It's clear that the head of Tigers let him go because the coach wanted him to go. He also let De Sylva go. Just like we lost Tuilagi and Ethan Sanders under Brad Arthur.

The coach asks, the head of football delivers, in complete contrast to whatever shitspiel Poupou has been spieling.

The coach and Head of Football must work in unison for a succesful club.

The coach knows what sort of football and the style of player he wants to deliver his vision and the HOF's job is to bring the players to the coach's vision
Don’t pretend I said the coach has no input. I said he isn’t in charge of it. He obviously has some input. He says who he wants and who he doesn’t want. He probably gives his assessment of the player’s maximum value as well. But he doesn’t scout players, he doesn’t negotiate contracts, and he doesn’t decide how much the club is able or even willing to pay.

The coach determines everything and if he doesn't he's lost control of his own destiny


If the coach has no say in selection policy it's like you'e going down the Heysen Tunnels in Adelaide without brakes

Coach has to work out who's on his side.

We gave up two of the prime of our youth coming through for two of the detritus spawn of Arthur.

We could have a contested series of big game experience compare and contrast instead we've got the left behind's of Brad and his family

You know what, Poupou, I don't care one iota for your Arthurs or what you've got to say on their account.

I'm just so glad we're done with them you and your baggage.

I look forward to 2026 without you, Brad and Drown

I rated Sanders before he left our club but he has done f**k all at the Raiders, including in reserve grade. I rated Talagi too and he has been better, but his defence still isn’t NRL standard. He missed six tackles yesterday.

You're an albatross about our neck

Pou, you know when I'll accept you as equal?

When you'll narrate an experience that wedded you to in love with Eels.


It's so easy but you can't do it

All you have to do is narrate a simple story abut when you first fell in love with the Eels.

No one finds this hard.


All you have to do is a dot point minimal account of why you you love the Eels
