@Noise did you out who on this site wants BA's contract extended ? I don't think BA's mum would even be in his corner right now.

Anyway, as you crazy bastards were.

For the most part, civility has been maintained. I'd go as far as suggesting to let it slide for a week then send in a forensic team to assess the damage.

So if we aren’t planning extending him, why we going in 19 with him as head coach? It’s not like he’s set the world on fire the previous 5 years. Or jagged us a comp

Just a thought. Can you substitute 'nuthugger', 'deathrider' and 'exciting' for other words when they are used on here?

My concerns aren’t about moving a player. My concerns are about moving 3/4 of our spine in a season. Plus a centre. All 4 would probably have a combined salary of 2.5-3 million. If that’s not a concern I don’t know what is.

Yeh but you keep arguing against points that I haven't made.

Why would we need to offer more money to Hayne? Its not like he is in huge demand from any other club and he is injury prone. If I was running the club I'd offer $400k take it or good bye. To me that is good value for money.
I was originally sceptical about Haynes' return to Parra, but now I think we really need him to be part of our 2019 campaign. He showed me enough on the field and off it this season to justify a signature.. If he wants to be an Eel and his asking price is fair then lets do what it takes to keep him.

How hard is it? Here is what the chairman had to say:

“Last year he makes the top four and this year we’re not doing anywhere near as well as we would like. But the team are playing for him, we’ve seen that in the last seven weeks.

“He hasn’t dropped the ball. He’s a young coach, he’s resilient and he’s about learning.
"From my perspective and the rest of the board and Bernie, he deserves an opportunity to correct the ledger in 2019."
“He will get that opportunity.”

He will get the opportunity to improve the teams' fortunes. They'll assess him on whether he does that sufficiently, and work out whether they want to offer a renewal.

I just realised the other day that Hayne’s last 4 seasons as an Eels player has seen him collect 3 wooden spoons...

I'd assume that paying out his contract would tear up enough dollars for a start. Also, it's not like there are more respected coaches on the market that would jump at the chance for 2019. The catch 22 for next year is that if we lose the first 6 games the calls for his head will deafening. If he gets us to the finals or better, the decision will have to be made to offer an extension or part company. Whichever way it goes, the huggers V riders war will continue with new found vigour.

Sorry baz, I’ve just had enough of him in 18 to warrent anything more. The team selections, tactics or lack of and just no overall improvement has left a sour taste in my mouth. I’d love to be proven wrong and for the eels to be firing in 19, but I can’t see it happening.
