Suity - given your emotional justifications in points 1- 4, point 5 is a contradiction as there is no lucid explanation for it other than point 7 (i.e. gut feeling).

I think all of us in this forum have the best interest of the Eels at heart and like a family, it can be dysfunctional. However I can't for the life of me see how SK will get out of this mess. Like you if I am wrong then I am wrong but I base my argument on the raw statistics which is 7 out of 34 and not some intangibles.

Well said. However Suity and the others just want us winning. The situation is getting so bad that my 10 year old son is getting hassled by Sharks supporters at his school here in the Sutherland Shire. Even he wants Kearney sacked. :)

Im a school teacher in the Bankstown area. It's got so bad that students (mostly dogs supporters) are feeling sorry for me. This is a new low

which has in my opinion always been a worry how SK uses the bench.
It has been suggested that they go into a game withh a set plan of who will come off when and they appear not to deviate from this preconcieved plan to suit the way the game is going.

Keating is not an effective 80 minute player. The bench is all over the place.

Just a question to the believers and optimists. If we get the spoon should Kearney be sacked ?

nobody could acuse me of being either but to be fair, taking last year as an example with the spoon being 16 pts.
What would you say if we got the spoon by winning the last 5 games and by some miracle the team looked like a competitve unit?

the bottom line is it is still the spoon, that excuse didn't work for Hagan - nor should it for Kony.

Sign some players. Compete in the last half of the comp. Look like a team that has half an idea and the merkin can keep his job.

No more excuses about not his team, culture or other bullshit. No other professional sporting team in the world would put up with it and nor should we.

Any professional sport he would be gone by now...

Is this a professional sport? is it a professionally run side?? if so, cut the losses and let him go! no more tolerating mediocrity, why would anyone tolerate this?

The board are stubborn and ignorant but hope he can turn it around so they don't look like fools that have on 2 occasions lost money in coach payouts. They are now just looking after their own arse. Watch them pay overs for SBW to deflect the real situation ie Kearney can't coach and they made a huge mistake in firing a real coach and replacing him with an overrated rookie.

Honestly, what's the difference between getting the spoon or coming second or third last?

Is it worse to win six games and finish 14th one year or win eight games and run last in a tighter competition?

The fact is we're shit this year. Winning the spoon or not won't change that. If you think we're shit because of the coach then he should be sacked regardless of whether or not we win the spoon.

Likewise if you think we're shit because of deep structural issues then avoiding the spoon won't change that. Only time and a strong plan will.
