"all those that are writing him off also said the same about Stefano Utoikamanu how has that turned out"

"I thought the BA is throwing darts comment was pretty funny. Not sure about this team lineup, but I guess we've been critical of not blooding the younger players. Maybe he is doing it as it's a game we aren't expected to win.
But I can't believe…"

"He'd be stupid not to test the market. I'm pretty sure he'd want to stay an Eel, but is testing the market to ascertain what price they need to pay and possibly 100k or so less than other clubs "

"Hobgood?"

"Matty Johns covered Steve McNamara on the NRL Podcast last night as one to go for. Apparently has to coach a team in France in French and succeeding."

"For this to have made the media requires Talagi's agent to have fed the info (not only of the lapsed player option but of the decision to go to the open market.
It's easy for them to shut it down "Talagi is committed to the club, loves the Eels, and…"

"Name one up and coming player the chocolate solders have lost not ONE...They are happy to wait in a strong winning system.   As for Parra ...ffs we cant even keep the journey men ..."

"Lol i actually find it funny watching a game on Channel 9 when Joey references how all these kids played junior footy in the same side and how they mustve been "some team".. They didnt even win the local comps. How 4 of them made first grade at…"

"Agree in principle with you Coryn, actually its an oxymoron, that doesn't absolve BA though, he has shown no sign of vision in his total approach.
If I was in his current position I would be swinging off trees trying to get players now to fill some…"

"Yes we want a Bennett to come in, nothing else is going to change so might as well try to win a premiership. "

"This is what I've been saying for awhile now.
Parras key signing isn't the head coach it's the director of football someone with the road map of how to look at the club as a whole and have the big picture plan.
This is what our board aren't…"

"What you're saying makes sense to me Pimpin. The influence of a coach is massive in keeping who you want to keep."

"Marcelo Montoya.
With regards to Sivos kick returns what no one has mentioned is wear and tear.Sivo is 30 yrs old and these soft tissue injuries are seemingly catching up with him.I also don't think this guy has played a full season in the last 3…"
