Parramatta Eels Holden Cup

[IN THE KNOW]

These kids always play in successful HM's or SGB squads, why are they so shit when they get to the NYC???

I hope this is one of the things the new "structure" is going to fix!

Have a look at the coaches record , self explanatory, he coaches the footy out of them.

So why is he going to be running the academy?

Good Question, he is ok at coming up with drills to develop a skill, but because he never played the game he cant get the things right for a team to function & 18/20 year olds dont like to be treated like school kids which
all our 20s coaching staff are school teachers.

Well I have been very critical of him in the past as I don't rate him, then I am usually yelled down for being critical of him........seems a little of a protected species.......

 

[Parra09]

Someone shoudl ask Kearney whether he actually met his new 20's coach yet........ someone might be surprised at the response.......

Jobs for the boys at Parra at 2012........ thats our new 'structure'.....

So was one of our most successful coaches. 'Playing the game' has never been a prerequsite. Thats one of the major problems with our game today. We seem to think that if you never 'played' the game at the highest level, that you dont know anything about it. That is the sort of thinking that belongs in lesser sports.......... or in the minds of lesser followers :sarcasm:

Whether he played first grade or not doesn't affect a coach's knowledge of the game but it does influence how much respect he commands from the players.

That's why coaches with limited first grade experience always seem to struggle with personality clashes - because they lose the respect of the players far too easily.

Should it matter to the players whether the coach has played first grade? No it shouldn't.

But these are footy players; some of the dumbest, most uneducated, egotistical people on the planet. They're very picky about who they'll listen to.

Reading a Roy Masters article today, I was thinking did Roy Masters ever play top level league ?

Masters had NO experience at the top level. He was a SCHOOL TEACHER.

One of the finst coaches never to have won a premiership would disagree....

Thanks for that. Knew Masters liked league from his background, but didn't realise how much passion he had for the game until I read this article and the few hints for the love of the game he gave;

But as we approached No.1 oval, it was if someone had driven a stake through my heart.​

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Probably why he never won a premiership. Same as Brian Smith and Daniel Anderson.

You reckon Masters didn't struggle to assert himself with some players?

Pretty silly if Kearney hasn't met him but I would imagine the new coach has good credentials?

I thought he had complete control? This would mean over coaching staff too, would it not? Very strange if true.......

Your choice of words shows you up to be just another failed club politician (or a friend/relative of one) with an axe to grind.

So I don't trust a word you say. And even if your facts are right, your assessment of them isn't.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I'm confused.

Would SK have the final say in who is appointed to coach the 20's?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Depends on what he agreed to when he took the job.

Not all coaches have the same level of authority at each club.

Coached Australian Schoolboys to England in 72..Had good success with school teams At Tamworth in the University Shield..

We were told total control!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Then he probably does.

Who told you that anyway?
