Eels' game plan is all wrong: Taylor

Former Eels halfback Jason Taylor believes Parramatta must find a way to ease the pressure on struggling youngster Daniel Mortimer or risk finals oblivion after the club lost to the Warriors yesterday – their third consecutive defeat.

  • very smart that Jason Taylor!

    TELL US SOMETHING WE DIDNT KNOW JT!!!!!
  • JT needs to get in and help with the halves , eels hire this guy quickly pleeeeeeeeeeaseeeeeeeeee
    • No thanks... don't rate JT at all
  • I believe when we get guys like Hayne, Smith, Poore and Tahu back you'll see a bit more confidence in the side, but we really lack spark at the moment.
    We held in their okay yesterday until warriors put on the try in the 60something minute and from that point they stepped up to the required level, we just couldnt go with them.

    Our halves are a big worry at the moment. Theres no doubt that Morts lacks talent, but he just isnt the man to lead our team around at the moment.
    Some people will shoot me down for this, but I say we have nothing to lose putting Hayne at 5/8 and trying Humble at 7. Stick Morts in at Hooker as hes one of our best back up players, and doesnt mind making plenty of tackles.
    Im sorry, but Robson will never find us points.
    • Daneel you will be shot down but I agree with you.

      For whatever reason it didn't work before, Hayne would have been the best option for us at 6. He plays as a 6 in attack now anyway! In the process we lose that classic fullback support role though. You just have to look at the Dragons, Panthers, Storm and the Tigers as evidence. All these teams have the potency to blast tries out of nothing because their respective 1's are sniffing around supporting. We don't have that and it really limits our options.

      Now before we get the "Hayne will be too tired to attack from defending if he plays 6" stuff.....two words, Darren Lockyer! Lockyer has these mythical minders but Hayne is by far a stronger and bigger player and should easily be able to cope. A big statement, but he also has the potential to be a greater player at 6 than Lockyer.
  • ;ook what he did with south sydney, apart from the kung foo incident he has built a very good football team. and also us in 2006 dont forget we won 10 in a row, he brought hayne into first grade.. so i rate him heaps
    • He also took his team to the semis in his first year (I think) and then went backwards....

      More than anything else though his media conferences lowered my ipinion of him.... when he used to commentate on 2gb he sounded intelligent and clearly had a great football brain... however in the pressure cooker of first grade coaching I think he operated in a fog. His assement of where his team was at, wek in week out was just wrong IMO.
  • Jason Taylor, the captain bloody obvious!

    Pity David Fa'alogo didnt break his jaw when he clobbered him!
  • 1st Sterlo now JT
    How Parra let JT go in the first place is another of the unexplained brain snap decisions of the the long term self destructive Parramatta management culture.

    In the team we trust - the management can please themselves.

    Yeah I know this is harsh but sometimes you just gotta say what you feel.
  • Game plan is simple - Eels need to play razzle dazzle footy, forget structure ie Dragons
