Good to see the CEO come out of hiding and offer the same old rhetoric after yet another failed season. It’s your usual compliment sandwich. Apparently it’s everyone’s responsibility for the shit show that was 2023 and they all take responsibility. I guess it’s easy to be accountable in an organisation that not only puts up with mediocrity, but rewards it.

We need a clean out and I’d start with this buffoon, followed by the coaching staff. We’ve started with rectifying the horrendous recruitment decisions of Hodgson and now Davey, still a few more to go.

Read that and I can’t see anything changing whatsoever, just a case of you can’t help bad luck.

Is there any benefit of being a club member? They posted this shit prior to sending out the email. Why even bother you balding wanker..

Yep, it was uninspiring at best but I’d run with incompetence. It wreaks of someone who is way out of his depth in that role and has absolutely zero answers to dig us out of the hole we’re in. Instead of offering excuses, it should have read that the season was completely unacceptable for an organisation like the Eels and should detail exactly how it won’t happen again in the future. That would make for a much more optimistic read, rather than this puff piece.

Yeah I’ve noticed that. They push out media and comms when they click send on the members’ email. That has been a change from the last few years.

I like the part about our depth being tested..

We had 4 guys in our top 30 not even play a first grade game. We did Piss off Brown and Rein retired.
JA Played 1 game
Murchie - 5 games
Momoisea - 3

Doorey actually played 11 which I am shocked i didnt notice him that much!

Our depth wasn't tested our recruitment was...

I hope we are happy with comprehensively beating the panthers its a good win but nothing as a CEO to be celebrating....

Like what's the point of being a member...

All Flegg and NSW cup games for starters should be available to stream for members.

Media releases and team lists should be available to members before the public.

What a joke of a press release.

Just unlucky that our depth was tested with 22 weeks of suspension. It's a f**king discipline problem, both on and off the field. Depth becomes a bigger problem when you haven't signed a full squad and then let players go.

And I can't believe he highlighted the win over an understrength Panthers side in that puff piece. Yea that shows things are looking good for 2024.Embarrassing.

CEO, Coach, HOF and Head of Recruitment all need to be boned.

Jimmy boy is a disgrace let's be honest

It'd been 2 weeks since our last game and he peddles that garbage.

No wonder a f... wit like hadley bashes him.

i dont know why people get so hyped about beating the panthers during the regular season. we had one game we really needed to beat them and they made us look stupid. if anything the whole beating penrith in the regular season is nothing but super frustrating at this point.

You take the wins you can get. Penrith have a much better team than we do, so when they take us lightly we should be happy to stick it up them. Just like when shit teams do when they beat us.

I’d rather take the wins when you need them, when it mattered this season we pissed ourselves.

Well it would be pretty boring if it was just the Roosters, Panthers, Broncos and Storm every year. Sometimes we even finish ahead of some of these clubs. Eventually we’ll finish ahead of all of them. It’s very exciting.

We got constitutional reform which what we needed. I don't want to return to the dark days where we spent every season in the headlines.

The current board have been given 6 years now and it seems while we have stability.

We look like a club that is reactive to everything we do starting from recruitment and retention to other areas of the football department.

We need blokes on the board and executive team that are smart, have a strong football IQ and ruthless.

Jim especially represents none of those traits.
