Rumours and Stuff

Some years were pretty good.
Every year under this other guys was absolutely miserable.

Also, without BA we may have never played in the most exciting game this decade:

SPOONBOWL!!!!

Who knows what they might of done with 11 seasons?? Who knows what anyone would have done?? I just know that besides early 2016 when we were cheating the cap I never ever felt we were a chance of winning anything under Baldie. Well besides a spoon of course.

They've proven it with their records since then - NOTHING.

Stuart has done at least the same as Arthur and I would argue with quite a bit less. Kearney was utter garbage but he’d still be here if Pou had his way.

I don't think Stuart has done any better at all, but maybe Pou will resurrect a previous Stuart vs Arthur analysis if it exists.

I’m not sure if I’m looking at the side through blue and yellow goggles or if Jimmy/RTP have no idea. If we finish 10-11th like they’re predicting I’ll be very disappointed. I don’t understand what they mean by the side not having talent. Seems fine to me.

Realistically it’s hard for people to imagine a team that could hardly beat their own dicks last season improving to make the 8

Fair enough because it isn’t a common thing for teams to improve that much in the course of one off-season.

However I agree I think we are more than capable of making the 8, especially in a year where it appears on paper to be closer than ever. The more the media right us off the better imo, hopefully we can catch other teams off guard also.

I did say he hasn't done any worse with less, Arthur fluked a prelim and jagged and a win and got embarrassed. Stuart had made 3 prelims and a GF in which his team almost won. Both are prettyaverage Stuart rightfully cops it deluxe on here but Bea Arthur is some sort of sacred cow.

Mate, I'd probably argue the reverse but it's just a difference of opinion.

I think we can agree they both are plodders.

Wait so BA teams never touched a ball during preseason ?

Eels Pre-Season Training - February 4, 2022: A “Hazey” Morning With The Chance of Ice

It’s not unusual for wingers to provide highlight moments during a training session. Given that opposed work is a type of match simulation, there will be opportunities created for the fast men out wide. There will be spectacular finishes, and conversely a big defensive play from a winger might also

By now most of you would have watched Project PARRAdise. As a behind the scenes look into one of the preseason experiences for the players, it ticked many boxes. It was evident from the footage that this was an unexpected overnight camp for the squad. The playing squad and extended staff travelled

Hasn't Matterson already taken up his option?

Yep no one wanted him so he quickly activated it.

Depends on how many games we get out of him.

For a bloke that only plays two-thirds of the season i would say his on more then what his market value currently would be.
