Arthur's wins until 55%

[JokerEel]

Gonna be a tough job building an NRL team from scratch, I cant see the Bears having too much to offer, 7th out of 13 teams.

Hughes is off contract from the Storm would be a decent signing for 3 seasons.

I think they will let him move on as well and transition to their new halfback.

Is Galvin prepared to wait?

Massive blow for Storm as Ryan Papenhuyzen set to earn $2 million with rival team

Ryan Papenhuyzen appears to be the first genuine option floating around. Read more here.

BA attracts the best

 

[Stagger eel]

to be fair, it'll be an absolute joke if the storm were able to keep Paps, Fa'alogo, Wishart, Munster, Grant, Pezet and Hughes all in their squad with the addition of 1 maybe 2 teams in the next year or 2

 

[King-Gutho94]

Any Elite players like Papenhuyzen going to Perth will be going for the $$$$ that are on offer and being the face of the franchise.

I do assume Perth will be appealing for some extra third-parties and sponsorships deals with some heavy hitting corporate organisations if the Bears can break through that market even in an AFL town.

You only have to look at the Storm and the advantages they have being the only team in town.

It will have nothing to do with the coaching or the prospect of being with Brad Arthur

I imagine the Orr brothers will be licking the lips getting some of there clients through the door for a nice pay rise.

I reckon they're now regretting the Dylbro deal to Newi...

If Dylan was smart, he would have asked for a BA clause, to trigger early release if ever Brad returned to the NRL...

Don't think he will need one if he is garbage next year. Knight will grant him a release

Shit source, could be a Burgess fanboi, Burgess has never even coached in the NRL and only started coaching in the ESL last season.

 

[the phantom menace]

Both teams are equal on the Super League table... if I was Perth I'd be waiting as long as I could to appoint the first up coach, and judging on performance above reputations and networking etc.

Arthur’s record in England has been terrible. His team is better than the one Burgess coaches yet his results are inferior.

The difference being BA is proven OK in the NRL whereas Burgess is a nuffty. Bears would be taking a huge risk with Burgess as their maiden coach.

Burgess has more profile.

The nose is a no no though

Warrington finished in the top four every year from 2018 to 2021. Leeds haven't been top four since 2017. Warrington is a bigger club, with better recruitment, and maybe that's evidence Burgess is a better coach. But don't say Leeds has a better team. The teams are all garbage over there.
