1) Is it the Coach's Fault the Eels haven't won a premiership under Brad Arthur's reign?

After 9 years and countless team rotations it has to come down to the coach.
Thanks for your comment Josh. I'm not honestly sure. There's been times I felt it's all been the coach and other times players maybe not following the game plan. I thought maybe this year's squad have a good chance but when you watch the Panthers play against the Storm they're ruthless but the Eels lack that type of ruthless tenacity but they can beat both Penrith and Storm.
Until Parra starts to use TPA's we will never be in the position to by the people we need to win another Grand Final we cannot compete against the rest being the only team no to be over the salary cap.
But we did compete against the rest, WS.
In fact, we BEAT the Riff and Storms at THEIR home ground.
Our players can compete, but they are mentally weak.
That's a team management (ie coaching) issue.
I just think it's very hard to win a comp . It's not any one's fault as such. I'd like to see us building towards it season on season and we have a roster capable of being there at the end. I don't think BA adds enough to our game style though. We have to bring more than physicality and unstructured individual brilliance trys.
In theory, it's just as hard for every other club to win a comp as it is for us.
I can answer those for you.
1. No.
2.No.
3.No.
4. A lucky one.
Also Trooper, based on your comments from many a post , you would be the last bloke id want in the trenches beside me when the shit hits the fan.
Really? The trenches are much different than a rugby league website. It doesn't always pay to judge a book by its cover or even it's contents. There's more than 1 volume to fighting on the battlefield bro. No shit hits the fan when I'm around.
The shit hits the fan every time you post Trooper, this is your second blog since the game finished and you didn't even watch it.....give it a miss with your pathetic questions..... you have no relevance with your input!
It's all of the above.
BA has taken them as far as he can.
The players have a weak mindset hence why the same issues keep coming.
What type of coach to get us the next step is a mystery I think we're just one of those clubs destined to never be number 1 again
