Next year it will be:
"ITS OK PEOPLE! We have a new halfback, give them time"
Year After it will be:
ITS OK PEOPLE! We have just lost Burt and Hindy to retirement, give them time...
I don't know about you, but I am over the excuses.
Hate to say I told you so...

Mannah at the doggies.

This year I expected us to miss the 8 and next year I expect us to make the 8.
I reckon Sandow will finish this year on a massive high but next year will be a bit of a let-down early on. He'll still be streets ahead of anybody we've got at the club.
But by the end of next year Sandow will be in good form and we'll go well in the finals.
I think in 2013 we'll be genuine premiership contenders.
Fitness for all NRL squads are now at or very close to peak optimum level, meaning NRL defences have improved on years gone by making it much easier to read and shut down simple easy to read attacking games like the one SK & co provide for the Eels.
Low % games like controlling the ball, avoiding 2nd phase plays to reduce mistakes, relying primarily on a one out grinding game for 80 minutes, can more easily be handled by fitter NRL defences.
Yes, points are leaked by these defences, kick here, bounce of the ball luck there, a perfect Jarryd Hayne pass here, etc, BUT, many of these NRL squads have a better, more free flowing, add-libing attacking game permitted in their structures/game-plans, allowing their briliant attackers to rip apart NRL defences like the Eels when oportunities present.
Unles we improve our attacking structures most NRL teams will score more points than the Eels during 2012, we'll miss out on the top 8 with a high probability of coming last this year.
Our attacking game is suffocating and SK & co are fully responsibile for this. Their hands are around the Eels throats squeezing them tight.
We play a most boring game..

I would have to agree with this post.After 1 ROUND, you are looking like Nostradamus. Most people on this forum know I am not sold on Kearney's coaching abilities but even I would give them more than 1 round before coming to a conclusion like that.
If we keep dishing out the same boring, predictable crap we saw in round 1, then we may well be on 1 win from 6 starts. But I would like to think things will pick up as we get more game time under our belt.
Just sit back and watch it unfold.....I hope.:?
WOE
I don't think SK coaching can be blamed for some of the easy dropped balls tha we saw on Friday night. As it was only round 1 and I beleive our handling wasn't the best during the trials, the coaching staff would have tried to simplify things to get the basic things right first.
The 'boring style' argument is a good one for the death riders as its something they can fall back on if we start winning.
