Parramatta Eels set to axe Nathan Hindmarsh in $1.5M cleanout

As a neutral ;

Parramatta should not axe Hindmarsh , Smith or Poore , rather then play some bullshit out in the media , drop all their coin on incentive based contracts , easy in theory? ok if you say practically it will fail at worst their contracts are payed out , let em sit on sidelines or sign for someone else. Burt shouldve gone 5 years ago

Parramatta have the roster for top 4

Parramatta players seem disinterested

Coach Kearney is yet to be proven

You guys are gaining a big losing culture , it will almost be embarrassing to "lose" to Parramatta soon.

The fans , although you guys have a large contingent of bandwagon must stay true now more then ever ,get your brothers cousins gf's ect ect at the games. Boycotting the game is like saying "my mother took great care of me for a long time the last few years she been sick im going to throw coins at her and leave" ok maybe a bit fair fetched but the point was reached the Eels are a very important cog in the scheme of things

Final though , Kearney needs to start again , take them away from training for a week , no army camps nothing like that , take them on a holiday for a few days , get there minds out of the gutter be fresh and make em love each other again , those Eels boys are not looking fresh in any start of the game , if anything buy the 25minute you watch the forwards struggle to get back onside Sk must hammer em!

Are you on the 3P books Muzza?

Let sleeping dogs lie!

Lets turn our back on the extreme 3P backstabbing of Daniel Anderson?

Don't you think everything should be brought to a head and everyone involved brought to account for the rotten acts of 3P, particularly Roy?

"yep...thought about this last night and it pains me to say it but I have to agree, it almost brings me to tears thinking like this but he's a spent force, a shadow of himself and a tired man."

So should I make a mountain out of a mole hill now just because you are "emotional" Muzza? Should I slant this comment of yours as "the Muzzas of this world......."?

Maybe Hindy, Burt & other oplayers would be playing so much better if they had an honest good club behind them?

Maybe we would have good fans behind the club, even during very dark periods like the one we all experienced (the fans boos etc) on Friday night vs Panthers, if they had an honest above board bunch of directors behind the club which they felt proud of supporting?

you're a f**kwit :lol:...maybe!!!...if you're brother was your mother he's be your aunty, let it go you idiot..

in answering your question and I can't believe I'm doing this, but 3P no longer exists, I'm not on the pay roll and as I've told another another forumite during the week, I don't know the directors that well nor do I have any contact numbers of any of people concerned...

try again idiot.

Hayne is definitely not bigger than the club and in my opinion won't regain that 09 form again.

just my opinion.

With less speed (probably not too much less), he will still have a different type of "Wally Lewis" superstar like form ---- when he finally gets his brain around being the 6 he really is and can do --- with lots of NRL practise at 6.

but hey! let's get rid of Roy! that will fix it!!

Stagger, I don't mean to burst your bubble, but I have spoken to a few eels officials, and they all tell me the same thing.

The club is in an absolute mess, from the top right down to the juniors, and Roy and his mates have NFI.

Our club won't be sorted out, till the office is right.

it wasn't just hayne though the whole team stepped up a gear in 09

THIS

Thanks in part to Daniel Anderson.

This style of game is the EELS MOJO - with Hayne at 6 or 1, we should be harnessing it and taking it to another level. We were never meant to be robots. Hayne can't play like a Robot = a once in a lifetime player comes along and we chain him to a Robot game plan. We should be building our strengths around the REAL strengths of our players, particularly our best player...

well I'm not denying it's not in a mess, but if you think players will automatically play better if we a change at the top than get those few eels to run at the next ellections...please I beg you do it!!!...maybe we can get casper to do the same if he finally gets out of his cubby house in the southern highlands.

Mate please don't misquote me. I'm not expecting the players to play better under different administration.

I just don't think the board should be putting all theirs eggs in 1 basket, ie SK

Problem is that a lot of those offloading players are not at the club anymore I.e cayless, Mateo, inu, grothe

ok, so are you saying that we shouldn't give SK full autonomy at football level or are you saying that we shouldn't extend his contract..??

I'm trying to understand what you mean about "eggs in basket"

What is the difference between the players at the eels and any other club. Why can't we build towards a structured like attack and defense like those f**khead teams like the storm and manly. They are consistent and we to be any good have had to rely on offloads. Offloading footy is good to watch but it does not come off all the time then there goes your consistency. You can all bitch and moan about the storm robbing us of a premiership, but were are the sitting now. The culture and structure that has been enstilled into these players has enabled them to continue their dominance even post the salary cap scandal.

players like Poore, Smith, Burt and Shakelton are probably expected.

Poore has come off the bench and Shakelton has played for wenty all year. Mannah, Allgood and Fui are good enough IMO to accommodate a jnr or cheeper option as replacement

Our backrow is sh*t and we need to add some strike power there

We could also do with the addition of some depth out wide.

1.8 Million could get you 2 quality backrower, 1 quality back and 2 no frills forwards (one prop and one backrower).

Couple of points;
1. I think we will soon discover that PO back ended alot of contracts and there will not be $1.8m available to purchase players.
2. The threads continual point the blame in the direction of Roy and yes he might be the Chairman but is only 1 vote on board.
3. What about the other faceless people on the Board who sway depending on public opinion.
4. Two Directors (one former) instigated the DA sacking and SK recruitment and are now having that person on radio telling people that it was not the case.
5. The SK 5 year plan and Academy is fantasy land stuff, Hasler has already proven that with good coaching and preparation players and teams can improve. Our U/16 and U/18 are not in the top 8 for the first time in over 10 years, the U/18 got beat by C/Coast yesterday.
6. Yes, perhaps the Board have to accept some of the blame, but the coach is the one who coaches the team, prepares the team, picks the team.
7. Performances on the field are a reflection of preparation, coaching and player attitude..... all ingredients missing at present!

We need change in our playing and coaching ranks, 2012 is over before it really started!

Point 1 is absolutely spot on.

Hence what I was trying to say to SDM

The board have put faith into a rookie coach, when it's obvious it's not working and he either requires help or needs replacing.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

The board have made mistakes, and it's not too late to turn things around. They are now the ones that have to show us how big theirs balls are, and make the right call.... btw extending SK stay at this stage won't be the right call.

So, what IS the right call?

yeah the coach needs to shoulder the blame but i don't think it's solely his fault that our club is broken right now. i don't know how true any of the media speculation is but at the end of the day everyone from the board room to the players to the coaching staff has a job to do and should be held accountable for what they should be (or aren't) doing.

1 spot on...
2 again...spot on
3 spot on again...
4 take note casper, there is your answer...now can someone remind me if Glen Duncan was part of 3P??
5 that's argueble but again you could be proven correct, the form and committment of our NYC side is proving that these blokes are doing something right even though other people aren't interested in anything below fg.
6. yep..
7 yep again.
