For those keeping the faith

Hey guys

For those still hanging on and believing we still have the team to do something good this year or those who have forgotten the team we do have it was interesting to hear Nathan Browns comments regarding the Knights trial against the Eels. 

However, Brown doesn't think Arthur will lose the playing group's support, especially after coming up against a red-hot Manly side.

"We played Parramatta in a trial, and we as a club thought, 'They've definitely improved on last year, they're outstanding'," Brown said on NRL360 on Monday.

"I didn't see yesterday's game, but I don't think Brad Arthur will lose sight of the players he has. I think his confidence in them is going to be fine.

It seems we forget that we still have the nucleus of a very good team and that doesn't change in 3 weeks. Yes it was only a trial but all the signs were there of a team that was flowing together and working for one another. Yes we still may need to add to the squad but we do have a very good nucleus there already. Things will turn around. 

Hope to see Terepo out there this weekend as he looked like our best in the trial.

  • BA will fix it, like he fixed us last year, and we will become the best group 7 side in the NRL.

    Did I tell you that my new dream is to become Bevan French's personal cheerleader? That way he can do my tackles as well as take my spot.

  • Like I said for those still keeping the faith
  • That's all well and good but I'll tell you.. If we miss the 8 this year - BA won't be with us in 2019 and that's a fact.
    There are some decent coaches out there including -
    Toovey
    Madge
    Hasler
    All busting to get a 1st grade side.
    It's a business and Bernie and Max will run it as such. BA will be accountable.
    • Let’s hope so Fathead! IF this year turns out to be a total disaster (which it appears to heading) then most Eels fans (especially the long term ones) I’d say would just about had enough after 31 years of drought! I don’t think Brad Arthur has what it takes to deliver a Premiership and the current squad of players are inadequate.

    • Fathead, you stole my names that I have put up in two other blogs earlier than this one.

      Do you seriously think any of those three would be better than BA?

  • Very well said James Smith.We will still make the top 4. BA forever.
  • Two games does not a season make. As thw articlw says, Parra were outstanding in the trial. I doubt they have forgotten to play in a few weeks. You'll see...
  • Very well said Longfin, the way some people are carrying on is amazing after 2 rounds. BA forever.
  • Ummm Mods!!! This blog is way too positive, can we have it removed please?and James Smith needs some kind of temporary ban.
  • Happy for BA to be judged on the season but not after 2 games.
