i'm with you mitchy, so much hate for one man is ridiculous, considering what he does and has done to get this club out of the mire that so many before him created. Maybe, just maybe, its a sad indictment of those who have a pretty sad life themselves and have achieved very little in their own world...
Of course, when using the wonderful tool of knowledge that is hindsight, there are things that could have and probably should have been done differently or better but the last few years have definitely been better than the previous 15.
Agreed Rock, i think that some just wish to see him and / or his son fail, and then may feel justified; not to mention the amount of positive change to the club. Yes we have not won a comp but we are in a better position to where we were at the end of 2013, when Pricky left.
We seem to have many experts here and many who have coached NRL.
It was a moment between father and son that sparked emotion in fans. I don't see the issue and I thought it was great when I saw it. We are just human and we are emotional creatures.

Coach, seems to me that with social media and the experts on here have a passion for failure especially when the eels lose a game, and miss the end of year trophy. While I loved being at the first GF win at the SCG, I have lived through many years of losses under a stack of different coaches, that includes ex players, and watched some plays that had one shaking their heads, eg the Ron Hilditch RU wedge formation where he led the pack in an attempt to score a try for the team.
We have had some great coaches, and even some of them failed over time, yet how many today look back and see how great they were, never won a premiership. While the abuse and the like against BA and the temeritry of him to have his son play for the eels, likewise the aspect of not winning a premiership. Should we do so, it wont be good enough unless a record winning score is the result.
"Was thinking the same. It's pretty funny on here at times. The sky is either falling or the sun is shining out of everyone's arse. You don't get anything in between. "
"Already have some young players in there. Other than Kelly, Ado-Carr Paulo, Debelin and Walker, most of the other players are pretty young. Saxon Prike finds himself playing NRL well before he expected to. Throwing them all in together is asking…"
"hmph ! fight fire with fire. i say , adjustments in attitudes is paramount , might I dare say , even head coach Ryles may have to adjust his attitude to a more no nonsense angry bustard type of a head coach that is bordering on…"

Armchair experts and keyboard warriors who can all do a better job no doubt.
Brissy i was being balanced and not emotive. Its the off season... :)
Was meant tongue in cheek Mitchy.
No issues at all Bert.
Brad was crying because he'd heard Will Smith had signed with the Titans.
Cynical
