question..because i understand we're all experts in coaching at NRL level, but if the HC implements a game plan and the players fail to execute it than who do you blame??

If the players fail to execute, they are to blame! But who do you blame if the 17 players fail to execute on 4 consecutive occasions?????

You'd have to blame the players, but you'd also have to question whether the coach communicated the game plan properly to them, and/or whether he chose a game plan that the players would be able to effectively carry out.

ok ok...so we're looking at an each way bet here..

I could see poupou target the players whilst someone like sparton would target the coach...

and whether he chose a different game plan from the one that failed last week

Unlike Anderson, this coach will leave the club in better shape than he found it in. Whether he's gone next week, next year or in ten years time.

How's Anderson's side going these days? How about all the clubs caught up in a bidding war for his services?


Says who, some puppet living in Melb. Like I said before, SK may be using Bellamy's five year plan, spoke about the academy and his mate fooled the board, which probably wouldn't of been too hard to do.:lol::lol:


In regard to clubs racing to sign DA, it's not like we were in a bidding war with a rival club, to secure SK's services.

And lets face it, if SK was sacked today, tomorrow or next month, I think that would be the end of his coaching career.

He would probably end up in Melb, where you could drool over him, face to face, rather than over the net.:lol::lol:

Correct me if Im wrong but was it JT who clashed with Hagan in a press conference and said along the lines of "Smithy is trying to fix what you f****** up".

haha lol mate, they're on the board and you're not.

Keep laughing idiot.

The difference is Kearney has never been sacked by any club. How many clubs have punted Daniel Anderson? And what shape were those clubs in after he left?

Anderson might have learnt how to coach from Brian Smith but he learnt f**k-all about how to build a club.

He would probably end up in Melb, where you could drool over him, face to face, rather than over the net.:lol::lol:

imo success is built on rock solid defense we look disorganized and confused in defense and this is my barometer of a coach. The defensive structure should be ingrained and able to stand up to pressure.This is what lost me. Personally though I think the players share a lot of the blame and deserve to be cleaned out the jersey deserves more respect than what they dished up.

You know your club is ground zero when you're sacking 4 high profile players on the eve of Round 5.

Not that I need to tell you Eels fans this, but I think you had better just let this season go as a bad joke and refresh and regroup for next year, with a new coach and some new talent.

I might be drawing a long bow here, but putting 1.8 million back on the table might just be apart of a massive plan to lure Cooper Cronk.

They're not sacked, they're just not having their contracts renewed at the end of the year.

Every club is doing it, but the papers are aimed at us right now.

Lol. If u actually think we are well coached then u are watching the game thru different eyes to most


I actually don't know if he's a good coach or not because he doesnt seem to have a squad that can compete to execute his game plan...

I'm not the type to blame the coach for the sake of it.
