Next Month & BA

I'm of the opinion that BA has been here too long and nothing good is going to come of prolonging his stay here ...BUT

having said that I think the next month is a good chance for the club to weigh up whether he should be here next year . If Jake continues to show he isn't anywhere near ready to play NRL football than choosing to go into a season with him as next cab off the rank for both the 6 and 7 jerseys is an absolute failure of his coaching and roster management.

Jake is also not even close to a like for like replacement for either half so I think it has to change the way we play . We can't go into a game with a set for set attitude with Jakes shitty slow kicks into the corners. Mitch has one of the best long kicks in the NRL. I think we'll have to generate a lot more attack through our middles . Matto and Junior linking with Mahoney... a lot for touches for Gutho and D Brown with Jake just doing a job. I have no doubt BA will try and play how we usually do and give Jake the keys to the attack and we are going to look bloody ordinary again as a result .

The club really needs to watch what happens here and act on it . If we hold our ground and get a few wins than whatever plan he's had here has worked . I don't see it though personally .

"I do think eventually Lomax will end up in Melbourne, but to the eels credit they are making it as painful and as long as possible to get to that point. As long as we can drag it out and pull storm through the mud our job is done. "

"V'Landys initially made two claims about NRL players leaving for R360. First was a very general threat: he said if they negotiate with R360 they get a 10 year ban. The second was a specific, legally-vetted threat: if they sign they get a 10 year…"

"It doesn't mean contracts don't mean anything, it just means the conditional release doesn't mean anything. It means we shouldn't have offered the conditional release. Instead it meant our options were to either say "No, you're staying" or "Yes, you…"

I personally have seen enough of BAs antics to know nothing good can come from having him here, years ago, let alone next year.

I dont even need to see what happens the nest 4 weeks, weve had a long time to see the fruit of BAs efforts, he needed to be gone yesterday, along with any connections to him including his son.

I feel that if we have a poor finish, the club will keep him as Moses being out is an excuse.

  Agree LB, I also said this in some other blog. If we fail with JA in, club says MM was out. If by some miracle JA guides us to multiple wims and a top 4 spot, the club says, "see, BA is a genius coach" Both cases he stays and I take more interest in the AFL and UFC
