Luke Burts back

[Kornstar]

It's his f**king aura we miss - his presence lifts everyone around him.

His absence obviously has the opposite effect. That's the price you pay for having a superstar in your team.

Melbourne lost a grand final 40-0 without Cam Smith, yet won the grand finals before and after that one when he did play.

Melbourne lost that game because the coach and CEO whined to anyone who would listen all week about the injustice, rather then actually focusing on winning the biggest game of the year!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Or maybe they lost bcause Bellamy can't coach?

Hang on, wasn't Kearney at the club at the time? Might've been his fault.

Bellamy has proven that he can coach and also get the best out of solid or average players.

Kearney must be a great assistant, he has shown nothing as a head coach as yet though.

He's probably like Bellamy's players. Listen to everything he says and perform their role, but as soon as they go to another club they're f**ed.

Rather ironic that they were cheating massively!

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I still don't know how the players/managers/coaches got away with it. They knew what was going on.

When did he prove that?

And Hoffman just took a year off elsewhere then came back and signed for less to pursue his championship dream again.

Melbourne never got punished properly, but had they been punished properly, the club would have either folded, or been so crap nobody followed them anymore.

As much as I hate the cheats, we need 'em down there...

Nah f**k them off, f**k New Zealand off and get rid of all the Queensland teams. They can all get f**ked.

f**ken NRL.. I reckon even the NSWRL is too big. Let's go back to an all-Sydney competition. With our next round of expansion we could have 18 teams in the inner west.

Bring back Glebe.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

It was better when it was just the Sydney teams. No doubt about that.

At least then you could go to every game I guess.

 

[Eels Dude]

We should have an all Sydney comp but base it in Perth so Poupou can be a blue stadium seat expert as opposed to an armchair expert.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Nah you guys are the real experts.

Don't forget we beat Manly because we threw more offloads.

 

[Stagger eel]

Geez pou, you appear a little rattled mate or maybe just frustrated.. I think a golden run starting from Sunday isn't going to save this bloke, even from the masses in here.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I agree.

Picking Burt is the sign of a desperate man. Once he's more concerned about public opinion than sticking to his guns he's gone.

It's a shame because I think we've been strong these past three weeks. We've just had the bad luck to come up against two of the best defensive teams this season.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

The tigers will have awesome defense this week. As will every team we come up against this year. It's just our bad luck I guess.

 

[Kornstar]

When did he prove that?

You are joking, right?

You think SK is a good coach but you question Craig Bellamy?

I really have heard it all now......

 

[Maroubra Eel]

It's not as simple as looking at wins and losses.

It's about plans and structures and academies and stuff too you know.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You are joking, right?

No I asked you a question.

I agree he has proven his coaching ability, but I wanted to know at what point in his career he 'proved it' to you.

You think SK is a good coach but you question Craig Bellamy?

No I'm questioning you.

I really have heard it all now......

I'm sure you have. I just doubt whether you understood any of it.

 

[Twizzle]

I disagree with the bold bit

I think picking Esi is more of a sign of desperation.
