Eels Next Coach

[Gronk]

Bennett 74. Politis 82. Richardson 68. Old merkins everywhere

Well it wont me who will be making dementia jokes around here. I know others who will after a few losses.

So...it's between Young, and Ryles, then?

Under Brian Smith, we always looked the complete footy team.

Under Brian Smith, we regularly made Finals footy.

Under Brian Smith, we jagged high-quality big-names, such as Glenn Morrison, Timana Tahu, Jim Dymock....

Under Brian Smith, we developed quality juniors into world-calibre players - Nathan Hindmarsh, Jamie Lyon...hell, even Moodie, and Hodgson, played for NSW, and Vaealiki was a regular for New Zealand.

His only weakness was not being able to get the side mentally prepared for a Grand Final - something which has haunted him for years.

Bring him home - let him finish his story.

TCT reckon Joey has said Ryles has got the job.

But can't find the Joey reference

Hannay in 2025, Ryles in 2026

Surely Ryles just stays put at the Storm, and moves up to Head Coach when Bellamy decides to semi-retire into a coaching director role?

You’d think so, but it’s been multiple years of “this is Bellamy’s last year” at this point, so the waiting must be tiresome.

 

[Matty Bhoy]

In short…. Nobody fkn knows anything

 

[Gazzamatta]

Hannay to Eels until Payton or Walters are punted.
Ryles to Eels until Bellamy decides to leave Melb.
Take your pick.
Missing a huge opportunity if its not Holbrook. Add Smithy in a Gus like role and watch us go.

 

[Chipmunk]

The talk/rumour amongst some in the media is that Hannay will be announced but only as a 1 year deal.

If that’s the case, anyone involved in the decision should be pushed off the leagues club roof, as we won’t sign or re-sign a single player

I can't see either a coach taking the gig on for one year, or the club even just offering it for one year.

The only exception I can see to that is if they decide to keep Barrett on and go for someone else in 2026.

To be honest I wouldn't put a decision like that past these incompetent muppets though.

Given that none of us or the press know what is happening, this is very amusing as we head into the game tonight.

Yeah it's hilarious

Go Parra

 

[Noise]

lol There is no way it’s a one year deal. Dumb for the club and dumb for the coach. And dumb if anyone actually thinks thats what’s going to happen.

John Monie is 77.

Has he managed to get an interview yet.

The poor bastard is the only living person that has coached Parra to a premiership.

In 2006 he was punted "don't let the door hitcha on the way out" Style. We signed Hagan whilst he was still in charge !

We could always exhume Jack and wrap his skeleton in a brown fur coat.
