Not a sack the coach blog but if not BA who?

Now let me be crystal clear, I am currenlty in favour of keeping BA for next season at the very least but I understand 10+yrs without a premiership is a hard pill to swallow.

If, and it's a BIG IF the Eels were to change coach for 2025 and onwards, who realisticly do you want the Eels to go after?

I would be very hesitant if they went after any rookie coaches other than Billy the Kid/Slater. Outside of any rookie coach, it would have to be Bennett or Bellamy or I would just stick with BA and I think the Eels chances of getting Bennett or Bellamy are zere. So for me it's Billy or BA. 

Thoughts?

  • I'm in agreement with you. I see no point in trading BA for another BA type coach. Yes fresh ideas are good (and needed) but our goal must be to win the comp. We need to be brave and bold, set the loftiest of goals and go all out to make them a reality. I'd go for Slater and pull out all stops to get him. 

    • Same, but if Slater doesn't come, I'd go someone left field like Michael J Fox to really shake things up.

      • Haha 

      • 😂😂😂.

        I'd go with Al Pacino - that Any Given Sunday speech did it for me and I reckon it could work for our side.

        • He would be good for our current wingers,  like he said to Willie Beaman in his debut he would say to our wingers "you don't have fear me benching you, as I have nobody left"

      • Haha !

  • Billy Slater and Cooper Cronk.  I am a diehard blues supporter but Im at the stage where we need football brains over allegences.

    • Billy and Cooper sounds pretty good.

      I think the Eels chances of getting Billy are not much better than getting Bennett or Bellamy but they are the options I think the Eels should go after, IF, they are to look at someone else.

      I still think BA is the one but the Eels definitely need to get a genuine X-Factor/Game breaker player to get us accross the line. That and a solid defensive structure.

  • Bennett 2025
