Tim Smith wow what a waste he was. One good season then sucked big time 2005 rookie of the year. He played a few more years and then faded away. |

the curse of Sterlo hit him big time. He was great his first year, but Sterlos curse really got the better of him after that. Moses is playing well so far this year, hopefully Sterlos curse dosent come into play any longer.

BA is already on thin ice and Moses was dreadful last season. I hope Parra can end this miserable premiership drought. |

The Chicago Cubs had a curse for over 100 years, but it is finally over after they won the World Series a couple years ago. There have been much worse curses than the Sterlo Curse. Lets hope this year is the end of the Sterlo curse?

Lets hope this year is the end of the Sterlo curse? 100 years for the Cubs!! I thought they were a good baseball team. Aren't they famous / popular like the Yankees? When Parra win a premiership, all curses will end. |

The cubs are very popular maybe not to the same extent as the Yankees. Lets hope the Eerls win one soon and get rid of the Sterlo Curse.

BS was the choker of the century. Great coach regular season, but otherwise sucked.

Those season endings were heart-breaking. And I attended every one of them. I remember in 1999 losing to the Storm in the GF Qualifier after leading at halftime and when I got home the movie Animal House was on and I did not laugh once. The feeling I had was so depressing!! |

the BS years at the Eels were depressing. I cant think of a better way to sum him up. I wonder what it was about playoff and finals football that got into his head?

BS supporters will tell you he made Parra competitive and gave them a chance at winning a title, but there were people like Ray Price who criticized him right from the start. I did enjoy the regular season winning most games and finishing as minor premiers, but the ending was such an anti-climax, what was the point of being good mid season? Remember that game in 1998 against the Bulldogs!! Only BS could produce that!! At the Dragons he was the same, yeah sure the Broncos were a team made up of better players, but the Dragons not only lost, they crashed and burned. |

BS was a choker pure and simple. I dont understand what mentality he had when it came to big games but whatever it was, it sure didnt work.

His teams were solid during the regular season, but shocking in the finals. People who come to his defence say he never had champion players like Johns, Fittler etc but he still choked. |

the 2001 team was a great team, it may not have had a Johns or Fittler but it was pure and simple a great team that choked in the grand final.

I remember attending games that year and many of them were over by halftime. It only took the first 20 minutes for Parra to put teams away. They came out firing every game. Best regular season the club has seen. |
