Interesting comments on the NRL Journos podcast.
Essentially saying the managers being vindictive against the Eels was the major deciding factor
Orr brothers manage BA, Dylan and O’Brien
they were pissed at the club for sacking BA, and then further pissed when the coach they represent and pushed tremendously hard to our board to get the job - Hannay - didn’t get it.
Getting Dylan out of the club with basically a revenge plot for taking $$$ out of their wallets.
I don't think this is too far removed from reality to be honest, and this was ultimately going to be the consequence of f**king off the last coach.
As I posted above, I think we're going to curry favour with Isaac Moses now. I can see he is about to have a significant influence on our fortunes going forward...
He has a stable of talent to pick from...his biggest client is his cousin and our Captain.
We'll likely sell our soul to the devil, but he is also likely the easiest pathway into Premiership contention.
The reality is, Jason Ryles is f**ken nobody at this stage, but Mitch and Isaac Moses are somebodies when it likely matters.
