Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Cleary, just like SK made some absolutely dreadful decisions in recruitment. And they were called out for it, at the time. Not sure anyone assumed. Just because they have a job as a first grade coach, doesn’t mean they didn’t make mistake or fans weren’t right for calling out the stupid decisions made.

The alternative, for those clubs at that time, to signing players on overs would be not signing any players at all.

"Called out" by a bunch of deadshit fans who know better. Get your hand off it.

Mate I'm in my mid-40s, a third generation Eels fan. I saw Kenny play, both live and on TV.

Mate, like I have said before you only notice the boring little things(over value) which Kenny was also great at, but hardly notice(undervalue) the spectacular things that Kenny was the best at. Hence your love of the average plodder.

Actually I don't notice them, because like you I'm a nuffy who's there to be entertained.

The boring little things, that coaches and players talk about as the things fans don't notice, are only evident in the stats, or on video later when you look for it.

Call it what you like. Sometimes some signings just don’t work out, but other times they’re just outrageous.

whether you like it or not, sandow, Reynolds, mybe, roberts, Webb, walker and so on were all signings of desperation

The late, great Jack Gibson said that he noticed he coached better when he had better players.

I’m sure jack wished he could of been around to coach the likes of sandow and Reynolds

You'd be desperate too if you were coaching at those clubs.

Reynolds was a quality first grader. He was just on too much. Sandow was a f**king disaster, though Wayne Bennett said he rated him. Some high potential players don't work out, regardless of who's coaching them.

I think the Tigers struggle to attract good players. Hence why they sign discards for overs.

Remember the days of Carl Webb, Chris Walker etc ? Good times.

Super coach SK

the only tigers player i'd feed would be the fullback. even nofoaluma looks to have regressed

Or signing young up and coming juniors and a few old heads who are experienced and have good attitudes but pass their best.

Luciano is a poor man’s Pangai. Don’t get fooled by him being less lazy than his brother

Luciano Leilua is an awful defender, but he's good with the ball in his hands.

Tbh I'd rather a player who can play on both sides of the ball.

Too much sideways running for my liking. Shaun bore or whatever his name is has potential

Not mybe and Reynolds 800k/year desperate

Plus has a shit name and shit hair.

Even Gould had some pretty poor signings during his initial few years in charge at panthers…….”desperate” signings like Kearney and Cleary had eels/tigers…

Blore has had one “good” game when he didn’t put up with Nrown’s shit last year.

Top post. He f**ked you here Pou. You have been celebrating mediocrity since you joined here.

Do you think BA could get some consistency out of him? I have my doubts but a big gamble that might come off. BA has shown he can modify and improve players behaviour and also the other players may contribute to this. Depends what donkeys want to throw into kitty but if pick up for $200k might be a gamble worth taking.

BAs game plan will always be big bodies charging at defender not spaces. TPJ is someone who loves the collision. Seems a perfect fit to me. Sharon Woods is another BA is reported to be keen on. Big bodies and collisions is where it's at.
