i voted yes,but not because of last nights game, he should have been sacked a year ago.

last year i thought that everyone expected to much of us in regards to the playing roster we had, when we signed thorman and cannings etc.we all got so excited and talked these players up on their potential - and when they didnt live up to their potential we all said that our team is underperforming, when really our team was simply just crap, we didnt have a good side on paper.
This year however is different - look at all the stars in our team...players that have proved they are among the best in the game -riddel, tahu, morrison, marsh,hindmarsh add to that solid players/seasoned first graders such as stringer,morris and cayless and the excitment of tim smith and eric grothe and we are probably in the top 4 playing rosters. i dont see the bulldogs, broncos or the storm with completely star studded line ups, but their coaches all have the abiltiy to coach the team that they have successfully. they make do with what they have. any other coach would love the opportunity to have a playing roster like ours this year. it is brian smiths job to get these 17 players working as a unit. why cant he do that? our team just seems so far off the pace, and i would go as far to say that we a boring to watch? when was the last time we beat an average team comprehensively? when was the last time we had a game wrapped up at half time? when was the last time when we dominatedthe first 25mins of a game (such as last night) that it showed on the scoreboard?
I know im rambling, i know its proabably all been said before and to tell u the truth i dont even know what im trying to say??? ive followed the eels for the 21 years of my life and will always follow them, but i think that every eels fan has to admit that there is something seriously wrong with our club. we arent exciting, we dont have any structure, it seems that we go with the flow. its as if when we play it nots parra vs the other team, instead its our 17 players vs the other team (if u get what i mean).
sorry for this post
