I agree about your points on inu and we dont need him/another centre unless someone is release. Just not sure how this cap issue is going to play out.


Thats if there is a cap issue. remember, the same column said 2 paragraphs later that we were chasing Inu.

Triple M - in particular Matty johns - are attempting to make something out of nothing - finally catching onto the theory that any news about the Eels sells IMHO.

No, let's not.

He's had 2 years. He's a dud and has provided a very poor return on our investment.

:arrow:

Well mate, so has Hayne these past two years. Let's hope he and Sandow contribute more over the next two.

Then you can be happy to be wrong to your smug heart's content.

Hayne has had a bad run with injuries. Yet when he takes the field, he contributes at 80%+ effort. Accordingly he can hold his head high.

Sandow should be ashamed of his efforts. Keaney signed a player who is not mentally capable of playing our professional sport at a high level on a weekly basis.

He hasn't stopped us being able to put some quality players around him next year, including massive earners Hayne and Hopoate.

He topped our team for try assists this year despite only playing 15 games. But he does need to sort out his off field shit and get back to playing the way we know he can. Because we need his running and kicking game.

Mate, teams aren't built around erratic players like sandow. I can't see us ever being a force with him in the 7.

Signing him was stupid, Regardless of the $$$. Hopefully he sorts his shit out, and does get back on the field. If we do manage to offload him, it'd probably be best for all parties involved.

He's not capable of carrying a team but how many players are? He shouldn't be expected to do any more than what he was signed to do, which is what he showed in 2010-11.

Are you including the team that take him off our hands? Wouldn't that be a bit ironic.

Forget what he done in 10-11.

In 09, hayne played the best brand of footy maybe ever seen.

After two seasons, sandows signing has been nothing short of a disaster. That's not even taking into account his off field dramas. His signing was a f**king huge gamble. When you think about the money he's on, probably on par with DCE and foran, it's just f**king depressing.

Who knows what he's on really. The only thing we know is that Kearney signed a dud.

BTW, Gronk - that's not a rant at you, but the dipshit journalists and editors of papers and websites.

No but in instances where a coach hasn't delivered then I would expect them to be held accountable. Some metrics which suggest Ricky didn't perform well (accepting that he is not entirely to blame but does need to accept his share of blame):

1. We came last.
2. We played for the most part without any effort.
3. When we had the ball in our hands we rarely displayed that we knew what we were doing.
4. He publicly bagged them all and then wondered why they played without confidence.
5. Our best player openly questioned his decision making (witness Haynes reaction after Stuart told the 12 players they were shit).
6. In every post match media conference he looked to blame everyone other than himself.
7. He let his emotions cloud his judgement (witness that ludicrous spray of the refs after one of our games).
8. Not once in any interview or article of his that I have read has he ever spoken as intelligently about the game as Bennett, Sheens, Gould, Robinson, Maguire or even Gorden Tallis.

I agree that the players also need to accept blame as well and equally a strong club would hold them accountable.

My original point was the strong clubs hold people accountable for poor performance - ideally this should include coaches, players and even the guy who cleans the s-bends.

Where has this SENSE been all along?
Why do you hide it only to share it sparingly?
I miss your SENSE?

Thanks Casper.

I'll try to write some more serious posts every now and then. I normally spend a lot of time at work every day being serious so sometimes I just come on here for shits and giggles.
