"I'm with you, Blue Eel. It's boom or bust for Ryles. I say that not because it's fair that a second year coach is expected to get the team into the finals and strongly compete for top honours. It's probably not. But the Eels have been so starved of…"

Mitch should kick a few balls, make 1-2 tackles, pass the ball once or twice and then come off.

I haven't seen anything official, and even if he does resign, he's not doing it out of any sense of loyalty, he's doing it because it is the best thing for him, as he should.
Sometimes showing loyalty and having a sense of loyalty is the best thing for a person. Obviously not at the expense of commonsense and within reason.
Look, I'm not saying that a player being loyal to his club is wrong, I think its fantastic. It shows we are building a club that players want to be loyal to.
That is a good thing.
I just don't like people expecting players to be loyal.
"I just don't like people expecting players to be loyal."
Yes Brett --same could be said about people expecting players to go for the paycheque alone. Lots of variables to consider in what is the best fit for individual values. Some things money simply can,t buy.. For Moses in HOE,s blog he had no hesitation in saying the premiership trophy with Parra was his only goal.
Much easier decision to make when your playing for the club you supported as a kid. Not many players have that luxury.
Great to have him on board.
To be fair Gordo he had no other genuine option.
The Broncs was no real option, could have wrecked his career.
Hed have had to move everything and carry the weight of a club in termoil, would have fucked him.
He looks happy here and has a lot less pressure here, not worth a few hundred k to take a huge gamble like that.
He wasnt going anywhere.
What is this blog about?
What has Moses supposed to have done?
