Eels in the media

Is the club even part of the process? If it’s not in the playing contract I don’t see how the club gets a say. Their only recourse is next time he’s off contract.

I heard ba say that he told matto his thoughts but it wad mattos decision at the end and he'll support whatever he chose

No I quite clearly stated this week’s game matters for no other reason than because it’s worth two points. People looking for revenge or trying to tie the result to the ability of the coach will be the exceptions.

I think the discussion in the thread was about the importance of said two points - being 1-3 rather than 0-4, morale/motivation/incentivation - to the success of the season.

But we can agree to disgaree that these particular two points are more meaningful to our 2023 chances than any of the other random two points on offer.

The article I quoted implied these two points were about whether our coach was able to exact revenge for the grand final, not whether we would just pick up two points on the ladder.

 

[Kilkenny]

There is no revenge, it’s just one game.

If you win tomorrow night it’s a well earned and much needed two points.

Last years GF is done and dusted for both sides.

Tomorrow is about the two points.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Agreed. Can't wait to get revenge.

They wanted to pay the fine so they don't miss out on playing.

For the nrl, the stars stay on the field

That's why I'm suggesting a yellow card system in place of fines.
One grade 1 incident does not mean a suspension but 2 or 3 over several games does.
The players slate could be wiped after say 10 games. Similar to soccer.

But the fine system allows them a way to fund Life after footy for players without dipping into their (NRL's) pockets.

If they follow your suggestion, they'll have to allocate some of their budget to fund the Life after footy fund.

The current way, NRL players arent suspended, fans get to watch their players run around more and theirs funding for life after footy, then that budget (which was to be reserved for life after footy if there was no fine system) can go back to the teams in grants so it appears the teams get more money, they raise the salary cap so players get more, etc.

so if the players are good boys, they win by playing more and getting more money

Where do you get your information?
I can't find anything on what happens to the fines for match indiscretions.

I listen to Big Sports Breakfast and 2sm Sports and Talk and it is always brought up on this.

NRL 360 have talked about it in the past too.

Gee how you can listen to that dribbler Michael Clarke.

A colleague told me he brings cricket into every conversation even if it involves rugby league.

He was the Capt of Australia and he tries to put it into another perspective. He's ok. They talk shit alot so that can be funny

Put Vossy on sen 1170 mate.

Better quality footy chat for mine.

Brandy can be a bit of pain but he is better on the radio then on TV.

I work with a bunch of dudes whose only f**king hobby is watching cricket. And talking about it in the office.

Arthur agreed in the presser that we were lucky. Any game decided by less than six points is a coin toss.

More often than not, it is. I agree.

He just admitted he got lucky and had nothing to do with the win!

Moses agrees to four-year extension to remain at Eels until 2028

As revealed in the Herald, Mitchell Moses has rejected offers from other NRL clubs to remain in the blue and gold.

Agreed It’s not always the case. Sometimes a team should win by a couple of tries and bad luck makes their win much closer than it should be.
