"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 assumptions that prove to be wrong. Better to focus on improving ourselves, between the ears, bit by bit, than being right."
"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…"
"I highly doubt the eels will take him back but they won't let him play for another nrl team for the next 3 years, he is going to have to find a home in rugby, he has made his bed so must now sleep in it.
To be honest I hope he fails miserably, it…"

But hes spot on here... the clubs in denial and deluded
Watching the matty johns show tonight. Nathan brown showed a no bullshit attitude towards his teams performances this year and it was a far cry from the "effort was there" attitude of brad arthur
Thanks Jeff, exactly my thoughts on Corey and Moses, they are like oil and water, like 2 magnets pushing against each ither, Corey has to go ASAP and Moses may not even work out long term, it remains to be seen.
I actually rather Norman
I am starting to really think the brad Arthur era is cooked . But financially it will cost 1m to pay him out because he will clearly not walk himself. Having said that who do you get ? Who is the right type of coach for the club . Hasler , no , Maguire no , Toovey no .
Maybe a Justin Holbrook from super league or walker from Ipswich ? The issue remains the cattle No way out except stripping back to bare guts and bone and defining a team you want to be and trying to best match them to what is out there available.
I agree Paul, the point about the 300k can't be understated. And many of the players are actually on a lot more than 300k. Go out into the workforce and see what people who earn 700k are doing. They are managing 50 or 100 or many more people and have huge responsibilities and expectations.
I feel that once again Parra have employed very average trainers. It is up to the coach to recognise this problem. First step is to get some decent trainers.
The coach is not able to instil any discipline or culture into the team and seems to make very bad strategic mistakes in player retention.
Who is the player scout for Parra? He needs to be replaced if he has had much to do with the current roster.
Finally from one of my previous blogs. Parra needs a player or group of players to be the alpha and bang a few heads together . There has to be a tough alpha who will lead the team at training and give the players the real facts of life as a foot ball player.
The team has no spiritual leader, someone the players will die for. Its certainly not the coach or Mannah. So the team is lacking discipline and leadership. They are digging in deep for each other.
The team is in disarray and is going to stay that way for some time, sorry to say.
The club needs a big clean out and it is going to take probably another 3 years to achieve the desired results of the clean out because of the financial costs of moving players on and contracting new players.
I have to ask , why did it go south so quick. Does anyone know
