very true, the Eels cant sustain some good form for any length of time. By rights they should not have lost any games at there new fortress, because the 2 loses they were down right pathetic.
Even though BS is a dinosaur now I would prefer him to this damn janitor, just be prepared for a lot of choking in the playoffs.

Even though BS is a dinosaur now I would prefer him to this damn janitor, just be prepared for a lot of choking in the playoffs. Losing to the Bulldogs and Panthers at home was unforgivable. It showed the Janitor as an ordinary coach. Brian Smith definitely knows how to get to a grand final, but it ends tragically. I don't think he has ever lost a grand final on a decent performance. If you look at the Raiders this year, Brian Smith coached teams have never put in a performance like that in a grand final. Although, Eels will definitely be competitive every game during the regular season under BS, unlike the Janitor. |

I would prefer a team that is consistent during the regular season than be all over the place under a toilet cleaner. It was tragic in the playoffs under BS. I wouldnt object to Anderson being coach again. He has been to the GF twice and I think he is a very good coach personally.

I wouldnt object to Anderson being coach again. He has been to the GF twice and I think he is a very good coach personally. Anderson was the last decent coach at the Eels. Stephen Kearney was terrible and Ricky Stuart had no loyalty or commitment to the club. Here's a list of all the coaches since 1947. Frank McMillan 1947 Vic Hey 1948−1953 Charlie Gill 1954 Johnny Slade 1955 Cec Fifield 1956 Ken Slattery 1957 Jack Rayner 1958−1960 Ron Boden 1961 Ken Kearney 1962−1964 Ken Thornett 1965−1966 Brian Hambly 1967 Ian Johnston 1968−1969 Ron Lynch 1970 Ian Walsh 1971−1972 Dave Bolton 1973−1974 Norm Provan 1975 Terry Fearnley 1976−1979 John Peard 1980 Jack Gibson 1981−1983 John Monie 1984−1989 Mick Cronin 1990−1993 Ron Hilditch 1994−1996 Brian Smith 1997−2006 Jason Taylor 2006 Michael Hagan 2007−2008 Daniel Anderson 2009−2010 Stephen Kearney 2011−2012 Brad Arthur 2012, 2014−present Ricky Stuart 2013 |

I dont know much about the early coaches, but Terry Fearnley and Jack Gibson were both great. The only good one since was Daniel Anderson, I would hire him again in a heartbeat to get rid of the toiletbowl cleaner.

He was worse than the Janitor. Jason Taylor was just a temporary replacement because Brian Smith left mid year, but should have gone with JT for another two years, until it seemed obvious he should be punted. Michael Hagan would be the worst coach in the Eels history, although I'm no expert on the early coaches. |

Fitzgerald signed Hagan, so does that tell you something??? I honestly believe that Fitzgerald kept signing dregs at inflated prices, so on the books they earned more than what they actually got and he pocketed the rest.
At the time Jason Taylor took over the Eels for that half season the Eels performed really well under him for the remainder of that year, everybody wanted him to continue but that asshole Emperor signed Hagan. The Rabbits got Taylor but he was terrible there. I dont think Hagan was worse than Kearney and the turd cleaner, but I do think he was pathetic.

Fitzgerald definitely was a failure at his job in the end. Only a fool would support a boss that doesn't produce results. He even wanted to merge the club with anyone willing to join, when the Eels didn't need to merge. He wanted a merger with Balmain or North Sydney. Can you believe that!! His reason was the Eels need to merge to guarantee their future. I think he just wanted to run a bigger club giving him access to more money. Jason Taylor was always going to failure as coach anyway, because you don't see him coaching an NRL team today. His stint coaching the Wests Tigers was a failure. |

CEO is a dirty word at the Eels, one failure after another. I hope that finally turns around under the grave diggers watch. The Emperor was all about more money in his pocket. Why he honestly thought people would want him back after years of failure is beyond me.
The Eels round 1 team on NRL.com looks awesome, I wish we had a coach.

In the past 20 years, every club has won a premiership except Eels, Raiders, Warriors and Titans. Eels are looking really bad these days. It's one thing to suffer a drought, but to not win when everyone else has, suggests there is something the Eels aren't doing right, that everyone else is getting correct. Unless it all comes down to the law of averages?
The law of averages is the commonly held belief that a particular outcome or event will over certain periods of time occur at a frequency that is similar to its probability. Depending on context or application it can be considered a valid common-sense observation or a misunderstanding of probability. This notion can lead to the gambler's fallacy when one becomes convinced that a particular outcome must come soon simply because it has not occurred recently (e.g. believing that because three consecutive coin flips yielded heads, the next coin flip must be virtually guaranteed to be tails).
As invoked in everyday life, the "law" usually reflects wishful thinking or a poor understanding of statistics rather than any mathematical principle. While there is a real theorem that a random variable will reflect its underlying probability over a very large sample, the law of averages typically assumes that unnatural short-term "balance" must occur. Typical applications also generally assume no bias in the underlying probability distribution, which is frequently at odds with the empirical evidence.Put more simply - it's only a matter of time until they win. |

The Eels will win a GF if they get things right quickly. The team is there, so they only need a coach, dont even need the best coach just a coach that can coach to some degree of competence. Lets see if the grave digger is worthy of what he is getting paid???

wow he is still under 50% in wins. How lousy is that.
Flushing toilets is definitely a specialty of his. He needs to get his head out of the bowl and start doing what he is paid well to do.

Winning percentage only 47%!! No wonder we call him the janitor. If we just look at 2019, 14 wins and 10 losses is lousy. That's 58.33% and look at the team available. 2018 was 25%. |

The janitor definitely has a very good team to work with, he just doesnt have the ability to get the best out of them. I hope the grave digger sees this and deals with it swiftly. Even though the general public never really knows exactly what goes on the the front office, I hope the grave digger handles this situation well.
