Round 17 vs Eels

I hope that with all the news about JDB signing with the Eels and Sloan told he can negotiate with rival clubs and possibly other issues that may be going on at the club, that these issues won't affect the players in this game on Saturday. It might be tougher than what it should be given the circumstances. How does SF get the players to fully focus on the job at hand? Will the players lift? Will JDB play a great game knowing that he will be playing with the club we are facing next year or will he just go through the motions?

I have a strong feeling that Sloan will end up with a good NRL Club as he does have talent but needs a coach who actually knows what Sloan needs to work on. Just by SF putting him back to reserves isn't the way that Sloan should "learn". All of his faults are needed to be remedied, the main one being handling his defence better. The other things like catching high balls etc would only be minor and should be easy to fix but his defence and taking the ball up hard needs to be worked on. Maybe Bennett or Bellamy might be the answer to who he needs to manage/coach him. Super League to me he will fail in so I don't think that going overseas to play is an option for Tyrell. This is just my take.

I hope that we win on Saturday night. Out of the next 4 or more games, this one is the one we have to win and then take one week at a time with the others.
