Leave DA alone

Im sick of hearing this bullshit about DA being sacked.

He is an excellent coach. Let him do his job and build the team with the players he wants.

Remember, we made it to the gf last year without kk, mateo & inu wasnt any major influence so they are no great loss.

Lets see who they sign up before we criticize him.

This year our problem is two things. Hayne's role in the team have muddled up the halves. Hayne need to be only involved as a 2nd/3rd receiver except on a 5th tackle defensive kick. Mortimer & robson need to be given full responsibility for running the team. Hayne needs to concentrate on supporting our forwards for 2nd phase play.

I think we are missing Tahu in the centres. He was able to create something for his winger whereas wright looks a bit lost and provides inu with no opportunities. Maybe inu to centre and bring up etu or kenny sio.

Our defence on the edge of ruck looks a bit dusty. Tahu and benny smith provided that muscle that we are lacking and protected our little men well.

Burty has been a bit down on form the last 3 weeks. He is a champ and will come back. MK looked alot better against auckland and im expecting a big game from him.

DA deserves loyalty from parramatta and its fans.

"Good point Poppa I and many others would probably agree with you . I think if you were doing an essay at School most questions are or should be about comparing knowledge around different points of view and try and come to a conclusion. I think most…"

"Analyst, touching story bro. Love it. Not surprising, really. He seems to be a high-energy, fun-loving guy who practically 'loves everyone' & 'loves life'. He's a damn fine player as well. Made a huge difference with his talk, energy, skill & pace…"

It isn't up to the people on this site whether Anderson stays or goes but I have a suspicion that if he fails to get the team to the semis at least, he will probably go.

This is Parramatta we are talking about, Hagan was given the arse i year after having posing the best threat to Melbourne in 2007.

People talk about Brian Smith having a long tenure but at least with Smith the sides often overachieved - I mean we were making the semis with teams that included Paul Carige, Shane Whereat and Ian 'Chooky' Herron.

Anything less than a solid semis showing will be deemed a failure by the eels board with this group of players.

i think injuries & suspensions will determine if parra make the 8 & not any specific brillance from DA

  Doesn't matter, coaches live and die on the success of their team - Ando enjoyed a good run last year where I would argue he has about a thousandth to do with it as Jarryd Hayne did.
  
  Tell me, what has been Anderson's influence on this football team? He can't even input a couple of decent offensive patterns. His master plan last year was, um, to have no plan and throw it around.
  
  Our defence has been good but you can put that down to Sharp,

you don't fire a coach who gets you to a GF in his first year, even if we don't make the 8 this year, you atleast give him another year to prove himself.

i can see both side of the coin. if the team comes out and plays great tonight then that suggests there for ando but if they look uninterested and dont play to there potenial then i think ando is really under pressure and more board members could switch there vote on ando. i thinks the players hold his fate. id like to think that there all behind daniel anderson and want him to continue to coach them for many years.

I am with Sinbad. Its not like the one eyed members are sacking DA !! The Board is going to oust him.

I also do not agree about Tahu. He is the worst buy of the new players. This is my view held before SOO. He did nothing in the final 12 months of his stint with rugby and has lost his attacking flair.
