"I know some of our injury issues were unavoidable, but I think its no coincidence our head of physical development was brought over from the spoon winning Newcastle knights. The number of soft tissue injuries are off the scale. "
"Minimum 1.3 probably 1.5 mil to get him."
"Nothing wrong with optimism. Deep down it's all Eels fans have. As far as predicting our success, help me, you seem to have some good insight. I've been trying to predict it for over 25 years, some here, for over 40. "
"What's wrong with being optimistic? I'll be impressed when someone correctly predicts (so that's ahead of time) our success, not failure after it's occurred. So much commentary on here is past tense and completely focused on our flaws. "

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.
