A bit of news

I had a very interesting talk with a eels staff member at a friends birthday the other day admittedly we had a few beers 1st but except some changes in the backend of the season. whilst the Bennett rumour may work out or might not a few people have been spoken about.He mentioned maquire, Walters, jim Dymock, and Kidwell as options but most likely more.BA has the backing at this point to turn things around but is at long odds to be here effectively he knows this so i expect he will most likely see out the year the club will hive him the opportunity to strp down and save faceAnyway take thus as true or not im just psssing it on.

  • There is no way Walters take the job he wants the Bronco job I hope we don't replace BA with Kidwell and I don't think Dymock make a good coach  he only be good at as a assent coach so out of them Maqure is the go

  • heard it all before, ba will see out hes contract,  

  • Walters coaching the eels fascinating to me
  • All options outlined are band aid solutions. we need a seasoned NRL coach (and not one on the twilight of his career) to get us out of the generational hole we are in. As well as the coach we need a proven front office. At present we have neither. Ricky Stuart was a proven NRL coach and with our front office he couldn't achieve anything. Yes i know the front office is different to when RS was the coach but at present, they have no fewer runs on the board.

  • If we choose Kidwell as coach that will do me lol, or Cayless for that matter, both need the boot.

    • I think kidwell name is only 8n it cause he at the club and may well be holding the position in a cartacker role if BA walks
    • lol, replacing BA with Kidwell is like replacing Devon with Spam. 

  • So the club are fine paying two head coach salaries next year? Because BA is contracted next year and I don't think you'll find many people who will voluntarily step down from a close to million dollar contractual obligation.

    • He should stand down if he has any respect to the club and fans, once again we have a coach putting themselves in front of the wellbeing of the club and leaching money off us.

      • As a club we gave him a contract. He's executing that contract. Like all contracts we could've had performance clauses in there, I gather we didn't. What person in their right mind would put their families livlihood at risk by walking out on a contractual obligation? I get that in NRL world people treat contracts as if they mean nothing, but they're kinda legally enforceable.

        We signed him, we took the risk, now we're wearing that risk. Sucks to be us. I don't begrudge BA if he wants to see out his contract. On the money he's on he'd be crazy not to unless he had another offer in the wings and it was a mutually beneficial parting (and that ain't going to happen).
