Dogs after just 2 losses make changes & turn around for impressive win.
Eels last year loss after loss after loss yet not a single change (other than forced thru injury & suspensions) resulting in continued losses & wooden spoon!
And for those living in fantasy world this season we were gifted two wins against teams that played woeful (the changes to the dogs team they would have flogged us this week). We were then flogged by yes the premiers.... without Cronk & Friend for 1/2 the game!
Gower was one of our best in the first two games but got dropped. Mannah continues to do nothing but will continue to be picked. Taka was an embarrassment but will also continue to get picked. Meanwhile an up & coming youngster will continue to be wasted sitting on his arse for most of the games. And the best hooker we have had in a decade will continue to be dragged of for no reason.
And there is talk of re-signing Arthur????? You can't fix stupid!

Spot on blog.
Its not changing the players its the amount in the brown bags for the refereeing that makes the difference.
I agree that a coach has to change it up when things aren’t going as planned - in that respect and many other areas BA failed miserably in 2018. Too loyal for his own good.
So far we have won 2 but I guess the real test will come if/when we hit a wall.
Will he pick and stick or has he learnt from last year?
I think he won’t change and I hope we never have to find out.
I suppose you could ask Gutho if the team was changed around to try to spark some momentum in the team last year. Was it three positions he played? French played fullback, wing and left-right-out. Tep played edge, middle and lock. If anything there were too many changes last year. By the end of the year we had about 7 of the starting players still in the 17. Once June came around BA was able to select some of the young guns, and they did start to turn the season around a bit. We are benefitting from that now.
The other considerations are who would replace BA?
There is a saying that it takes a village to raise a child and it takes many to run a footy team.
BA has less responsibility this year and can focus on the game and not so much admin etc.
I would prefer BA than many other coaches in the league. Is Cleary a bad coach? His star has been bad, a lot worse than BA.
There is Flanno but who knows what's happening here and also would he be better
Is BA the right man, I don't know but who admin is better and don't we have to trust the leadership
Takes one to know one pal. Your the definition of clueless. I ll give you the swift tip. Gower wouldnt make first grade in any ither side.
No matter how long your away for, always one dope carrying on with shit. Dean Pay great coach because they were flogged the first two games, had to make a change because they weren't beaten, flogged!!
Gower hurt lol yeah, humble shit pie coming up.
Take a pill mate. Get over last season, It happened, it's over & the Eels look great this season.
You are a clueless fool, Pay is a better coach than BA lol at you fool.
