I've put off my answer for a couple of weeks and I was hopeful after the Manly game that maybe things were on the mend...but yesterday was the same awful rubbish. I don't know that we can afford to sack him now and I don't know that it would do any good. Personally, I would say he has 10 rounds to turn it around. If we can even win 4 of those then he has the rest of the year to build on it. If not, I'd be shopping around for a replacement

Last week really looked like the players just wanted to have fun and throw the 'game plan' out the window. Yesterday they were back to being robots with no confidence in the game plan which involves not offloading.

Bring Brian Smith, give Jason Taylor a crack or Steve Folkes. I'd even take Nathan Brown at least his sides are entertaining to watch.

roberts said that against manly sk said not to follow the robotic gameplan

sk probably tried a da ala saints 2009 but backfired miserably

Start shopping for a replacement now. He has become a compromised coach. The team has failed under him in a diseased kind of way. The players have no life or spirit what so ever. I don't think that I have ever seen a more listless bunch of guys play for Parra and that includes the ugly nineties considering the calibre of players we have.

Sure we have a couple of weak spots and we need Hayne firing at the back to really give the comp a shake, but to be as bad as they are without him is a complete reflection of the coach that is so damning and shows him up for what he hasn't brought to the table as a coach, teacher, motivator, tactician or anything else other then clichés, so much so that words fail me.

Whatever he has brought to the club has infected their heads in such a way that we now play like lifeless zombies. This cannot continue for too much longer without breaking the club wide open.

A stand needs to be taken by management real soon otherwise this negative mental lethargy that has afflicted us will spiral out of control to the point of a full blown case of chronic cancer that may place us in the wilderness again for another 5-10 years. Unfortunately at the moment there aren't any great coaches out there that have the experience, strength, personality and ability to make an instant positive difference that is need to the whole club...except for maybe one.

Ricky Stewart. Yes I know I hate him too, but he has the ability to bring in mateship, loyalty, belief in each other and above all, the all important missing ingredient at our club...enthusiasm. And yes I know this is a very drastic response to our predicament, but we need something to circuit break the rot so to speak and instil a new mindset within the playing group or else we are LONG TERM goneskys.

If not we may as well change our moniker to reflect the team that we have now become...the Parramatta Zombies.

You reckon we made more offloads last week do you?

Kearney has lost me. No other code in the world would put up with the win/loss ratio that he has given us. Neither should we. I couldn't care about his vision, his structure, his academy, I just want to win and he hasn't delivered.

jt or nathan brown would be my options

Brown is probably not a viable option mid-season. Jason Taylor on the other hand........

Anyone got any thoughts on giving Dean Pay a go? Former Captain of the Eels....couldnt do any worse than the current muppet we have got.

We should sack the coach cos that usually gets you a win the next week.

Appoint JT and then sack him later on in the year. That would give us 3 wins and then we'll probably jag another.

Titans will get the spoon and that's all that matters in a rebuilding year.

JT hasn't got the respect of anyone except maybe a few bogans out Parra way. Also he can't attract players to the club other than by money, similar to Kearney.

I for one would like us to have a coach that players do want to play for and see as a mentor, not someone that can hang at the pub with the boys and piss it up and trash talk with the best of them.

We need a man that can command respect and connect with valued guidance for our players, not buffoonery.

At least buffoonery would be a big upgrade from our present state.

If we want to attract players maybe we should sign the current NSW State of Origin coach assuming he retains the role. I however don't rate him as a coach.
