Stephen Kearney Should Be Given Another 7 Weeks To Turn Things Around Otherwise.....

[mrpwnd]

You're kidding arent you? Firstly the Raiders notoriously dont play well away and no Matt Orford is going to improve that, but the Tigers are a top 4 side played accordingly last night.

Raiders 'notoriously' don't play well? Is that just an excuse? Home or away teams have an obligation to perform wherever the location and had Raiders fielded Orford on that night the result could've been better, had an absolute shocker he did.

The Raiders wont be far behind them by seasons end. He's a perfect fit for the Raiders. He's 10 times better than Robson, thats for sure.

Oh his career has certainly been 10 times better than Robson, but if you watched the game you'd probably agree that atm he's not much better than Robson. Maybe he will improve as the season goes on, but he's older than Robson and just as unlikely to improve at this point.

Why dont you go and ask the Raiders if they will swap Orford for Jeff Robson and Daniel Mortimer? So two players for the price of one and see what your response will be......

Well if I said Robson and Mortimer sh*t over Orford then I'd gladly go and ask, what I said is that based on Orfords current form he'd have been more of a hindrance for Parra.

Perhaps what I say re: Orford is mostly in hindsight but now that I've seen his form the past 2 games i'm not complaining that the club passed up on him, heck it's better than arguing that Parra should've kept him off of a loose hypothetical and too many 'what ifs'.

Seriously, I know the human race sprung from apes but geez there are a few on here didn't spring too far at all. Never ceases to amaze me just how dumb some people can be yet they still find a way to survive and propagate, so much for the theory of evolution I guess.

Freedom of speech - all men are equal - no one has to perform for another unless contracted/promised to do so.

I concur with my learned colleague: "Shut up, f**kwit!"

Casper reminds me of the dickhead Parra Pete.

Casper`s drug-f**ked; Parra Pete`s just old. :lol:

Casper, have read your post, and still no idea what you are talking about

I'll give you a clue...... it's not written in legalese.

"I'd rather have a team that can attack and score tries and is maybe a little wobbly on defense but has a chance to win a game, than a team that has been trained to play safe, can't win points and, if they don't do well on defense, get slaughtered and have no chance of winning."

So would I, but we`ve only got one attacking player on our roster. Two, if you count Tom Humble - but he`s not available yet. Maybe next year, eh? So shut up about the board, shut up about the 3P (or P3, as you call it) and handle it like the rest of us.
I could just imagine you at my work: we`re chronically under-staffed and under-resourced and often have to deal with complaints from the public that our service isn`t up to scratch. And I can just see you there, carrying on like a whiny little bitch, undermining staff morale even further and sprouting on about how corrupt the powers that be are. You`re a dead-set goose sometimes, Casper.

Casper Ive read all your posts and cannot understand you either.I think you must be buying your vitamins from the same place Cheech and Chong brought theirs .lol :crazy:

 

[IFR33K]

I didn't think posters came dumber than Casper but then you came along like little red riding hood. Dumb!!!!!!!!

You guys are letting your hatred for the current board affect yoursupport for the club. And in the process you're coming up with most idiotic statements ever.

What if and it's a big IF SK starts winning what will you do?

Support the team dickheads!!

Another wanna be keyboard warrior. Well done knob.

I always support the team dipsh*t, I just dont support the decision of appointing a rookie, when it was obvious we needed a tried and tested career coach.

Give yourself a triple.

In reality we scored 5 tries on friday night but 2 were wrongly disallowed ....I can understand the frustration of us having a no - frills attack.....but we can score tries ......the squad on paper is awful ....I don't think being flashy is in their gene pool unfortunately ....

Storm had Bellamy & the best spine in NRL for the past 5 years.

NZ had the best player in the world and a bunch of other world class players around Benji Marshall, who together have clarified their status as world champions in RL.

Now SK has a club without a top class spine and without superstars bar one player who is playing nowhere near his best and it looks like the late last season hamstring injury is still concerning Jarryd. It seems to be holding him back.

If SK does not produce a bunch of wins over the coming 7 rounds it will show that he is a very average coach. The fact that Mannah only played 40 minutes last night shows SK is half asleep at the helm. He also did this same stuff up with Issac Luke in last years Tri Nations Final.

