Eels Next Coach

[strider]

My sources tell me we've been working on similar moves to get them on their backs but we are adding in a shanghai cravat at the end.

that will no doubt lead to penalties .... only cos it takes time to squeeze one out

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Some would say our defence is already shit.

cos they are distracted by the thought of trying out new tactics ..... things got confusing when they stopped the time honoured tradition of just rubbing some merkins face in the dirt - had to think of all sorts of new shit

Stuart, what? Did you miss the disaster he was here last time.

...

Stuart won the Premiership in his first year as an NRL coach...that's what that's about...

Gronk asked about coaches who have had instant success - I named 2 out of the 6.

 

[Gronk]

Instant success:

Trent Robinson
Ricky Stuart

Both won the Premiership in their first seasons as NRL Head Coaches.

Ironically (or not), both were coaching the Roosters...

Michael Hagan, we should sign him

Unless we can jag Trent Robinson or Craig Bellamy* I wouldn’t be cutting BA’s contract short. Ciraldo is as much a gamble as BA was 9 years ago.

* I still think he’s a grub with questionable tactics that have destroyed the game but it’s obvious that the man is a winner.

Actually I think he said don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

No coach will be at a club forever, however name a coach transition in NRL history that has had instant success ? I bet they are rare. Hell even Ivan didn't make the 8 when he was parachuted into the Panthers job.

Do you want a new coach with a 5 year plan so it's "his team" or do you want a coach who can hit the ground running ?

I'm not adverse to a new coach, just take that leap when you have a better option lined up.

I'd like a coach that gives us a different, more interesting style of play. I'd be willing to wait a bit for 'success'. I am so sick of watching us play this monotonous bloody style. Even when we win it's boring.

Craig Bellamy turned Brian f**king Norrie into a very good player - that speaks volumes, imo...

The guy may be a bit of a dick with his tactics, but I would kill to have him coach us.

god, how many times has Bellyache been accused of coaching/creating a boring a boring style of play ?

Also he doesn't have the midas touch like many suggest. You need a sprinkling of GOATS otherwise you'll get found out. Not saying he doesn't have the knack of unearthing GOATS, but drop him into an inferior side and the evidence suggests they'll prolly still play that way.

 

[strider]

give him half a season to work with an inferior roster and they will probably become superior

i too think he is a merkin - but he gets results

A great interview on 2SEN earlier today. Jimmy Smith with Bob O'Reilly. Excellent listening. Had some insights into Gibbos coaching. Not sure where to find it but worth a listen.

Did he explain the fur jacket?

There’s no explaining that jacket.

 

[Gary Gutful]

At least 72 beavers were shaved to make that jacket.

That’s why there are so many bald merkins about FFS Gibbo.

You think a game where the loser scores 20+ points (has occurred in half of our matches this year) is boring?!?!?

Bellyache was shit at SOO
