"HFK, If I'm wrong about Pezet & he turns out to be a complete lemon, so be it. We all get things wrong, make mistakes, make false assumptions.

"Whether there is a definitive answer or not, it'll have nothing to do with us signing Pezet. He was only available for 2026. He had already signed with the Broncos long term from 2027."
"I have been highly critical of the decision and have copped a little blow back for it, let's see in 12 months time with the eels heading into the 2027 season if they don't have a definitive answer on who will be our long term 6 if the people…"

How were we unlucky against the Cowboys in the finals ?
Agree mate, clean out and spend big.
New coach with new ideas.
Start by getting a coach willing to invest in youth and also will for his team to play some football.
We have been short up front and from dummy half for years but the coach has done little to rectify it.
He'd rather play Moneyball and add to the retirement fund of some experienced players.
Go hard after Api Koroisau, Damien Cook or Victor Radley and promote Reed Mahoney through the grades this year for the utility bench role.
Leeson Ah Mau, Sauaso Sue, Tim Glasby and Shannon Boyd are some props worthy of some look at.
We need to have Paulo and at least one other Dominant prop locked in for 19 for a start.
I wouldn't worry too much about outside backs for now. Hopefully we can promote from within with Akafalou and Lelesiuao being the most likely.
I doubt the cap will allow for other signings besides what I've stated, as i feel we need at least four gun forward signings to become a dominant force. They also need to be of the age where they can lock up a position for years - the club must abandon this nonsense retirement fund system.
If we can continue to recruit the correct players along with having a home ground advantage, we'll probably go close to the top 8 in 19, and knowing there's a glut of talent in our current flegg side, i can see us improving.
Gurr must appoint a head of football asap, and take all retention and recruitment responsibilities away from Arthur.
Gurr must also pay out Kane Evans from his own savings, as it's one of the largest monumental 3 year fuck ups in the club's history.
We're just fans and though we can apply pressure through forums while confronting players, coaching staff, executives and the board, then eventually, it will always come down to jobs being on the line if the board, CEO, CFO, coach, staff and players don't deliver the success we all live for.
Until sackings come about, and sure we can greatly contribute to that through the fans/paying-publics group efforts to force the issues, it will always default back to the players, coaching staff, executives and the board to make the right, tough decisions, otherwise they'll get booted out.
So are we already at the booting out faze because if we are, it requires immediate confrontational actions that come with intense pressure and without respite to force a quick, favourable result in the fans (our) favour or do we let this play out until round 8 to round 12 next season and do the dirty work then if successful results are not in our favour?
I prefer the latter because there are still too many extenuating circumstances that have compromised Brad Arthur's ability to build a successful NRL legacy. I'm giving Brad and the CEO the benefit of the doubt and if they can't finally turn things around by round 12 next season, they must be forced to immediately resign or be sacked on the spot.
