Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2693199, member: 1899"] He sort of reminds me of Mal in the sense that Mal had a really crappy club career as coach but turned his reputation around in the representative arena. I don't know if Kearney has what it takes as an NRL coach. It's a much more hands on job that requires so many more hats than representative coaching but gee he gave himself no hope by taking the Parra job. Granted, he ended up adding to the mess but a lot of people seem to blame him for the mistakes Anderson and the administration made. Daniel Anderson came in, made a lot of really good short term changes that resulted in the Eels making the Grand Final but in the long term left them completely out at sea. The board got a whiff of this, didn't really give Dan a chance to clean his mess up and put a rookie coach in charge. It was always going to end in tears. I think what fans need to remember with Parramatta is that they were supposed to be the side to beat in certain years. Years like 2008 and 2010 were meant to be about Parramatta. Instead, teams like Cronulla and Penrith, who the average fan didn't see a lot in, somehow found themselves well entrenched in the 8 while Eels were off celebrating the first Mad Monday of the season. It sort of typifies the club to that extent and for mine makes for frustrating Rugby League because teams with that much talent shouldn't be as bad as they are. Sadly, I don't see things changing all that much next year. Sure, Foran is a nice upgrade on Sandow but I get a real Adam Dykes type vibe from the signing. [/QUOTE]
