[I bleed blue & gold]

I'd say incentive based contract and that's just a payout figure should he get flicked

Oh great let's re-sign the Coach with the worse record in the History of club, and I thought things were going to get better under 3P

I'd say there have been several Parra coaches with much worse records. Have you forgotten how many times we've won the spoon?

he ranks 20th of our 27 coaches @ 23.1 win %

maybe they thought they were signing Ken Kearney

What frustrates me is that it's not just individual performances, it's the fact we don't play as a team. The players don't seem to have any confidence in each other's abilities and cannot read their team-mates plays. That's something the coach has to address. Hasler in one off season has got the Bulldogs playing as a team and they're getting the results from it.

I am pro kearney, but you're spot on here. While evident in patches it just isnt good enough at the moment.

As in previous posts i am prepared to be patient, but then i see how the doggies boys have reacted to hasler and it makes me think . . .

Interesting that even back when it was amateur footy, all coaches who had a win/loss record of around 20% didn't coach past one season, except for Jack Raynor 1958-60.

What gets me is that he drops Luke Burt after Round 1...merely a week after announcing Burt as his first choice kicked for the season ahead...

Very curious...

May be more too this

What is so curious about that?? He nominated Burt as first choice goalkicker - not first choice winger.

He picked him in round 1, he played crap - he got dropped. Big deal!! Would you prefer if he picked Burt irregardless of how he plays because he thinks he is a better goalkicker than Sandow??

Hasler took over a squad that had their buying spree last year - so all their players have been together for at least a year. Do you think he'd go to a club that didn't have a strong roster? He's a high profile coach mate. He wouldn't go somewhere if he couldn't have immediate success.

High profile coaches can pick and choose which clubs they go to. Basket cases like the Eels have to make do with rookies or coaches like Daniel Anderson. Trust me, if Kearney had more experience there's no way he would have chosen the Eels. Not unless he'd gone years without winning anything (e.g. Brian Smith in 1997).

On top of that the Bulldogs have had no significant injuries. Hasler's got it easy.

before he signed with us it was mentioned Kearney had knocked back coaching roles, he did not take the first job he was offered.

Coaches wouldn't have had contracts back then. Or at least not multiple year ones.

Kearney played down being under pressure, despite his side only recording six wins in 27 games under his leadership.

oh dear....

Pou pou dont like the truth

 

[Parramatta1947]

Channel 9 are about to run a story about 'Eels in Crisis' and that Kearney is being looked at.

Probably another Danny 'Non Exclusive' Weidler beat up.

 

[Parramatta1947]

Story:

- Spagnolo under pressure
- Players not happy with the recruitment
- Hayne is training on Thursday

 

[Stagger eel]

lol it was a bit of fluffer of a story lol

 

[mickdo]

When aren't we 'in crisis'? We could win the comp and they'd find someone who didn't like the style we played to do it or some shyte

 

[mickdo]

Players not happy with the recuitment??? Sandow, Roberts, Tonga, Hoppa... FMD the only ones who should be unhappy with that are the people they replaced (maybe they spoke to Morts)

 

[El Diablo]

lol it was a bit of fluffer of a story lol

That's exactly what it was. Seriously, how does that guy have any respect in the media industry? I could of put that story together today after reading this site for 20 minutes.
He is a joke.
Then again, he's probably reading this now and laughing because I watched it, and calling me a sucker. That's their mentality though, and that's the problem.

Suity
