Rumours and Stuff

Clearly it's the coach. Just like Dragon's Flanagan has cast adrift old hands who gave their all to the red V.

Yet the media won't roast Flanagan for his flagrant roasting of Dragons legacy

Why?

Because the people reporting on these merkins are spiritually relateded and just as misbegotten

Parra does the right thing for RCG and Gutho: hell, hatestorm, where's the legacy?!

Dragons under Flanagan let go a 200 game stalwart: best thing, good decision, whistling dixie

How are league journos taken seriously?

We're going to be a league Titan in 2026

Bring back the music videos ffs

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.

The rest of the NRL disgusts me. They're all the beneficiaries of an elite refereeing standard not granted us

How is this not every one else?

I know Panthers won but this if for next year.

Media stream is all headline without any nuance.

 

[Parrapat]

I love Eels

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Unlike what Poupou misconstrues and misdirects we lost Ethan Sanders because Brad Arthur was shoring up halfback for his 4th grade son and told the HOF who to get

Jake Arthur left the club long before Ethan Sanders.

It's incredible how huge the Pixies are

 

[Parrapat]

They're so huge they're gigantic

Jake Arthur left the club long before Ethan Sanders.

Ethan Sanders left on account of Jake Arthurs repeat selections ahead of him

Sanders was still playing SG Ball when Jake Arthur played his last game for us.

 

[Parrapat]

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

 

[Poupou Escobar]

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

 

[Parrapat]

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
