Eels Next Coach

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Lindsay’s story is amazing.

Out for 6 seasons with a triple ACL bypass, played a grand final with two broken legs and in a recent interview with Big League magazine he said that:

“ A couple of times last year, while I was in reserve grade, I was thinking about the operation and becoming a nun. Now I’m playing under Madge… if he goes to the eels, I’m a coming too”

Mx Lindsay Collins, the greatest rooster of them all:


Madge would be a good fit, but if he’s not listed on the dodgy Poll here, he’s not in the running!

If we compared that starting 13 to our best 2025 13 based on who we have currently the only wins we have in head to head on paper would be

Lomax over Auva’a
RCG over Tyrell

maybe a struck match between Moses and Reynolds.

that souths team would put 40 on us

Moses over Reynolds any day of the week, and I rate Reynolds.

Flanagan interview on NRL360. Wow!
If only.

But but but but there was no one better!!!

Flanagan has had success wherever he has gone in the junior ranks to senior level.

Its no surprise to see him turn around an average St George side into potential finalists in 12 months.

Imagine what he would have done our roster.

Different players for different teams I feel.
If I was to compare the two it would be like comparing say Brady/Manning/Big Ben who are all clutch and calming influences who make the right calls most the time to your
Rodgers/Lamar/J.Allen types.
So some sides would be suited better with one or the other. Brisbane now with Esra and a dynamic backline are suited perfectly to Reynolds.
A side like the the Storm or Penrith would be better off with Mitch.

The stories I have heard from people at Parramatta while he was here would rule him out especially after the Sharks doping ban.

Allegedly a beat-up old Kingwood would turn up at the end of training sessions and players would flock to it to get their "Doctor Pepper".

The other Junior reps coaches wondered what was so enticing about the American cola that players would rush to it.

Most of those players never made grade due to "social issues", one allegedly held up a brothel trying to get cash for drugs.

I guess it has to be Hannay. If it was Ryles we wouldn't be waiting till after Origin.

 

[Gronk]

That is the worst quality pic ever posted on LU. Congratulations !

Lol what's going to happen if a qldr who sits next to Billy announces he's going to be a head coach? That won't disrupting anything.

If Madge announced it it would cause major disruption.

Has to be Maguire

 

[Zoso]

We should get Holbrook to come and be an assistant coach at Parra ffs. Ciraldo can be our defence coach.

Problem solved! Why are we wasting our time looking for a head coach ffs!?!

 

[Johnny88]

Danny Weidler has said on 100% footy that the new coach will be announced before the week ends. Does not know who.

I think this is a good point.

It's obv Hannay unless there's someone who's name is not released to the media.

 

[Stevie]

I’m excited if it’s this week. Keen to get in with it.

 

[Gazzamatta]

HOLBROOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But apart from that he went alright??

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I am actually surprised Ricky took the job on.

He would have been better off holding onto NSW for a few more years.

I’m certain coaching an NRL club (a full time job) pays much better than coaching an Origin side. I’m sure Madge thinks so too.

 

[the phantom menace]

So maybe a Friday announcement (after our game this round), and before the final Origin selections are announced?

That would mean Maguire could play on the "win it for Madge" motivation in his final game as Blues coach, before starting his 4 years Eels contract

 

[TheCrowe]

Newcastle Heralds Barry Toohey saying the club is looking for a new assistant coach? Is Brian McDermott leaving?

McDermott was re-signed. Rory Kostjasyn left.
