Eels Next Coach

[Johnny88]

Listening to Freddie and the eighth today on you tube , Freddy loves parra it's a great club mabe he wants a interview lol.
Fittler said he was going to sign with Parramatta back in 1996 it was between Manly, Roosters and eels, but Gus was at Roosters so he chose them.
That would've been a great side.

 

[Parra Pride]

Have you ever listened to him speak?

Yes, I also saw him get Hindy of all people fired up enough to try and fight him so he has my respect on the shit talk front.

Fred Fitler was one of the best I've seen alongside Lockear,Thurston and Johns.
Cliff Lyons was probably a guy who I rated not to far off them yet would never be mentioned in the same breath by most.

 

[Gazzamatta]

I dont care if Trump gets the job if he can gets our boys playing their best footy. I got sick to death of seeing talent wasted.
Change is good.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Except the Murph of course, good old Murph!!

The Murph is an institution at the club now.

I hope the new coach keeps him on.

I want murph here for life and never let him go.

They will be naming the changerooms after him by the time he finishes.

Long Service Murph

I saw enough deadshit decisions from Freddy as origin coach that Fittler would be the last coach I want.

Ironically if he wanted another club role he should have jumped in 2021. When his stocks were high after 3 series wins in 4 years.

Losing to the worst QLD side in 2020 and the last 2 origin series have eroded Freddy's reputation.

Johns, Thurston, Cam Smith in that order for me.

I only seen footy since 1999 but Joey is still the best. He dominated at every level.

No matter what you think of him as bloke/sook he was quality and changed the way halfbacks play today. His general play kicking, control, running game and ability to perfect the banana kick.

Throw in his elite defence for a halfback and would nail clutch 40/20s, FGs and conversions.

I remember watching him play live as a kid for NSW 3 times at homebush.

On 2 occasions he got MOM 2002 & 2005 he destroyed QLD like no halfback we have seen for NSW.

 

[hindy111]

Actually that's a good point. Is BA eligible for long service?

 

[Twizzle]

Ennis is fine with me. Why do some feel he is useless?
Question is why was he punted only to be bought back?

you just answered your own question

if he was good he wouldn't have been punted

But he never kicked no 2-point field goal like "our Zac".

Murphs in the Tunnel!

Would love to know how many field goals he kicked were 40m out or more.

10 min mark of this one he kicked a penalty goal from halfway went 62m on the fly incredible.

The story I vaguely recall when the Rugby League Digest podcast spoke about it in the Super League series was that once it became clear Freddy was staying with the NRL, Gus shit-canned Parra and told Freddy the only clubs he should ever consider joining should be Roosters, Manly or Canterbury. So with Canterbury off the list cause they went to Super League, it came down to Manly and Roosters and yeah, we know the rest....

It's rugby league. They aren't teaching etiquette.
You want a grub to teach them to niggle and get under the skin of players.

No I want a coach who’s more than just a one trick pony

Yeah Johns is the best I’ve seen. Phenomenal player. But I only vaguely remember the eighties.

Cam Smith I never really got. He played forever and won all the time, which is obviously a sign of quality. He just never seemed to be the best on the field, for mine, even when he was MotM.

Maybe he was poached

For mine it was Wally

Ennis knows his shit..absolute great pick-up if we get him as an assistant or coach. I reckon he outsmarted BA in a number of areas. BA wouldn't have wanted a threat...
Ennis lives and breathes footy...he leagues

Bee stings is an A grade grub of epic proportions who has a massive dislike for parra as he was never graded by them...an absolute germ who continues to shit can the game and makes an outstanding living off it...grub dog grub
