Matthew Elliott Disappreciation Society

[Caged Panther]

I'm definitely quite proud of this thread. I would have thought it would of died in the ass by now... but really, the club kept it alive through their decision a month or so ago.

There's a Facebook group now... still in its early stages with about 40 members, but that should only grow too!

got a link for that facebook group I've tried seraching for it in the past with no success

You could say this thread has been the most succesful of them all ever on the Penrith Forum.

It is looking like Elliott had lowered the club as a destination for any coach at present.This was said when it looked like he was gone from potential coaches

Anderson i will take a year off then maybe get involved again.Not interested
Kearney want to stay at Melbourne to continue to learn.Not interested

Less than 2 months later the parra position comes open
Anderson has applied and is interested
Kearney has said he will talk after the world cup. But appears interested

Where does that leave us in my opinion we should sell the bridge over the nepean river if that what it takes to get a young fresh coach like kearney

 

[Caged Panther]

Maybe these coaches don't want to deal with the bullsh*t our players seem to keep coming up with?

I heard a rumour that Elliott does his prep work for each training session down on one knee in the shower. There was a movie made about it starring Russell Crowe....Romper Stromper.

 

[murraymob]

if the movie was romper stomper it must have been humprey bear as the star.No seems to hear the game plans

 

[murraymob]

it may be common knowledge in your community fibro but not in mine. :lol::lol:

 

[murraymob]

my replacement for Elliott was Kearney and still my first choice but after seeing the PNG side tonight .I have to say Adriam Lam has done a great job.Considering the level of player they have they gave the poms a fright. He looks the goods and a good replacement for elliott

 

[Fibroman]

Lam couldn't train a choako vine over a carport.

Penrith have historically always been unable to attract high quality players and coaches. It was formerly to do with the location (and it still does in a way), but over time, politics and performances on the field have become reasons too.

I am currently reading Men In Black, which is a way in a re-hash of Bound For Glory from what I've read so far (I'm up to the mid 70's), and it pretty much states all the rubbish that went on then - and really, nothing has changed since.

petero would be the best ever buy for penrith.

 

[Fibroman]

Petero must have had 24 beers on board when he was negotiating and signing the contract.

 

[Pantha-Boy]

Haha.
Nearly there guys.
Come on 5 more!

Correct i lived though half that sh#t and nothing has changed they still don't have a clue of how to run a club or manage a winning team.

 

[choc_soldier]

Would definitely be up there. Chris Mortimer in 1988 from what I've read and been told was a master stroke too.

But really, the signing of Petero was the fluke of the century.

 

[murraymob]

the best buy is always a tough tag to give out

Peter kelly on of the toughest hardest footballers to wear our jersey
Chris mortimer brought a level of hardness to our club

But i rate marty lang as the best before he came there was no mongrell in the team.I still shake my head at the high shots he took.Only to get straight back up and run again

But in keeping with this thread we know who it is not

 

[maple_69]

So just doing some math.
Penrith 07 Side = Wooden Spoon
Penrith 07 Side + Civ = 12th
Penrith 07 Side + Civ - Priddis, Puletua, Wesser, Rodney, Rooney = ....

Well I think Priddis was the best signing of my lifetime. I saw him as our most consistent performer prior to 08 season and I blame Elliott for a lot of things that happened this year.
Time will only tell the impact Civ can have, if he can pull us up the ladder and stick with us for another 2/3 years perhaps he'll be up there with the other guys.

Me too i like Martin Lang and what he did for us on the field, you could hit him with a brick and he would still get up and keep coming at you.

Other good buys that i saw over the years for Penrith who made an impact Mike Stephenson, Daryl Brohman, Peter Kelly, Chris Mortimer, and Ryan Girdler from Illawarra.
