Souths and Parra had equal talent on paper tonight.

Souths were bettter drilled and wrestled us out of the game.

They were clearly a better coached side.

Can"t wait to hear the Amigos post their excuses tonight.


Was thinking the exact same thing, and then noticed this.

I was willing to give some credit to Kearney tonight if we won as he would have accomplished a remarkable achievement in his coaching history, that being winning back to back games. Craig Coleman achieved this with Souths in 2002 with a side put to together at the last minute from other club's reserve graders and rejects. It looks like we'll have to wait at least another two weeks to SK to match this record

You reckon he'll be around in two weeks?????

Excuse # 234: It's not the coaches fault that the players can't follow the game plan.

Did not want Anderson sacked but apart from his 2010 side not being the best defensive side my biggest concern with his side was the lack of attacking options when attacking the oppositions try line - I believe this is one of the major signs of a poorly coached side. From my footy experience ( which is limited compared to the nrl ) is that when attacking the try line it should not be wasted and every tackle should not be wasted . You practice until every set play is perfect .

Tonight our attack on the try was crap there was nothing , no structure , no decoy runners, no well time kicks - watching our attack in that position you could not tell who was in charge. That us my biggest concern after tonight's game. Look at souths in the first half they had as many chances as us and looked very well drilled in our try line - clearly Reynolds was in charge and if nothing was on they went for the repeat set. if Kearney can't fixed this problem with hayne and sandow in his side it does not matter who we sign for 2013

Kearney has had enough time to fix these problems. The difference between him and DA is he found a style of play that suited the players he had available. With SK it seems there's only one style of play he knows... the one Melbourne had about 3 years ago which has since become outdated.

This. Like others have said, Hasler is the most obvious example of having a game plan that suits his roster. josh Morris said on MMM yesterday, Hasler spent so much time on skills in the ore-season, he has turned around the careers of a number of players. Many of our players are playing far worse under Kearney. for me, that's the reason I don't think he's up to it.

Don't really Agree anderson found a style that works for him as 2010 did not work but do agree Kearney should have something in place by now considering we have sandow and hayne in our backline

I'm going to bed. I hope in the morning when I go and get the paper off the front lawn, that I open up to the sport section and it says "Kearney dumped".

I think DA tried to combine a style of play that suited our players, but also would result in consistent success beyond 2010 with what he was trying to do. SK seems to think we're still in 2009, even though the Storm play completely different to who they played back then. That's the thing with Rugby League... the game is constantly evolving and coaches need to change their strategies accordingly. Kearney isn't.

STEPHEN Kearney was putting on a brave face after Parramatta suffered their 11th defeat of the season last night but as the losses continue to mount the pressure on the Eels coach increases.
Questioned about whether he was worried about his own job security, Kearney played it straight. "I can't. My focus is dealing with what I've got in front of me," he said.
"If I focus on that then I'm going to take my mind off what's important and that's doing my job. So that's not an issue. I don't have a great deal of control over that, I just control what I've got to do."
The Eels board have discussed moving the coach on at the end of the season but remain undecided on his future for now. But if the losing trend continues, there's only so many hits a popular club like Parramatta can take.
Asked what were the things the Eels needed to improve most to make the second half of the season better, the Parramatta coach couldn't help cracking a momentary half smile. "How long have you got?," Kearney said.

The Eels coach then returned straight to coaching mode, stating simply: "There are a number. "For us, we've got to break it right back. The last month of footy for us has been positive for us. From a defensive point of view, tonight, we got a lot of pressure put on us. And I thought apart from a couple of softish tries the defensive line held out most of the time."
Kearney reinforced he was happy with the last month of Eels football but conceded last night was a step "backwards".

Kearney loses ground
IT MUST be hard for Stephen Kearney knowing at least part of the Eels board is lobbying against him - and he's in danger of losing more support. There are significant figures at the Eels hell-bent on him being shown the door - and, as we first told you a few weeks back, bringing in Ricky Stuart. The campaign will heat up in coming days now that Eels chairman Roy Spagnolo is in town. Kearney needs to keep winning - it's as simple as that. Any further stumbles and he will lose those who support him in the boardroom. Kearney's biggest supporter is head sponsor Glenn Duncan of Pirtek, but as we explained, there is another sponsor waiting to jump on board, which may lessen Duncan's influence.

Yep, it's been a positive month. 2 byes, a loss against a Dragons side who are struggling in attack, and one good half against a Sharks team who were woeful. Things are really looking up.
