I think the timing of all this sure is uncanny however I think the eels have missed the boat with Lewis. I find it hard to believe sticky would be the reason Lewis heads to parra. Besides its a shit fight to commute to parra from the shire

No coach would want to risk going to the eels.

Sticky to the Raiders.

Eels to find anyone desperate enough to have a crack.

Dymock maybe?

Not to mention that they are now going to go into the biggest of rebuilds and that is something Lewy specifically doesn't want to be part of. Or so he says

RCB mentioned something about a clause in his contract and smart move by his manager .... whats the go. As usual I missed it.

The clause was that he was guaranteed a years pay if he didn't see out the contract.

So, the Eels are into him for $500k

Who did Ando white ant to get the Roosters gig? Was that Freddie? Freddie who is mates with Sticky? Hard to believe Opes and Sticky would get on yet Opes is already at the Eels.

Sticky to the Raiders. There ya go.

Not sure on the Sticky/Opes man love but the 8 degrees of separation from Gus to Eels...

There is a rumour that a sought after rugby league forward from the west was seen being wined and dined at this joint tonight.

If Lewis goes to the eels, that give 4 players on over $500k a year when Hopoate arrives to join Hayne & Sandud.

The rest of the 25 man squad will be made up of players on the base salary.

Yeah the clause was the second year.

As to what spider said about performance and positioning, would you lay the 2nd last place finish of 09 squarely at Ricky's feet?

Obviously not. Extenuating circumstances involved.

There may have been more going on at parra than just bad coaching.

However Anderson would have had an opinion to give to his bosses about the head coach.
They definitely would have asked him to assess Kearney in terms of prep, game planning etc.


And now he's gone...

Good coaches in this league have bad seasons. They're still good coaches.

I'd say Kearney definitely was not and the nail in te coffin would have been the opinions of a former Australian player and coach.
