Eels in the media

[84 Baby]

This is your first good year for ages. Storm Roosters have been on top for ever. You guys have not yet earned the right to lecture other clubs on how to do things.

I look forward to Chinry channeling #CAM666 and addressing Souffs post game after they’ve smugged them out of the comp to tell the 2014 premiers to keep them chins up and their good little players

Actually this is a pretty fair assessment by Gus:


basically we need to grind better, BA is envolving as a coach (doesn’t necessarily need replacing or advice, he is getting better), we need an honest apraisal to see what gets us “into trouble” in big games.

How would a loser like Pearce help? Roosters got rid of him so they could win a comp.

But they won a comp with him, what are you talking about ?

 

[Gary Gutful]

He’d be an improvement over Moses.

He was the worst half on the field that night by a country mile, DCE got the Clive Churchill in a losing side. They were losing that game before SBW’s second stint. That was 8 seasons ago as well by the way. He’s a washed up joke.

 

[84 Baby]

Piss back in the Sydney spotlight would be a time bomb.
He’s Johns 2.0 with a quarter of the talent

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Michael Morgan wouId be better, wish Green didn’t get sacked ...

 

[Avenger]

He’d be an improvement over Moses.

I think the biggest problem with Moses is that he is not a 7 or at least not an organising half that should call the shots. He is a running 5/8th. However if we told him this and gave anyone else the responsibility of calling the shots I don’t think his ego would take it which is one reason why he didn’t gel with Norman who is another ego maniac however much more lazy but probably more naturally talented.

Michael Morgan from the Cowboys needs a change of scenery. I’d swap him for Moses.

 

[lingard]

It could work. A fullback needs stamina and the WHO is all over the place. I'll let myself out.

Don't slam the door.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If I may be so bold, and since everyone else is doing it, I'll add my advice in a mere four words:

Develop your own players.

It hasn't exactly worked out well for your club, 2020 flash in the pan notwithstanding.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

As many as possible. The more you develop the more on-field success you'll have in the long term.

Where's the proof of this?

 

[Gary Gutful]

That’s a good call.

 

[Gary Gutful]

The Storm and the Roosters are renowned for their junior development.

Was that 2012, I must have forgotten

More to the point, if you take Chelsea teams like Storm and Roosters out of the equation, how do the Eels and Arthur compare in seasons 2017, 18, 19 and 20 ? Brackets indicate what week of finals they exited. P indicates Premiers.

I'll leave it to you to pass judgement, however I'm leaning to pretty good but not excellent. Clearly we can do better and our aim is to mix it with Storm and Roosters every year.

Eels 4th(1), 16th, 5th(2), 3rd(2)
Raiders 10th, 10th, 4th(P), 5th (?)
Panthers 7th(2), 5th(2), 10th, 1st(?)
Bunnies 12th, 3rd(1), 3rd(3), 5th (?)
Sharks 5th(1), 4th(1), 7th(1), 8th(1)
Sea Eagles 6th(1), 15th, 6th(2), 13th
Cowboys 8th(4), 13th, 14th, 14th
Broncos 3rd(3), 6th(2), 8th(1), 16th
Dragons 9th, 7th(2), 15th, 12th

3/6 games were against the storm. The other 3 games were against teams below us, where we should of won. We’ve capitulated in all but two games, and only won the one.

Using injuries as an excuse doesn’t cut it with me or many here. Nor will it cut it with BA. You think he told his team it’s ok to lose on Saturday night because of injuries?


The media aren’t fools they’ve caught on to what Gus has been saying for a while. To what many here have been saying for a while. The team lacks killer instinct especially come semi final footy. If BA can’t motivate them enough to be up for the challenge, then there’s an issue.


You keep banging on about the roosters going out in straight sets. If you haven’t noticed they are back to back premiers. They can’t win it every year, nor will they.


No body is saying BA is a bad coach. Or a shit merkin of a person. But he’s stubborn and set in his ways, and takes him forever to make changes. Or fix things across the team. Basically he’s limited. If it’s an assistant thing, then he should be looking into changes.


We won’t win f%*k all under BA in the current regime.

Post of the month!!
Well written, mate.

All opinion, not too many would have recovered from the shit fight he was dealt initially. There are people who think DA was good for the club.

Anyway, let’s post again when Robinson or Bellamy move to western Sydney. Next thing you and others will suggest Kev Walters or the like .

OK so you're unhappy. So is every Parra fan. So you want to do better. So does every Parra fan.

But generally to win the GF you need a GOAT or be on a once in a generation roll.

From a few posts here it sounds like the HOF is changing a few things, so let's see how that goes.

From my POV our team has come a long way. The gap between our good and bad games are not that far apart. We generally don't lose by a great deal and we go down fighting.

I get that some people are hurting but all I can see is positive moving forward.

You know I respect you and your opinion, but I often wonder what opinions you’d have of BA if you didn’t know him.


We’ve got f all juniors in the team.

We lacked defense up until this year in BA’s entire tenure here.

We’ve looked lost with the ball this season, always reverting back to one out shit and lacking any attacking flair.

we’ve seen this season players continually getting selected in absolutely atrocious form. Remembering in past seasons we’ve seen BA drop fui and mannah, when they weren’t playing too badly. And said players out of form, remained out of form.

we’ve seen BA make absolutely horrendous recruitment decisions, to the point they’ve taken any decision making off his hands

we’ve seen BA absolutely f^*k bench rotations and hideous team selections, week in week out.

BA has gone into this season with only one genuine number 9. A position where most teams attack from, yet BA is happy to have an 80 minute tackling machine. No wonder moses doesn’t pose a threat.

we’ve seen BA make the most outrageous positional changes. Some were stupidly funny.

God help us if DA ever done these things. And you question Anderson’s integrity as a coach.

BA has his shortfalls and it’s about time you think all of the shit BA has done. Unbiasedly
