"Its about time, top sporting teams around the world make their home grounds hostile environments and its about time we followed suit. The current pre game dance cam and on the field interviews (which nobody can hear anyway) isnt cutting it. "
"I wasn't there LB, but I found it odd to read that Ryles would praise Simonsson in such a forum. I wonder what's behind that? "
"The likelihood of 2 long term injuries at the same time to both of our hookers is pretty low. It would be hard to entice an NRL experienced hooker to come and play reggies for us with no prospect of first grade save for injury to both topliners. …"
"Ryley Smith played 80 mins 3 times and over 70 mins twice last season."

It doesn't mean nothing.
It depends who you ask.
double negative there Brett
Well done BA. A testament to perseverance
Only taken 8 years.
Just imagine how many he can rack up if we resign him.
To put this in perspective, only four other coaches have coached the Eels for more than 100 games:
Brian Smith, John Monie, Vic Hey and Terry Fearnley.
Of that group, only Brian Smith passed 100 victories as coach. So one more win and BA becomes just the second coach in the club's history to pass 100 wins. He'll also become just the second Eels coach to pass 200 games when he gets to that mark at the end of the season.
Nothing on the unwanted records that he also holds, Super?
"Arthur also set an unwanted coaching record, becoming the first head coach in 112 seasons of the game to coach a side for seven consecutive years and fail to make at least one preliminary final"
Plenty of clubs have failed to make the preliminary final for longer than that, and the worst clubs (like the Tigers) think the solution is sacking coaches. How has that worked out for them? I'm glad we have persisted with Arthur. As his win rate improves so will his finals win rate.
Possibly in under 36 years. Here's hoping. We can't lose our hope.
