A cleanout is bulls**t to certain extent. If a player, say Sandow, has a 4 year contract you can't just say to him f**k we don't want you any more. SK needs to get the best out of the players he has available and if he can't then he's a poor coach.

why would you single out a Marquee player??..a clean out to me would be just about every player of contract and maybe asking a couple of others if they'd like to negotiate else where.

We weren't all lucky enough to be born before the 80s.

I wasn't singling him out, just brought him up as an example because he's the last player to have signed a long term contract with us. Replace his name with anyone you like Stagger.

In regards to letting go players off contract, well great if you can find replacements... whether they be juniors who can step up, or experienced players from other clubs. But you need to find them.

Asking players to negotiate elsewhere isn't a bad option but more often than not you have to payout part of their contract and that counts under the salary cap. You yourself mate, have mentioned that the reason why we might struggle to sign players for next year is because we're continually paying out players whose contracts have been terminated or have been released. So if you think that's a mistake, why would you suggest we do that again...

Its all good mate.

So you would never have even seen the Canterbury 4 at the Club? You had some good times early in your supporting days like myself though. I remember 10 very lean years mid 80s to mid 90s.....

If I was born a few weeks earlier I could proudly say I was born in a year that the Eels won a premiership.

Kearney = :BDH:


that is all.

We played good tonight and we made less bumbles than normal.

I'm not goint to SK any credit for this game or the Manly win because I am of the opinion that that a team can lift by themselves every now and then without the coach.

So it was a good game for us and now we need to improve each week. If that doesn't happen then he's lost me and I bet 95% of the rest of the Eels supporters out there.

If this was game one of the season, we'd all be perfectly fine.

Tonight was about the first time this year they've played "Kearney football" - competing for the full 80 and working for each other.

Funnily enough it took them 10 games last year before they started doing the same.

Pattern?

however saints were ordinary too

 

[strider]

The usual suspects are, and for good reason. I'll get to that later.

I sat there the whole game yelling at the missus and the tele. It's true. I'm not very pleasant to watch footy with at home.
My only wish was that we got a win. We didn't.
We weren't that bad though, even though we actually "were" that bad.

Suity

why? did she miss a few tackles? throw some bad passes? drop a few balls?

 

[Slick]

It has to be Brian Smith. The more I think about it the more I come to the same conclusion. Since he left and to a lesser extent Taylor we have been on a downward spiral. It has been absolute cancer with a late 2009 remission period.

Agreed. Get him back here to finish what he started. That and there is no one else :x

 

[ROGUE]

We're at that stage where Cronulla were recently where no-one wanted to go there except for some random player chasing the big buck or the players unwanted by other clubs for misdemeanours.
We need a NRL scandal involving a good player who no-one will touch then we just may able to recruit someone credible.

thats the real killer every time this year when we had a dig and won (manly) or almost won (tigers) you would think we would build on that and improve the next week but single every time we have gone backwards
im hoping we can build on last nights performance but i wouldnt put any money on it

well you'd like to assume there's a plan in place and timing is probably the most important factor; the mistake comes from the fact that clubs don't do their research and homework and I know it's pretty common for clubs to talk to each other when it comes to players currently on long term deals, the mistake comes from the fact that we just tell player A to test his value when he's probably sitting behind 6 players as a priority on the open market...I guess that's why it took so long for the roosters to snap up Morts.

Fair comment. Our defence was much improved but we were playing an out of form dragons.

I think he was worried about the repercussions on LU ie the Kearney thread:lol:

 

[Slick]

I think it's obvious what has to happen now...
