Squad succession

[Chipmunk]

You never know. We might have some luck with injuries and the halves might give a shit enough to compete like St George did this year.

Well I didn't think the Dragons were Premiership contenders, but I expected a decent season from them.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

It doesn't take much to change a team's fortunes. Who knows, maybe Norman will finally 'get it' and take things seriously. If Moses goes for instance, he might relish being the main man again.

We had 6 games where we lost by 6 points or less, and a handful more where we lost by penalty goals or conversions. A few less injuries, some positive signings in areas we needed, a bit of luck those games could go the other way or we could end up by losing by more.

We have a bottom 2 forward pack. Well done to Arthur for his recruitment vision.

Feeble sarcasm at best. You'll have to ramp it a notch or two if you want to play in the deathriders sandpit.

Personally tomorrow I'd tell Jennings, French, Hoffman, Takairangi, Moses/Norman, Ma'u and Mannah thanks for your service, but 2019 will be your last at the Eels, your salary is needed elsewhere in 2020.

Why would you tell all of them tomorrow (except Manu) something they were told 2 weeks ago?

No more Timmynator??!!

Well if they've already been told that's a good start.

They may actually put in now, seeing as thou they’re playing for their futures.

Hopefully BA wasn’t forgotten about either.

Well you wouldn’t say anything like that to Manu’s face and expect to live.

Wishing years away, another pastime of Eels fans.

2022 should be even better. It will be the new coaches 3rd and final year and he should be pretty close to having the team he wants. Cant wait.

You are assuming the new coach doesn't get deathridden out before then, right?

 

[84 Baby]

The replacement of that new coach is already getting deathridden

f**kin oath ... 3 yrs is overs at parra ... dont outstay your welcome merkins

I think we will do ok in 2019

We had a lot of guys (compared to other sides) play in the 2017 world cup, and as a side we were flat first 6-10 rounds or so

Look at Storm, they had a lot of players in the WC as well, and were doing crap early on, won a couple of tight lucky games. Though we had more injuries

Ferguson, and Paulo will make a huge difference. Mahoney could be a god send at no9, Kaysa injury free as well. Just those 4 players will make a huge difference like nothing else

Need money men, Moses, Norman to step up and we will do surprisingly well. If MJ is around he needs to get his head space right and repay us for his 2018 nightmare

wait and see, not ruling us out having a great year, not yet

 

[Eelogical]

So, anyone want to offer thoughts on Mennings 2018 season and why he had a fizzer? Did he feel that he didn't have enough confidence in those around him in defence so he did things he wouldn't normally do or was he just shit like the rest of the team?

BA probably got French to slip a note under his door.

One way to get him off the books.

A French letter?