If it wasn't for Benji & the other very good NZ players & if it wasn't for Craig Bellamy and the Storms spine + Inglis, SK would have been shown up a lot earlier as the average coach he appears to be.

I've said it before and will say it again, it is P3 & Paul Osborne who have ripped the spirit of our great footy club apart. They messed with Daniel Anderson making it almost impossible for Daniel Anderson to do his job and this interference began during the early mid part of the 2009 season and only got worse. We are now witnessing this devastation, from seeds to fruits, our team is now the laughing stock of the NRL.

Paul Osborne & P3 sabotaged everything Daniel Anderson planned. The image Daniel Anderson was creating for the Eels was no longer in his image, each time Daniel looked into the mirror of his image there was Paul Osborne & P3.

The problem started at the top and it is there the sharp axe has to swing very hard and very fast ASAP this year.

As SK is now the coach I fully support him as I do with players who pull on the Eels jersey but just as some of our current stock of players are not up to standard and need to be moved on ASAP, the same applies with SK if he does not pull this squad into both an attacking & defensive unit that keeps our team competitive in all games.

I'd rather have a team that can attack and score tries and is maybe a little wobbly on defense but has a chance to win a game, than a team that has been trained to play safe, can't win points and, if they don't do well on defense, get slaughtered and have no chance of winning.

This is what we are all witnessing and if SK does not turn this around we should arrange a mutiny by getting rid of 3P at the next elections, sacking Paul Osborne and reinstating Daniel Anderson if he is still available and wants to come back to the Eels, knowing all the trouble makers up top have gone. Maybe Wayne Bennett could be offered a mega mega 2 year deal to sort everything out and put in place another coach to carry on in Wayne's tradition. Yes I know the Wayne factor is just a dream but if we move fast we might have a chance to capture his interest in restoring the Eels just like Jack Gibson did for us long ago.

Yeah thats what we need another coach, 3 coaches in 12 months, good stuff dickhead

Does it really matter when the side is letting in around 23 points a game

No it doesn't - but caspers main beef is that our attack is crap ....I've pointed out the our attack isn't as crap as it seems , it may not be flashy but they can score points . Our defence is probably a bigger problem then the no frills attack .

Even last year when the team had a supposed flashy attack they were near last in points scored. The guy seems to have no idea.

Casper`s drug-f**ked; Parra Pete`s just old. :lol:

You should have added 'just fkn old'..
I'm starting to feel 'fkn old' anyway...On the downhill run now.....It's all downhill....

 

[salvy71]

I agree with that - being flashy doesn't mean anything ....we threw the ball around like a hot potato last year and went nowhere .

 

[Swiftstylez]

Well you all called for Hagan's head so I don't see what's wrong with calling for Kearney's. You all have to have your scapegoat fix somehow.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

I'm just pointing out the mess as I see/feel it and who/what caused it. All of us fans are not responsible for the mess because we were not there, not making the decisions, over the past three years or so.

You can take it out on the fans who write on this forum if you want but that does zilch to fix the major issues our club now faces. The problem is at the top where the decisions are made.

Up ahead we see a dead dog on the road and point it out, does that make us wrong or bad for doing so? 3P & Paul Osborne are the dead dog, the buck stops with them. They are fully-responsible & accountable for what has become of our squad today. Daniel Anderson & Stephen Kearney are not at fault.

With few $$, built from scratch, managed a very busy service/sales center in office machines for 20 years. Employed & trained well over 400 staff during those years. Have vast experience dealing with staff, clients, logistics, troubleshooting, management on all fronts and instinctively detecting sabotage scenarios/issues/methods before they escalated. Was skilled at quickly putting out fires started by clients or staff. Conflict resolution became a speciality but I learnt this the hard way.

What I have shared here in this discussion is not a whinge, it's just clearly pointing out where I perceive the real issues reside. I did this last year as well.

You may not like what I say but that does not mean that I am wrong. The building analogy posted earlier clearly explains the circumstances and who are responsible.

 

[Bazal]

Piss off Casper. I'm a huge Anderson advocate and wasn't happy with his sacking, but Kearney deserves the time to show us what he has. 7 weeks? You're f**king high
