I just wonder where Rip Taylor is heading. He's proven over the last 4 years or so that he is a very good coach. His results are very impressive.

id love to see the eels legends , edge,price,grothe snr,kenny and sterlo ,and cronin go spend 2 or 3 weekends with the eels around semi finals time , what a boost for the team and great leadership ,advise , inspiration . We know joey johns does it , but lets never forget the sterlo/kenny combo or the kenny/ella combo , even though it was the 80,s we never stop talking about them , what lessons our young jarryd hayne and mortimer can learn from them will be priceless
