Pretty much says what any objective rugby league supporter would say.
Bottom line is, for the Eels to be any chance at all of making the 8 this year IMO, they are likely going to need every single one of their chosen 17 man squad each and every week to play at their full potential every time they take the field. Some sides like the Dogs or the Storm or the Cows, might be able to underperform in any given week but still manage to jag wins. That just won't be good enough for the players we have in our squad. We won't be jagging wins if we're playing below our best.
Mirrors what Stuart has been saying, and I think it's the right attitude to have; "We are going to need to play and work as a team".
Shame he capped it all his good words off with, "I'm glad it's over. The fun stuff comes now. The hard work's been done." Er, no. The hard work's been done; the impossible mission is just beginning.
Gotta love headlines. *sigh
Pretty positive article actually.
If they play with heart and soul we can surprise.
