When do we call time?

Nah to avengers credit once Norman was getting into trouble he actually went sour on him. Hasn’t been a fan for a while.
Thanks brother. I cannot stand ill discipline. I’m all for giving a second chance but not 5 chances. I would have also sacked Terepo. How many chances has he had? I was also glad that we finally parted ways with Kenny Edwards.

If Hayne is found not guilty I’d give him a chance. He is still an Eels’ legend and I don’t want him to go down like this. He pissed me off when he didn’t return to us from the US but I thought he was one of our best last year.

I agree 100%. Him and Brett Kenny were the most naturally gifted players I’ve ever seen.

People talk about Tedesco but he looks like an unco compared to Hayne in full flight. Hayne needed a mentor but I think the one he had (his manager) lost control of him when his ego reached unprecedented levels.


Hayne went from living in a houso to fame and fortune. Maybe mentally he wasn’t ready for the transition, but f@&k me he was one hell of a player.

When he quit and went to the States my son cried and didn’t want to go to school. I still remember where I was when it was announced.

I was literally driving through the Cross.

Agree. KE and Norman got away with too much. Not sure if they were professional athletes or party boys that play footy on weekends. Even with Norman’s poor attitude BA was happy to resign him. Thank god we’ve flicked them, and hopefully a player like peni has learnt a valuable lesson in this and works hard to make amends.

Notice how Arthur or someone in the coaching staff has slightly changed our attacking style? We are attacking with more depth and are incorporating the offload.

It’s only taken BA half a decade to realise we don’t have to play like Melbourne to achieve success.
We never played anything like Melbourne. In fact we pay more like them this year than in any previous year since Arthur was coach.

Having been lucky enough to actually witness our 4 premierships, it's difficult to find anything too negative about JH, his appearances from 2009 to the end of his career at the Eels were probably the best highlights since 1986.

Love the teams of 2001 and 2005 , but he was something else , the games he won with unbelievable footwork and speed are still a thing of absolute joy.

One of the saddest things is the journey to NFL and the broken promise on return, how to wreck a legacy 101.
f**ken oath. That merkin broke my heart like a Bangla Rd bargirl.

Sounds like Melbourne as a city but on the football field. Nice enough place to visit once every decade or so .
It's a good place to live. Unless you like beaches. And if you're an insanely wealthy merkin you don't get to look at the homes of other insanely wealthy merkins across the harbour.

I thought he was supposed to go to trial in February sometime. I guess not. If he's not guilty and BA wanted him I'd be fine with it. He was very good last year.

I swear if the players were on what everyone says they’re on we’d only have a 20 man squad, it’s all we could afford
