Brad Arthur is just a poor mans Brian Smith

At least Smithy was able to get his teams to the Grand Final Qualifiers if not the actual Grand Final before choking, BA hasn't even gotten the team that far.

Due to winning tonight, Parra now face the Storm at Suncorp next week and when they lose it'll be the winner of the Souths v Knights match in week 2.

Had they lost, it would have been a match at home against the struggling Sharks in week 1 of the finals followed up by a match against the loser of the Panthers vs Raiders game in week 2, the team simply did not show enough to suggest that they have any hope in beating the form teams of the comp but they are also too stupid to play the system and set up an easier road for them.

Parra have not played a good game since they beat the Cowboys in round 8, they have been flat & uncaring since then and that attitude is 100% on the coach.

    I did. And that's why it's my username. I support the Eels. Thanks for the clap. Probably the only time you've clapped an Eel for some time.

      and it's fans like you who accept mediocrity that are part of the reason why this club hasn't won a comp since 1986

        Big Eel you’re too angry mate. Get on board the Eels tilt. Yeah we’re up against it but who knows. Sometimes you’ve got to be in it to win it.

      Hey brissy, hope you get to the game next week and cheer the mighty Blue and Golds on.

    Listen to Brissy mate and you might learn something. 13 teams beneath us, and we are still going this year.
    
    Gee I Hope we beat the Storm - if only to hear the excuses from the neighersayers that we were lucky/cheated/storm had players out/blah blah blah.
    
    It's too easy to bag the coach or team out. Be stronger than that and celebrate the massive improvements the team, coach and players are making.
