Why is finishing bottom 4 not worth considering? 2018 we were top 8 certainties to only finish with the worst record in the comp by far. Anything can happen poops
Helped by yet another easy draw ( you can't half tell the NRL are desperate for the eels to win a comp ) the eels will make the 8 but won't be able to match it with top sides as always . Parra had more possession and tackles inside the storm 20 in the si final and they could not even score .
Unless a miracle has happened during the pre season it will be a case of the eels being world beaters against crap sides and big time losers against the top sides.
3rd -4th place finish, we would have to get some decent luck in regards to other top 4 teams injuries to really win it.
Still think Browns a bit green in the halves but depends on the effect of Johns, with johns assistance we might find another level of confidence.
Anything is possible this year imo, which is a lot better than being no chance.
Matto is going to be huge for us, i can just feel it, lets hope RCG will be the same.
This timmy curse has gone too, the first year where its been fully lifted in over a decade, his presence not being around the team cannot be underestimated, its a huge bonus to have him gone.
Snake do you know what Johns record is when it comes to helping players be better? He has been at a lot of clubs in a coaching capacity what has he actually done ?
"Which will be impacting that run game & attack also.
I don't think we should be worried, Ryles clearly has a plan for these two in tandem & it's exciting to know we are moving further & further from the style of player & footy from previous seasons.…"
"Yeah, if I did not misread the DT article, I think that's what Richardson (Tigers HOF) mentioned that he currently contracted at the Tigers. So we might hvae just matched it?"
"Pops, agree on the defence 100%, well said.
Saturday was a good indication of how much work Ryley does himself & for those around him.
I have no doubt Ryley is well in the plans. Perhaps he's thinking, as EA mentioned, a Brandon Smith style hooker…"

I like the World Champions tag. The NRL have missed an opportunity there Popy. Maybe they should consider you as V'landy's assistant !
1) We'll find out in October
2) Top 4
3) Gonski
1. Not this year
2. 1-4
3. Sacked
Lot will depend how we start. If we get off to a flyer in the first 6 to 10 weeks, we are going to be a massive chance . Need to start well IMO.
1. They can
2. 2nd
3. Sacked.

If we finish bottom 4 BA should be sacked before seasons end.
