Do you consider your self a supporter of this club? Cause from what I gather you hate the club and want it to loose!

I understand a lot of us have blind faith in a benji but isn’t that the point in having a team to support To get behind them no matter what.

That’s a bit rough Finnzo.
He supports us, just likes to play devils advocate.

Of course the priority is the NRL team & winning! But to become a strong development club, we need depth and just as important experience in NSW Cup.

The likes of Kurt Falls & Tristan Hope will not lead us to NRL glory but they will help educate & lead our Cup players many who are 20-22yo. Depth also creates competition for spots which in turn develops a hungry squad and the selection of in-form players.

And I said a winning Cup & Flegg team will ‘help’ boost morale not dictate it.

I personally rate the recruitment of the likes of Falls, Hope, Charlie Murray, Eiden Ackland & Jayden Tanner as extremely important in the improvement of our NRL team.

People upset with signings like Falls and Hope, don't seem to understand we had players like Ryan and Valevatu playing in the spine last year.
Falls is better for our cup squad than Sullivan.

Probably because Jason Ryles is able to talk up their training program and work ethic.

Plus you have Mitchell Moses who can give his slant on the saga.

I also believe Galvin was an Eels Junior that we pinched somehow.


But yes, looking at the Eels coaching staff. Ryles has set up Parra to be way too contact/tackle heavy. With Nathan Cayless, Nathan Brown and himself it's too much focus on muscle. Wait, Sam Moa was a prop too... That is entirely nuts, you don't have a halves coach at all bar Wisemantel who mainly played Rugby. ... Parra will be busting teams this year but they will be close to the bottom 4.

Why do you think coaches can only coach the style they played? Or for that matter do an origin 7 and kiwi 6 need specialist positional coaching more so than game plan coaching?

Your post said more then most of the other bullshit people talk about on this thread mate. The people that mock you are probably the people that come on here talk about Asian rock fishing, kebab shops in Auburn or talk about some 8 year old playing club footy out the back of Campbeltown somewhere that's the next big thing.
 
Lachie can’t go anywhere or earn more $ at another club for another 2 seasons .

There’s no way Richo would release him before then .

Pascoe might have already released him last season .

The only way Isaac gets more commission in that next 2 years is if an upgrade happens .

Even if it’s only an extension until the end of 2027 it’s going to be a lot of money over the next 3 seasons .

That extra $ gives Lachie security in case ( touch wood ) a bad injury happens like what happened to that kid who went to the bulldogs , Oloapu .

Boggles my mind why you would turn down free money for that very reason. You are only one game, one run, one tackle away from losing it all. It’s why I can never understand when players drag out contract negotiations. Especially mid season.

Not clear in their mind about staying and rolling the dice on the injury gamble.
