Brissy doesn't understand the word 'Huh' but his alter ego Da Rock just might
Huh
He's not only when he changes his personality to BrissyEel he's slightly better and more knowledgeable
Yep not another year of but another 2 possibly more
Exactly it's a Con Cover up by the chief con artist Brad Arthur
I can't believe this statement:

Seriously, Brad Arthur identified🤣🤣 Mate Brad Arthur can't even identify his weekly selection of players or how to use his bench players.
These blokes are all Con Artists in each other's pockets all after the 💰🤑. Brad Arthur has selected Barrett as he can control him and is not threatened by him and increase his chances of staying on until end of 2024. It's one huge CON JOB
😂😂😂
Continuous improvement each and every year.
🤣🤣🤣
Well they can seek it but truth is we haven't improved consistently since 2017.
That year we finished on 36 points - 3rd on the ladder, the highest we have finished under BA.
Its all been down hill since and still somehow the bald door still controls the coaching reins......we make all the changes you want except the most important and obvious one.
Frank, that is true, but don't forget that was the last year the eels had Semi.
Maybe Barrett might be but look who he's working with and it depends how much actual say Barrett has. It's all a smoke screen for Super Dud
