Can he get the Eels off the bottom of the table?

They've made some changes, the king is back but I'm not sure how much will change at the Eels in 2019.

Parra fans are pretty passionate, but are they patient enough if they have to endure another 2018?

I feel they'll struggle again, especially with their new spine which is going to take time to click.

But time is what Parra and Brad Arthur won't have in 2019.

If they don't get off to a flying start Brad Arthur could feel as if time is running out fast.

  1. Lol…are you running out of things to write about ZT? Hasn’t this article already been done? I can remember an article much the same as this only a couple months ago…

  2. Hmmmm certainly not a blog from a bias tigers fan.
    I think you can add your coach to the list. He went well with a star studded bunnies squad. Let’s see how he goes with an average tigers squad.

  3. Nathan Brown might be first to go if the Knights don’t start well. He’s already on notice that he needs to deliver a return to a winning culture or he’s not going to be in charge of the team he’s built. I think his strength is rebuilding a clubs roster ,but he isn’t a great strategist or motivator.

  5. The amount of coaches the Tigers have burnt through over the last decade I can’t see then turfing another one soon. I think he’s a lot safer than some.

  6. Stuart has been the luckiest coach in the NRL for the past decade.
    He has only made the Finals once in the last 10 seasons. Only year was back in 2016 where the Raiders should have made the GF no thanks to butter fingers Ed Lee. I honestly believe if the Raiders did make the 2016 GF they would’ve beaten the Sharks they did twice in 2016 already.

  8. Yeah Stuart has to be on shaky ground, the Raiders don’t look like there’s much upside there either. The Wighton switch seems like a move just try something different, but it feels a little like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

  9. I appreciate your comment.
    Yeah there’s a few ways you could rank them.
    I tried to put them in order of who I think has the most expectation.

    With the latest fiasco going on at Penrith, I think I nailed Cleary at no 1 😉
