths better than Shakaplod

Must add that Paul Kent on NRL360 was a bit of a knob last night. I am normally impressed with his position on most things but when asked about Parra coaching position he said (paraphrasing)..

"They can't seem to make up their minds at the Eels, one day they want Brian Smith as a coaching director another they want Peter Sharp and now it's Tim Sheens. It just shows what sort of a basket case they are over there."

Which I thought was unfair as we are entitled to interview and take as much time as it takes to make (hopefully) the right decision. If it was Storm or the Roosters (or even St George who seem to be as uncertain as us about coaching direction) they would be immune from this sort of criticism.

Agree entirely with this. Kent has shown himself to be a plonker recently with the way he has been talking about the eels since his mate Stuart has left.

sometimes kent is speaking his own mind and sometimes you can tell he is singing from the telegraph songsheet

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

The majority of the time, i think Kent is a farkwit.

Can we petition Twizzle to have merkin removed as a censoring phrase (it has become an everyday catch-all term) and replace it with Paul Kent(s)?

It's been used on and off since Club Buggery had the Nissan Cedrics as back up singers (including 'Muff Merkin')

I don't watch chariot races bar when the ancient olympics come around, but, where the funk do I know the name Christian Cullen from?

Never heard of him. I can't get Dan Christian or Dan Cullen out of my head though. Unfortunately, no maidens.

And other times you can see him laying the foundations for his good mate ricky to pull a swifty.
