You couldnt have bought a plate of chips at Wenty RSL for what we spent on them dipsh*t.
We were never going to do anything this year. We couldnt attract talent to the halves - not that any was going around, we lost Cayless and injury plagued Poore never stepped up. Then Tahu and Grothe left in the off season, leaving us scrambling for scraps - hence Walker and Whatuira.
I like what Kearney has done with the side. The forwards are playing without the flippant rubbish that we were trying with Maitua, and we are competing. Bad luck, lack of confidence, dumb plays - 6 of the last 7 or 8 losses we led within sight of the bell - I think the Dragons game was the only one of them we didnt lead with 5 mins to go. That robbed us of 11 points. Those go our way and we are one point outside the top 4.
To be that close to better sides, with a poor roster, is a credit to Big Face. So is the re-appearance of Maitua. We havent had a coach since John Monie who has pulled the guts of the club together like that. We have a good future.
So Brian Smith did nothing in his time at the Eels?
You can't give him credit for anything can you?
I agree with all your other points though.
