The Eels were mediocre again tonight. The Broncos were awful. We had 30 points scored against us (at home) and BA is proud because the effort was there? Watching Brad trying to spin his way through this is sad.
How can he be happy with the effort when they get 30 points scored against them at our home.
If he's happy with that, then he will accept anything.
Next week, Melb in Bris ...64-10 and Brad gets a 3 year extension. (sounds familiar) After all, the next FG coach is still under development in NSW Cup.
The only thing i will say about BA's presser is how he constantly sounds like a salesmen, i know he is giving everyone hope but just sounds like someone that is selling himself, i don't know. Then again, we were up tonight and honestly attacking wise played the best we have since Manly in Round 3. Moses there and we lead 18-0.
I thought we sort of went the other way. In the dry we went through the middle and in the wet we went to the flanks. A couple of times the team was bundled into touch on the first tackle. We employed the bomb instead of a grubber.
The good thing was the effort. 110%. Just needed some calm heads out there.
As for BA. I thought it was really strange, as I said I thought he was bouncing. You would think given the fact that the team is in a pretty dire state, he would be rather grim. Whatever he's taking, it's good stuff !
I think it is more so we were in the game for most of the match despite no Moses or Gutho. Plus he seems to be getting some sort of response when last few weeks it seemed it was missing.
No Moses or Gutho either. Hey i was one who said those injuries are no excuse, but the effort and energy was good and missing a captain as well as Moses adds quite a bit. Had Gutho played and same result maybe a little bit harder on them.
"Frankie,
Do you think they'll be any major changes in the board (or MON atm) now they've cut the umbilical cord with Arthur officially? I'm doubtful.The pressure is temporarily relieved.
The timeline is interesting. Plenty of smoke & mirror poker…"
"Steel, it is a close competition where we have reasonable draw coming up and another bye soon. We are 2 games from 7th and 8th place but our for and against is the worst in the comp so may as well say 3 games.
It is doable on our best games…"

Maybe he's been told that Blaize will only sign if BA remains coach, so he knows the extensions coming...
Now wouldn't that be crushing ! I thought he was so upbeat so maybe you are right.

This is the problem though - we are very good at being in the game for "most of the match" and not the whole match.
if we don't have an 18 point lead with 20 to go we usually lose.
The Broncos werent on fire and still put 30 on us. What if Reynolds plays and they put on 60? Would we still be happy with the effort?
