Eels in the media

[Poupou Escobar]

Deflect what? Are you saying 52% win rate after 200+ games is the sign of a shit coach?

Eels in the Media thread - has the above stat been in the media of late?

Or is it just another #Poutangent derailing topical discussion in yet another thread?

Reader, you be the judge...

Well the good ones are all at bigger clubs. When was the last time a better than average coach wanted to be at Parramatta?

Maybe it's time for you to be obsessed with @Pazza as well? Surely there's room in your tiny heart for one more.

But imagine... just imagine... if you weren't obsessed with EVERYONE on here, and actually stopped replying to any post with your contrary nonsense in every thread, just for the sake of it?

Anyway, Eels getting rid of Player Options is in the media again... and have been on the nose since May 2023.

‘Never again’: Eels vow to end contract clauses that could cost them Brown, Moses

Superstar halves Dylan Brown and Mitchell Moses will be the last Parramatta players ever to have player options in their favour, according to the new Eels chairman.

www.smh.com.au

Beach, in his first public address since succeeding previous chairman Sean McElduff, added: “This is a really important topic. There are three additional points I’d like to make more broadly in relation to player options.

“The first point is we haven’t entered into a player contract that has an option for about two years; May 2023 was the last time we entered into a contract with a player option.

“Point two, since that time we’ve signed or retained 22 to 24 players since [then] without issuing player options.

“Thirdly, we will not be issuing player options going forward.”

The last comment was met with a round of applause from the Eels faithful.

And it's been all uphill since May 2023.

Well, at least we since then we've cut the outdated coaching stink out of the place...that's uphill, most honest people would admit.

I hope you’re right.

Dunno if Foran is really an “Eel in the media”

Dunno if Foran is really an “Eel in the media”

His stint was so short and so long ago

I almost forget he was an Eel on some occasions. Bulldogs he was a bigger flop. And he also played for the warriors.

At least we got Moses 12 months later out of it.

Imagine being stuck with Foran for 4 years on a million with options and clauses coming out of his arsehole.

Hasler has been playing injury prone/old man money ball with him for 15 years. Problem is he’s an expensive, high maintenance crock.

Cleary had a worse record after 258 games. He didn't let it stop him.

He has had 4 different coaching stints.

Warriors most successful period in their history was under Ivan.

Tigers 9th -Best finish in 10+yrs

Penrith 5 grand final and 4 titles - Best in history of game

His only failure was his first stint at Penrith. I think he managed a top 4 spot but failed in other seasons.

Yeah but he had to deal with Gus's interference and only returned with no Gus.

BA isn't a shit coach at all. He is your standard run of the mill average coach. Similar to most NRL coaches tbh.
But he lacked ideas and foresight. When every club was looking for smaller and faster forwards he was signing Grieg,Ogden,Jnr, Lane.

And then knifed him and had him sacked. Ah the sweet taste of revenge.
