The same merkins who gave us the 2020-22 premiership window?
I’m sure it works the same way at all the top clubs. They just have more options during recruitment/retention because they spend so much on pathways.
It’s not technique, it is mobility. The best defensive teams are full of toilers. We have a bunch of thicc bois. Good in attack, not in defence.
“Good in attack” is extremely debatable
It’s a fair point. We start recruitment for 2026 in just over six months. But the 2025 squad is pretty much this plus Lomax. Nobody is taking the 30 year olds without us subsidising them. They aren’t youngsters like Lomax or 2017 Mitch Moses.
Is that the name of the club you drink at in Perth??
If Arthur is in his last year he won’t be having any say in recruitment or retention.
This year, for sure. Imagine how good they’ll be next year!
lol I’m a homosexual!
Yes, but he doesn't drink.
Not that there is anything wrong with that!
If he’s that much of a lame duck, there’s simply no purpose to be served by him being around anymore.
*swallow
Depends on his relationship with the players
What does that matter by that point?
Well considering he was taking over from an era where we received two wooden spoons and missed the finals more often than not you would certainly hope he did with the superior squads he had at his disposal. The bar wasn’t exactly set all that high was it?
Because we want to still win games while we're cleaning the merkins out.
Agreed, he built a good squad. And then it wasn't. Or he had nothing to do with it.
I don’t understand this. You think they’re going to either fall on their swords and leave the club of their own volition to do a favour for Arthur, who already would have no future for the club; or otherwise keep putting in for Arthur’s sake when he already has no future at the club, but wouldn’t do the same for a new coach who might actually have a real role to play in their future employment prospects?
