Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

[Avenger]

I'll be honest, I'm sure there are better coaches. I just don't think there's that many of them.

Is he better than Hasler?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I don't think so. I actually think Hasler is one of the best.

I rate Hasler too and if we were to part ways with BA after season 2023 I'd jump on Hasler.

Hasler wont come to a club that wont let him control recruitment, otherwise he would stay at Manly.

Credit where it is due - that was a fantastically coached game. BA thoroughly outsmarted Ricky, the open style was perfect for f**king the Raiders.

No I think that's on the senior players. That's why Bennett said the captain is more important than the coach.

So the coach simply clocks off after Round 25? What garbage... and indicating captain as "more important" is a quite different to saying finals performance is "out of his [the coach's] hands".

I guess what it means is that there's too many moving parts to give too much credit or blame to the coach. Stuart has a phenomenal finals record. If that says a lot about him why didn't he get his team up tonight?

Spent too much time talking to kenty, hooper and Crawley forgot about the side.

Hasler's record speaks for itself, but i wouldn't want him to have full control of the recruitment which makes it a moot(lol moot) point because as @emjaycee says he may as well stay Manly.

Has only got 1 year left a manly, he would struggle to get a job again if he wants the same control…

think he will have to give a little to ever coach again, once his manly contract is up….

moot

lol

3 people have changed there vote overnight.

Preliminary final was a pass mark for this year for me. But it would be nice to win it now we are so close especially its taken us this long to get back here.

Arthurs stuck it up at you merkins in the presser! "Someone's got an agenda, and they're not gonna break us." Take that merkins!

GF WIN

I'm not changing my vote based on last night. We beat Canberra at home. Great but I didn't expect anything less.
I expect us to beat Cowboys. If we did go out in a real close battle I would understand. If we got belted I wouldn't.
But I feel we are just to strong for them. They don't have the same quality in the spine. Our forward will handle there forwards.

Who ever leaked that is just pure evil. To do it on the eve of semi is a dog act. Only management have access to that report. You don’t do that to the team to the coach and the club. But it could be a motivating factor now.

 

[hineyrulz]

lol

I already laughed at that merkin ffs!!

That’s a moot point.

Yeah agree.

BA has never lost a preliminary final yet.

Might be his speciality unlike Brian Smith who got us to the prelim in nearly every finals series he coached but lost 4 of them.

It’s been reported that a summary of the findings was released to key stakeholders. The leak hasn’t come from within the club.
