Eels in the media

[strider]

Yes, the story about how senior players supposedly don't want Arthur in but Nrown instead was interesting though. That's what Hooper claimed.

So we now think Hooper is not a bullshit dribbling dipstick? ... i thought we all thought that was tattooed on his forehead?

Your tap isnt very good quality ... it was about pastryless pies. Cant believe no one has already come up with it. Cant go wrong

Thats just mince, you mincer!

 

[strider]

Surely theres no coincidence we are playing Fox's favourite coach Ricky

I think he's a boring thick dickhead but I don't think he'd just make that up. I mean he might have but I think it's probably true, or somewhat true.

He is a dribbler.

I would imagine there would be players who are buddies with Nrown who would think he should be in the team ..... but i would imagine its also possible Hoops enjoys the attention of blowing somethin up into a good story like most journos

No chance he made it up. The senior players at the club want to know why Nathan Brown is not playing when he is on $550K and has experience over a baby giraffe with limited ability. Brown is not a nobody. He played origin last year and is still a better option than Makapillow and it's offensive to even compare him to Jake Arthur as a bench player.

Give me a break. It is obvious that this has been leaked because BA is on the nose and has overstayed his welcome. The selection of his son has been a talking point all week because it's f**king obvious that it is a stupid selection full of nepotism. Our club has in the past been traditionally a mentally piss weak club in big end of season games and has been for a long time.

This shit is not good and I will not be surprised if we get rolled at home tomorrow night and if we are (I hope it does not happen) BA should be thrown out on his ear straight after the press conference.

Its been a talking point all week cos the merkins drumming it up are Rickys besties .... no surprise if one of em would put some extra spin on it

Hadley, Kent, Anasta, Mark Carroll and Elias are all his besties? Give me a break mate. It isn't a rumour it's a report that got leaked on the eve of our biggest game in years and BA's most important of his career. There is an agenda, and it's not journalists making shit up. It's from within.

 

[Incorrect]

Whoever leaked should have their cock cut off.

What if they're in to that?

Got leaked on the eve or got reported on the eve to get maximum clicks.... Seems they got you.

If Jake Arthur was not selected on the bench none of this would have been leaked, clicked or whatever but BA's absolute stubbornness fuelled the fire.

I wonder if Moses and Elias have talked about it.

Agree. And the not good shit to me is the final sentence in the article, about how the NRL leadership group has questioned why Nathan Brown has been overlooked.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

That seems like a massive stretch. How do you propose they do this.

They pay a lot of money to dodgy firms like this: https://www.nsogroup.com/about-us/

Well he should be sticking to his guns. It's his career on the line. It's like hindyeleven said, the day a coach cares what the fans think he'll be sitting in the stands with them.

The "report" has got almost nothing to do with NRL .... talking about it in the same sentence as BA and JA is just journos/commentators making a f**king drama out of it - they all feed off eachother

 

[emjaycee]

The "report"wasn't leaked.
A summary of the report was sent to a number of people in the Parra system, including some of the bigger junior clubs. It appears that one or two of those were unhappy with the junior Eels setup, as to them it appears that there are 2 clubs only that get shown some level of favouritism when it comes to rep selection and pathways. Odds on one of these clubs shared it with the too many people and it found its way to a journo. The report had nothing in it regarding NRL team, BA, JA, or Nrown.

 

[yy_cheng]

Maybe it was sent to the wrong nbrown@parra.com.au

Kent mentioned there are three different versions of the report with different wording. So I don't know how he'd know that if the original report wasn't leaked. But yes, wasn't about the NRL or BA/JA, although the leak could be.

I believe you, but those who have an axe to grind are twisting the narrative to knife the coach. This is very true on here and to those who have on the eve of a really big match ~ f**k you.
