"Randy, An interesting one.
I suppose coaches trust certain players or believe they're the best fit for the team, even if club form or a high minute count aren't there.
I'd choose you for x-factor even if you only had 5 minutes of form."

"Hoe, I dislike the idea that a player can be selected for Aust with only 480 club minutes on show...and not all of them good. How can he have form without playing?
Perhaps a rule that said 10 nrl games to be eligible for Aust would help everyone"

"Wiz, We definitely need to be higher up the ladder in finals footy.

Whether that stems from his one first-grade game with the club, or whether it has been in more recent times, we probably may never know, but he does seem to be taking it a bit too far.
In 2011, the Eels won't have the favourites tag on them, so they can do a lot better now that they won't have the added pressure on them.
It is quite easy for him to make the comment that we are a club in decline because we came 2nd last year and 12th this year. As I said elsewhere about the whole Anderson thing, on field performance effects what is written and said about a club no matter how well a club might be going financially or in other areas - it's just human nature to judge a thing on its most obvious criteria.
But he said the club was once a great club but now it's in decline and doesn have much of a future left.
That is really far. but at the same time we need to win a preimership if we to keep branding about how grt this club is.
