What now ?

2014 is beginning to feel like the last two years. We had everything to play for tonight and we offered nothing. Just stupid plays, dumb decisions, immaturity, no pride and lack of talent. Souths weren't that great either but they still smashed us.We can't keep leaking this amount of points.Is the BA effect starting to wear off on our players? He seemed to get them playing a good style of footy full of enthusiasm. Now they play similar to the way they did last year.

  • We now need 5/7 to make the semis
  • We need a good assistant coach to help BA not make stupid decisions and some fresh ideas in attack.

     Try and swap Sandow and Norman for DCE so we can have  a good half and captain

     Swap Sio and Toutai's contract

    Drop Sefa

    Get one good starting prop.

    • mate, DCE coming to the Eels is a myth. We are already over the cap so other clubs will offer him more.
    • Our starting front-row of Mannah and Jnr Paulo next year will be awesome. Add Moeroa, Ma'u, and Gower/Edwards to this and we have a big but mobile pack that can defend well.

  • Maybe but I was meaning for 2016 when a few contracts have expired including Sandows

    - why I said swap Sandow and Norman for DCE (may not be realistic but can dream)

    Sandow is good but I am starting to think we need better 

  • I agree with everything you have said mick. I would just love to see some actual footballers in the side who are a bit smarter and will continue to stand up when things go against the team. Parra go well when everything runs in favour and fall apart under adversity. Lack of brains and a lack of grit simple as that.
  • We made some stupid mistakes but so did the bunnies. The sole difference between the two sides was Toutai. Drop him & show faith in the rest who tried hard.

  • Look, swap Sio for Toutai tonight and I reckon we either go close or win that one. I don't give two hoots if Sio has signed with another club for next season. He's 10x the winger and finisher Vai is. On that note, Vai needs to be either a centre or not in the team. 

  • What happened to Gower? I thought he was our best player in the first half....running the ball up hard & creating second phase plays. Then didn't see him in the second half until about 15 min left & he just ran the ball up half hearted & got clobbered...didn't even try to bend the line or pass.

  • He was moved from lock to front row. He still made good metres but he's ideal position in my opinion is lock.

Pezet is still in his infancy.He's just a stop gap fill in here so it doesn't matter too much what he looks like.Remember this Parra is doing him a favour not the other way…"
