Questions for Eels 2022

So this season has fast become a disaster and problems from the last few seasons have not gone away.

  • Late season slide
  • Unable to consistently compete with and beat the top 4 teams
  • Defensive structures out wide are a complete mess and we are constantly stripped for numbers 
  • Attack which relies on long distance tries and kicks
  • Mental toughness

How do we change these concerns?

  • new players?
  • New head coach? New assistant coaches?
  • New head of high performance who can ensure we are peaking at the right times?

What are peoples thoughts?

  • All of the above.

  • It's very competitive in the top 4 and simply we are not a top 4 roster and we do not have an elite coaching set up 

    It's not any single factor it's many factors the sum of which equal your success

    Parra has improved a lot as a club in the last 3 years but continual incremental improvement is the key - all we can do is cross our fingers 

  • The NRL copied AFL to extend  final series from 4 to 8 purely for extra gate money. I admit it does give fans a ray of hope. Just making up numbers although Raiders got to GF from 8th spot one year. 

    • Umm, does anyone remember that we made a GF from 8th in 2009? And what does the number of teams in the finals series have anything to do with the points raised in this blog?

      • A few teams have actually

        warriors in 2011

        North Queensland 2017

        Canterbury 2014 from 6th

        No team out of the top 4 has won a title but they have made the gf in the past

  • All of the above.

    New coach and structures.

    Breath of fresh air, and more freedom to the players.

    Working on defensive aspects.

  • Let's just wait till our season actually over 

  • Some actual star players. Not just the ones that get " star" put next to their names by the media. 

  • If BA continues for next season would someone like Jason Taylor be a good assistant coach? Has had success at the Roosters.

    • If BA is here next year, the same bum coaches will be with him
