Who picks these teams. Honestly, they're saying that Kane Evans is better than anyone else in Fiji or anyone around the world with Fijian heritage. Have they seen this bloke play. Piss him off BA, stop being a stingy tight arse and put your hand in your (not even yours) pocket and fork out some coin for some big names instead of trying to save money and buying guys who have potential and baggage and might one day do something. Look at the buys a club like Newcastle has made in the last 12 months compared to us. I've always been a BA fan but his recruitment is shit. I don't know if he is trying to make himself look good by trying to turn cheapies into quality talent and saying, " Look what I did, look how much money I saved us ". It may have worked with one or two players but you just can't use that as your sole recruitment technique. It's killing me seeing all these other teams sign the good talent while we continue to sign Kane Evans'. Like, no disrespect to the guy but who tf is Shaun LANE. Sorry this blog started as one thing and evolved into a recruitment bitch. Rant over.

  • Ye look what happen to fiji

  • Evans is easily the worst Eels signing since Justin Poore.

  • Shocking signing especially when it's a 3 year contract. Another ba stuff up big time, but what's new ? Shaun lane will prove to be another dud as was vave hoffman Williams matagi ect. But the unicorns will defend Arthur until it's over.
  • I think BA would have learnt some things this year about coaching an NRL side that he may not have been exposed to in previous seasons. The great coaches (or any person for that matter) learn from their mistakes and use that to make them a better person. BA obviously saw something in Evans, but it really hasn't worked out. The trouble is we are stuck with him for another 2 years unless we cut our losses.

    • BA really learnt from signing Watmough,Foran,Faoso,Prichard,Robinson,Hoffman,Vave etc etc.  He chases experienced over the hill bums instead of young talent.  He wouldn't know talent if it bit him on the arse.  Now he is chasing the injury prone Morris boys lol.  The bloke has learnt nothing in 5 years.

  • What a terrible signing so far! What was BA thinking when he signed this guy?

    • What was he thinking when he sign Shaun Lane I think the same thing what was that I don't know

  • Fiji? Wouldn't it have been better to say he was a regular in the Roosters lineup for the past 4-5 yrs but cant get a spot in Parra's 17?

    • You make a good point.  Never thought of it like that. 

  • Slightly related to this topic. Don’t you think Wentworthville is almost a graveyard for Parra players? Once they get to Wenty they often arent seen again or not for a long time. Players don’t seem to motivated to play fir Wenty. A great article on TCT about how Parra needs to seperate from Wenty and create its own identity with a Parra eels reserve grade side playing in blue and gold
