Stephen Kearney and Parra

[CrazyEel]

Keating goes alright. He was one of our best best performers today, and was one of our best performers last week too. He's one guy that doesn't deserve to be a scapegoat over our last two losses.

As you can quite obviously tell I just don't agree with your assessment.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I thought we were getting some centres next season? I must have been mistaken...

The only outside back guaranteed a spot next year is Wilfred Tonga.

If Morgan is in the first grade team next year anywhere we wont be looking at the top 8 again... Im not saying he will be the reason but if there isnt any better players at the club infront of him next year then yeah we wont be in the 8....

He's a very solid player and he's quick. Kearney rates him - Morgan has played first grade every week he's been available this year, and expect him to figure in first grade calculations next year.

He'll be competing with Atkins, Loko, Burt, Esi Tonga and maybe Sio (not sure of his contract status) for three backline spots, and none of them are guaranteed a place.

Poore and Shack at their best was 3 years ago.... Shack can take up his comedy routine if he wants with the shack attack crap or whatever it is...

Harsh. Shack turns 30 next year so on his way down, but Poore isn't even 27 yet. He's just had a f**ked knee.

The difference is Eels Dude is right and you're wrong, CrazyEel.

Surely you can admit that?

He can't be right because he agrees with you, that is in itself enough proof he is wrong.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

NO, I didn't say that at all, you have been making out Keating is of far more value than he actually is.

No, I'm saying for the role he plays he is more than good enough. You can win a premiership with a hooker like him - Manly did it in 2008.

Like I said in the first place he is a viable stop gap just like Robson but no more.

Robson's not good enough for first grade which is why we let him go. Keating is a solid first grader.

I can't tell that. I'm not a mind reader you know.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Keatings heaps good.

 

[CrazyEel]

I can't tell that. I'm not a mind reader you know.

You can read though can't you? I have clearly stated my opinion over the last 3 pages.

What I hate about SK's rotation is that I think we need Mannah on more.

He starts and he plays the last 20.

He should be on when he has recovered from a short break. He is young.

Shack doesn't do it up front so get Mannah on as quick as possible.

Coach of the year...congtrats on sacking Anderson....master stroke.

Mr Manly Keep Buying Players to win a Comp. How good is Lyon going at 750,000.00 a season.

Master Stroke I don't see your team or any other Nrl team Queing up to signing Supercoach Anderson.

Sk and PN are developing a system which Most successful teams have had since 2005.

Parramatta as club havn't had a system since Brain Smith has gone. Yes SK will be very Successful.

 

[Pazza]

i got faith in SK! He has recruited well (esp a Halfback), improved the teams fitness and blooded and retained many of the talented juniors at our club. While it has been a tough season we all knew we had a weak squad and were going to struggle. SK has been able to recruit and blood players in key positions that the club was weak in, so i do have great hopes next season that we will be a top 8 side!

I hate to say this but I think the market has delivered its verdict on DA. He just hasn't been considered when coaching jobs have come up.

SK needs time. Despite the spoon he's actually done quite well with a poor roster.

How do you define "quite well"? Finishing last?

 

[Delboy]

EelsDde, you need to ask some questions directly of people, and you perhaps would back off a little from your comments.

There are massive changes going on at the club to improve how we operate , expect good things to come from that, we failed dismally in things that underpin performance since BS left. Have faith and you will be rewarded

I agree on that part. But I'd rather wait to see how things pan out before I give those in charge a rap as any fan has the right to do.

We haven't finished yet.

That's the thing mate.
I don't see too many here giving SK a wrap. His supporters are quite rightly suggesting we give him time.
No one is happy about the position we find ourselves in. It was embarressing yesterday having the words "wooden spooners" thrown at us all afternoon.
I for one am highly disappointed with our season. It's been absolutely diabolical results wise. But I can also see what he is trying to achieve, and am prepared to give him time to produce it.
If we are again wooden spooners next year, it will be becoming much clearer that maybe Keaney wasn't the right choice. But until then, I'm not prepared to death ride him.

Suity

To further on from my last point. We keep hearing about changes and structure but we don't hear any specifics about what's going on behind the scenes. The club has really cut back in their interactions with supporters this year. It's great we don't get board leaks any more, but you don't want to cut back on fan interaction to the point where your alienating your supporter base from the club. That'll just come back to bite them when it comes to next year's membership drive.
