In 48hrs BA could be looking for a new job.
Let's throw him in the water and see if he sinks he swims.
Who other than Gus * sacks a coach after he came 4th ?

* in a move which some might say was a reverse Jake Arthur, by employing Nathan's dad just to keep Nathan.

LMAO I was right then. Strong opinion based on zero inside knowledge. Now he begs for his job annually and is actually unemployable ? OK then.
He's won a spoon at two different clubs, this bum wouldn't even get a job at the Tigers. Quality defence Gronky keep that elbow pointing up nice and straight.

7th best differential. Storm and Roosters disastrous season injury wise.
If we lost to a side who just made the 8 after being pasted 13+ in week 1 then its game over. Huge failure if we lost to Canberra.
I can't beleive some peanuts are talking it up like we shouldn't win or it isn't a massive flop if didn't.

I'll say if we lost this its our biggest choke in finals since I have followed the side

Well, we know you weren't following them in 1998.

I'll tell you the story.
I was listening in the radio button TV it was delayed. With 10 to go I turned radio off and went and sat with Dad knowing/thinking we won.
He hated watching footy with me as a kid. He knew if listen to score and if I surfaced to watch the game Parra had won. If I went outside he knew we lost.

So I suprised the hell out of him. And of course myself.

So, if we lose (choke) tomorrow night it will be worse than the 1998 choke to the dogs?

I kept listening to it on the radio then had to watch it on TV afterwards because it I couldn't picture it.

Yes. That was a choke cause we had game won. But prior to kick off it was anyone's game by memory.
I'd say this would be a bigger choke then our 2005 loss to Cowboys

Ahhmmm, plenty would consider it when the 4th place happened in the 9th season as coach, with no silverware, besides a wooden spoon in those 9 years.


And 0/8 to make week 3.
If we faced Souths or Storm you'd maybe go ok yeah tough sides.
No disrespect to Canberra but they battled against Saints and Newcastle in the last 5 weeks of footy.

What other coach in the NRL has had the same assistant coach for 9 seasons? None.

What other assistant coach has been at the same club for 9 seasons? None

Every other club (whether strong or not) has turned over all of their assistants in that time. How many assistants have the Roosters and Storm had in 9 years with the same head coach?

He should have been turned over long ago, but because he is a Neville Nobody, it is likely he can't get any sort of gig anywhere else, so he just keeps begging for a job here.

It appears that even when he is being replaced he will still get a gig here, primarily I'd say because we don't want him to be unemployed. No one else seems interested in him, why have we for so long?

What does this have to do with JA??

Get back on track please!

That is it basically he needs to get the 16 players tomorrow night to turn up or he can go now... I still think the club needs to let him go at the end of his contract.
