Nah f**k that guy. Shit poster....

I said on FB to a mate that BA is the best coach Parra have had in my lifetime. I'm confident in saying that too. Smith was very good, but Arthur just has that something extra about him

you said after out special night you would always respect me :oops:

Top Three for me - Just behind Gibson and Monie and a smudge ahead of Fearnley but I am a bit older.

Na potentially third or better. But couldn't put him third in front of smith until he either wins a GF, or gets us to 1 Gf, 4 GF qualifiers and wins 2 minor premierships.

BA is doing a great job but he hasn't even got us to the semis just yet ( which I am sure he will do next year and hopefully this year)

:lol: Everyone else bar you must be an agenda driven f**kwit then.

My agenda is to win games at any cost and don't look for scapegoats if we get caught doing the dodge.

You wanted a strong NRL squad, don't f**king squeal when it turns out we were offering TPAs as an inducement to sign with us.

I really liked Brian's time here BUT there were plenty of issues and re-inventing of the wheel that tarnished his time. That and the way he left. He brought through some great players but he lost some too that went on to better things at other clubs. As much as people disliked Fitzy for much of Smith's tenure he kept a decent ship despite the dislike of each other.

Arthur has managed admirably surrounded by dickhead factions intent on f**king the club over whilst preaching they have the best interest of the club at heart. Most have only had self interest at heart.

Hopefully it remains that way.

I wouldn't mind us taking shoey on on a more permanent basis, not sure what his official role would be, but I'd be happy seeing him stay on.

He knows all the tricks and what not regarding cap management, what's allowed, and what isn't, and how far you can bend the rules before you're screwed. That will be valuable to us going forward.

CFO of the PNRL?

BA is a beast at absorbing adversity.

I guess with being at Storm when they were caught rorting and at Manly when they were always under siege with Board shit, he's had a lot of practice.

The Warriors Have Approached Brad Arthur

While Parramatta has been under siege from both on and off- field controversies, coach Brad Arthur has reportedly been approached by the Warriors.

With talk that Warriors coach Andrew McFadden is under pressure, Triple M and The Australian's Brent Read said that Arthur is on the Warriors' radar.

"The Eels could have another fight on their hands because my understanding is that the Warriors - or someone at the Warriors - has approached Brad Arthur," Ready said.

"He's been a rock at that club during a really difficult time, and the club has been a bit rudderless."

I said questions need to be asked. Do you think he has been wise in his marquee signings?

Well, retrospect is 20/20.

Watmough has cost a season and quarter of wages.

We can talk all day about whether one should have known that Foran would take time off for mental and physical issues, but the bloke played 19 games last year.

Yes, Arthur hasn't been perfect but I don't really see too many better options available right now.

So we can ask questions, but I still think the answer will be "Arthur's".
