We are ROCK BOTTOM . The Parramatta eels brand is tarnished and ridiculed once again. We are the laughing stock of the league. I thought I would go back to the man that created our legend, the great late Jack GIBSON. His inspirational quotes still ring true today .
A snippet of the great man and his view on the great game :
- To win a championship, you've got to have a nucleus of five or six real tough, hard competitors. To win anything, the team's got to think tough and that infiltrates into the individual. You've got to have a tough leader.
- The big test in football is how a captain leads under conditions of adversity.
TRUE TRUE TRUE...... we dont have any of these currently.
next :
Talent is secondary to whether players are confident.
Right now MOSES, NORMAN, FRENCH are all playing with zero confidence.
also :
In football, if you are standing still, you're going backwards fast.
What have we done to change the way we play this game, our predictable attack, our poor line speed, our continual flawed defensive patterns.
The key points is :
- We don't have that team of hard men ready to battle under adversity. Even our 2017 savior BROWN is light years away from that form.
- We lack a tough relentless leader.
- We haven't changed, adapted or moved with the times. We certainly did improve our roster this year.
- It starts in the engine room. We are losing the battle there and our backs do not have the fortitude to recover. Need to look outside the square Parra.
Dont try and Copy Melbourne it wont and cant work for us. Build your own style and PERFECT IT.
