You just summed up that pathetic excuse we have for a coach. He only has one trick like his halfback and if that fails we are screwed.

To win a premiership, a team must play 80 minutes every week and be strong in all areas of the game. What Panthers, Roosters and Storm have shown the past decade. Eels had player talent, but that was all.

Eels have never had a class half. One trick per game doesnt quite cut it.

Eels have never had a class half. One trick per game doesnt quite cut it. One trick can score and set up tries, but he never looks dangerous with the ball. If you watch Andrew Johns highlights, notice his running to the line and knowing when to pass or run through the gap. His passing results in tries being scored.

One trick never plays well against class halfs, he seems to go missing.

Parramatta set to sign Samoan World Cup star effective immediately The Eels are set to release a former Origin forward before the International puts pen to paper.
Finally, after months of speculation, Martin Taupau is set to finally find a home in the NRL for 2023.
Taupau was told at the start of the season that the Manly Sea Eagles wouldn't be re-signing the front-rower at seasons end, putting a halt to his seven-year, 156 NRL game career at the club.
The former Kiwi had to pay for his own insurance at the World Cup because he was off-contract in the NRL, and wasn't covered by clubland for the tournament finals, meaning he hasn't been on the payroll since November 1st.
The prop nearly joined the Eels mid-season, however the deal fell through after Manly refused to release the 32 year-old veteran for the remainder of the season.
The Daily Telegraph is reporting that despite having five NRL clubs after his signature now the salary cap drama is resolved, Parramatta have re-emerged as favourites as the Grand Finalists look to release Nathan Brown effective immediately.
Brown's likely move to the Wests Tigers for 2023 leaves a hole in Parramatta middle-third rotation, a position set to be filled by Taupau, and on significantly less money.
Whilst Nathan Brown is on reportedly close to $600,000 per season, Taupau would command significantly less at his age, set to turn 33 shortly before trials commence in February.
It's believed South Sydney and Newcastle were also interested in the veteran's signature for next season, with the two clubs losing Mark Nicholls and David Klemmer respectively, leaving a hole in their starting prop rotation.
Whilst Parramatta are drawing closer to his signature, their focus is still very much on Mitchell Moses as the halfback looks to set his future in stone just weeks after Dylan Brown's long-term extension.

WOW looks like the ghost of Carl Webb will bite again. I would take Nathan Brown any day.

He was actually pretty good a number of years ago but I think it is a mistake to sign him now.

totally agree with you. This current chump gravedigger isnt any better than the emperor. Made a grand final, but if only Eels had a decent coach and talent scout.
