GET REAL PARRA

It's time to take off the rose colored glasses and look at some cold hard facts.

- If the NRL decided to refund us our 12 points, we would still not be in the top 8.

- Brad Arthur has coached us for 75 games for only 34 wins a measly 45.3%.

- In 2017, Beau Scott will be 33, Jeff Robson will be 35, David Gower will be 31, Isaac De gois will be 32, Danny Wicks will be 31 and Jennings and Taka both 29 years old.

I'm sorry if you have duped yourself into thinking we will go good next year.

  • Gower off to SL next season...Wicks will go alright, Jennings needs some quality early ball.

    Scott still a machine!

    • Gower is contracted to the end of next season, so unless he has asked for a release I doubt he is going anywhere.
    • He posted on Twitter on the 12 July he was contracted to the eels for Next season and loved it here and wondered where that rumour came from.
    • Also Brad has said Michael Gordon is the only player leaving, either Brad and David are lying or the rumours are false.
    • Gower is no longer 1st grade standard. Too light and not a ball player
  • I refuse to reply to such a dopy blog.
  • After the Shit Brads had to put up with since he's been here, 45% win ratio is pretty good seeings he inherited Rickies spooners, JH walked in his first year giving him no notice, then he's had to put up with all the latest drama just after he built something he thought could really compete.

    I agree I'm worried for next year especially in the halves and trying to carry a huge liability in Bevan french defensively out wide, even if Bevan goes and puts 5kg on he's still going to be a complete push over, theres absolutely no way we can carry that and not expect to be exposed all year and in the big moments.

    Robson and Gower both need to go, obviously Robson is resigning for another year but surely it can only be as a back up.

    Gower has to go, sorry to the gower lovers, I'm one too but times up, IDG is in the same boat.

    From reports it looks like we are letting Kelly go, Toutai should follow him.

    Jennings and Taka have plenty of footy left in them i recon, and Scott has proven his worth.

    • I'm not saying "sack Brad", 45% is okay it's defiantly not great and he should not  talked up so much.
