Eels v Doggies Match Thread

[lingard]

i still don't rate him. Yeah he had a decent game last night but who wouldn't look good against us?

I`ve been watching him all year. He`s going pretty good.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

And you`re not an Eels fan?

I'm one of the few that wanted Burt dropped.

And yes I was wrong about Mortimer. No I wasn't wrong about Burt.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Small price to pay, don`t you think? But, in any case, what makes you think that Stephen Kearney is the only 'coach' who can get rid of our dead-wood and recruit decent players; develop structures, etc?

No but I think he was the only one willing to come to Parra. Hasler, Bennett, Sheens and Bellamy wouldn't touch this place with a proverbial, and I doubt Brian Smith would come back.

I mean, we have Nolan now; what do we need Kearney for? Seems to me he came to this club with some good ideas, but his inability to actually coach the NRL team, is actually making recruitment more difficult and preventing those plans from succeeding. Maybe we`ve got all we`re going to get out of Kearney - and all we need to get out of him.

It's certainly possible. Like I said, I'm very happy with how the squad is shaping up for the future. If Kearney gets the arse at the end of the year we're well placed for Ricky Stuart to come in and f**k everything. My choice would be Jason Taylor but you have to ask yourself why no other club wants him.

:lol::lol::lol: What a load of rubbish! Doesn`t matter whether you`re right or wrong, you just have to try to win the argument, eh? Pathetic.

Mate I'm spot on. Burt offers nothing from the wing. At least at fullback he can use his brains and kicking game.

Still not a first grader but.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You don`t really believe half this shit you write, do you? What exactly do you think Kearney`s role is, then?

Again, his job is to put structures in place so that the lads can give themselves an opportunity.

12 months ago Poupou was spruiking Kearney as coach because he is a great leader captaining his country at 21 bla bla bla so go figure.

He is the off-field leader of the club's players and staff. This is why everybody puts in 110%

They sure do :roll:

Gold Coast Suns territory.

Edit: I looked. Suns paying $5.25 against Richmond. Their last win was last year. Against Richmond.

I don't want to look but we must be in Giants territory.

The Suns got up.

Ha. It's funny on so many levels.

Thoroughly agree regarding Jason Taylor. Not so sure about Stuart f**king things up, though. I wouldn`t mind Stuart. Considering he allegedly 'f**ked up' the Roosters and the Sharks, it didn`t take either club very long to recover, did it? I agree, too, that the squad is shaping up okay, although I can`t help feeling that we might have attracted some more players (and some players that Kearney himself wanted) if we were winning more games. Kearney admitted this recently, too. My view is that now we`ve gotten the beginnings of this 'rebuilding' thing underway (well- underway, hopefully), we should now focus on getting a coach who can provide on-field success to go with it. I really don`t think Stephen Kearney can.

You might be 100% right.

You might be 100% right.

Or I might be wrong. Doesn`t matter really, does it?

Still not a first grader but.

I actually think that Burt`s limitations are far more exposed at fullback these days, than they are on the wing. I don`t think it was a particularly good decision for Kearney to select him there.

No, seriously.
