"Super, well said. As Captain noted he probably needed to rethink his "Offical (sic) Statement". It wasn't his best work, and he didn't run it through a spell check."
"We have some interesting interviews coming up.
We intially aimed to have these previews go on for around 30 minutes, but it went on longer than planned.
Let us know your thoughts."

"The problem with getting Barnett is the Warriors are going to want one possibly 2 players in return to release him early.So to land him as above the Warriors are going to want the same sought or type of talent that they are losing.There not just…"
"I think you're spot on.
Melb threw it up as a last roll of the dice. We went to Matto (mgmt) with their offer. He said 2yrs guaranteed or no dice. Melb then said - no deal."

The only positive for eels as far as next year is concerned is that next year is sometime away........before the mediocre eels do it all over gain.
that's low, even for a creature that licks its own balls.
that's actually quite funny...the kind of cringe and laugh at the same time vibe, at least for this eels fan
Both eels nyc and the eels both coping floggings
What's nice is at least the Cowboys do what they say they are going to do. They said they would flog us and they did.
Sick of hearing about how postive our weekly training sessions are and they we consistently crumble from start to finish.
Outrunna, I like your sentiment, but I fear the cycle is becoming too predictable. Our core group of players is moving on from each season with far too many mental scars. The mentality of this team has been poor since about Rd 6 of 2010. It has seriously not improved in that time.
I'm happy for BA to be given more time as long as:
1. We get a new captain. Mannah has had some decent stats this year but he is clearly and simply not a captain. We need somebody who'll inspire fear and steel into our side every time the opposition score.
2. We draw fresh talent. We desperately need a couple of bolters from our juniors or the bush; Hindy, Cayless, Burt, T Smith, Lyon style. We are buying too many quality players past their best, good signings on paper, but never turning out to be good signings. Tahu mark 1 was the last big name signing that worked, and that was a decade ago. We need to re-think our talent scout operations.
3. The front office. I know very little about it all apart from what I read here. Clearly the ongoing issues have messed us up. No idea how to fix it, and until it is fixed I will have very little confidence in our club.
4. Defence. Even with the above additions, our defence won't be fixed automatically. Not sure if we need a new D coach, but for too long we've leaked too many.
5. Injuries. Impossible to predict, difficult to prevent. Luck plays a part. Possibly the strength and conditioning strategies. If we have luck with injuries, perhaps things will get better.
If BA can somehow address this, then great. Give him a few seasons to slowly turn things around. One thing is very, very clear: we will not automatically turn into a top 8 team overnight. Our team has gone through so much, it will take a lot of time.
We need to stop wasting money on injury prone players like Beau Champion. He's the reason our right side has been fu*ked all year and why Ryan Morgan gets to play each week. We only have one quality side with Semi and Take. Hoppa and Morgan/ Folau/ Faraimo or whoever just isn't working. Scoring points down that edge is like taking candy from a baby.
