The whole Manly 17 were much stronger, faster and fitter individually than what we were.

Someone like Lloyd Perret who could hardly get a start last year at the Dogs looked like a seasoned international compared to our forwards.

This comes to question of the pre season training program . We also only had one trial match.

What are the other clubs doing with their pre season training compared to us?

  • I hear the comment by Paul Kent last week as why Penrith trainee in the 40 degree days over the summer. And apparently the reason was because Parramatta didn’t. I never thought of us as a soft team under brad but on that result today I have my doubts. We all know you can have a bad day at the office but surly not in round 2 with expectations of a good season.
  • Best preseason ever...
  • By the look of it, it seems as if we were identifying flowers and catching butterflies.

  • They ran Millperra hills great fitness in between the runs they and ba were reading how great they are just turn up and win attitude believe in there own hype

    • Agree, we are a small pack, we need to be 80 minute fit, we are unfit, slow and because of that we get penalized constantly for off side ball raking.

      Realy what did BA do pre season, his head coach and this is who he has presented this team. Sack him now and grab Kev Walters or Madge.

      We are in for a long sad season.

  • They got an AFL strength and conditioning guy in and concentrated on 'running mechanics'. Outstanding move

    • This is a first for me but I'm going to call BA a bush coach  he should be showen the door I think get Luke Burt back Toovey 

    • Brad Arthur is way out of his depth in my opinion! The Eels need a good experienced tactical coach whose not afraid to deal with the dead wood players and bring in some young players. A coach with a hard head but brains and a no nonsense approach! Anyone in mind?

  • did they train in the off season

"Same, Kurupt. Whatever the outcome, Jim, Beach, Ryles and the club stood united and stood their ground when they were meant to roll over for the Storm and PLV, discreetly. Moses SC has also been brilliant."
