Rumours and Stuff

Sure, I am not saying I would have announced it either. I am just saying that for the last 2 weeks they have been called incompetent for not even chasing him. Then when we find out they have been, they are called incompetent anyway.
I'm sensing you might be too close to the board to see and assess such things dispassionately?

Willie is a grub.

At the 2022 GF I was at a NRL corporate function at the game and all he did on stage was bag off the parra fans up there on stage and the club before the match.

It was truly a disgrace from an NRL official function for a paid guest speaker to be taking potshots at fans was disgraceful becasue of who they support.

Sterlo was also on stage did his best to be diplomatic. But Mason was a downright disgrace.

Can't stand that knuckle dragger he is our generation of Spud Carol

I'm not fussed on Bennet. Of course I would of been happy if he come but he doesn't seem like he sticks around for more then 3yrs. Did f**k all with Newcastle. His last stint at Souths was good but it also was an excellent squad.

I'd be happy with a young guy and just give them 3yrs and see how go. Yes its a gamble but I am ok with that.

Bennett's a mercenary. he won't stick around because he doesn't want to pay the cost of his success.

Yeah, just listened as well.
They acknowledge there are much deeper development and R&R problems that go beyond coaching.
But but but they trained the house down in the pre-season. Toughest pre-season ever. Went on multiple get aways. Even hid Cartys bag...
They were waxing lyrical on what a great, tough and different pre-season it was and all the talk was we would be back in the semis...
I guess shouldn't read too much into their reports..
They gave me a semi...now I need viagara

Lol cant remember.

Lane was one to be replaced by doorey.

they wanted boods at 14 so another forward gone
Matto coming back was another

Can't remember the last one. They also said give guymer a run

I listen to them coz they talk parra but i mostly am arguing with the podcast cos i don't agree with them

James Graham on NRL360 is perplexed about us being so public about failing to get Bennett. It’s a fair point.
“Hey we just sacked our coach. FYI, we tried for Bennett but failed.”
Why make so much noise unless we have someone lined up?

Because true or not it makes it appear that they had a plan in place, and weren't just knee jerking with the sacking

They definitely wear rose colored glasses when they watch pre-season training.

Yet their man was extended after winning the spoon. A phenomena that wouldn't happen anywhere in world sport.
Absolute madness that even happened. It defies logic..typically a coach would be punted then and there.
Will say this. BA thanks for your time as coach of the Eels. You did good for the most part. The last 18 months have been very poor...have some rest now and get an assistants role somewhere in the future. He will need to reinvent himself if he is to go again

When he was appointed we were bottom 4, when he was sacked we are bottom 4 and we have won NOTHING.
