Eels Next Coach

[Avenger]

Holbrook never applied. He would have been a terrific appointment but was happier staying assistant at the roosters than coming to our rabble

That’s not true mate. He wanted the gig, badly. He lives around here where I am and we all know each other. Maximum one degree of separation.

They never approached him.

 

[hineyrulz]

David Furner has certainly fixed up the Rabbits defensive deficiencies...

Didn’t he replace our current defensive coach?? I mean the people doing the hiring even look into him??

It beggers belief that Demetriou could get an interview and Holbrook couldn't.

Whose Holbrook's manager

Did he want an interview

His manager came out publicly and said he didn’t want to leave the roosters at this stage and wasn’t interested. If he wanted the gig badly he needs a new manager….

They have the same manager. As does Hannay.

That's bullshit. The Eels board said they supported BA too.

 

[hindy111]

Having some big bodies that chase the collision is ok, though having second rowers that are slow as don't put pressure on the defense is where we lost our..

BA did not want to drop Lane or Carty even though the game had past them by...

His stubbornness was his down fall in the end.

And the turtle. Lussick

If you really want a particular job, you don't wait to be approached.

 

[EelEtric]

You lot seem to me to be pretty negative most of the time.

Who do you want as Head Coach, Assistant Coaches, Reggies Coach, HoF, CEO and Board?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It was difficult to achieve , it since 2021 when the players signed elsewhere, we have morphed into the Tigers, actually they are in a better position in a sense. Those in charge of players and contracts have basically stuffed us.

We’re not the Tigers after one bad year. The Tigers are the Tigers because being shit is normal for them.

 

[the phantom menace]

Carty isn't a starting second rower our back row is terrible.

Just need to watch the Riffs second row last night..

Carty played out of his skin last season and early this season, in a losing side. He's been our best back rower... which says a lot about the demise of the others.

But ideally - in a properly constructed squad - he is suited to a bench back row impact option.

 

[King-Gutho94]

seriously mate, our idiots make Hegipentalis and Justin pascoe look like absolute masters….im Seriously over it.

Every passing day it's becoming a bigger joke.

It's starting to look like whoever they appoint they don't have much confidence in.

Has another club ever taken this long to appoint a coach.

BA has found another job ffs before we even appointed his replacement is just another sign of incompetence.

[Noise]

I reckon BA might have take a certain halfback and hooker with him.

 

[Eelectrica]

Knowing the idiots who are making this decision it’s probably Paul Langmack.

We can get someone more current than that. Anthony griffin is still available.
We could end up with the dynamic duo of Griffin and Barrett.
It’s all very exciting.

 

[Chipmunk]

I reckon BA might have take a certain halfback and hooker with him.

I think he'd probably think that it's a good opportunity for Jake, but I think he knows Matt's best place at this stage is the NRL.

As for Lussick...

That says a lot about our pack when Carty has been the best .

He turned up against the Dogs in round 1 but that was about it

 

[JokerEel]

Super League is made for Jake just like other NRL rejects.

Good kid but just didn't have the body for the NRL.

 

[JokerEel]

On the next coach

Ryles / Hannay or anyone that wants to get a gig as an NRL coach really need to go to the UK and coach over there for 3 seasons.
