Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

[Gary Gutful]

After Avenger (I think) suggested Hasler as a potential coach you said

It wasn't pretty. Joel Monaghan got extradited for less.

This is a good post too mate!

+1.

I love eels fans. They’re quick to point out Hasler for all his (supposed) faults, yet they’re willing to accept BA and claim he’s better than Madge, Hasler and Toovey.

He might be better than Toovey, and probably is, since he has a job and Toovey doesn't. But nobody thinks BA is better than Maguire or Hasler, not even BA.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Or BA's mum.

9 months ago you thought Hasler would never coach again comparing him to Cartwright and Daniel Anderson

Just like Daniel Anderson and Des Hasler.

Hasler’s reputation is f**ked. Players don’t want to play for him because he’s an egg head.

What’s a parsnip?

It's like a woghdoo.

Well now he's back coaching again I think something different, don't I you f**ken idiot?

Snookered, merkin.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

How am I snookered? I thought he wouldn't coach again, just like I thought Daniel Anderson would. I didn't think Arthur would get re-signed. When has anyone ever gotten all their predictions correct?

You said he was shit, he isn't but you still are.

I can name a bunch of coaches we should/should have pursued.
Geoff Toovey (take him now)
Craig Bellamy (he is looking for a new challenge)
Shane Flanagan (I'd take him)
Des Hasler (lets try to get him)
Wayne Bennett (he was available last year and we never went after him)

Toovey - How is he any better?
Bellamy - yeah ok, so he rejected Brisbane last year but you think he will sign with us next year ? Additionally where did you hear he wanted a new challenge? If he did I reckon keeping the storm in the top 4 over the next few years without the big 3 is a fair challenge!!
Hasler - he is contract to manly why would he leave with the T’s and Evans in his squad ? Anyhow under contract
Bennett - we did go after him - https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/parram...-bennett/c9923cfb-f44d-4609-9ea6-1c35fc40badc
Flanagan - do you actually follow footy? He is suspend, so how wouId you go after him?

I didn’t like Spags as soon as I saw him wearing dress shoes without socks in our leagues club. He looked ridiculous.

Who doesn't wear socks? Im a class A bogun and even wear sock woth my thongs ffs.

Flanagan - do you actually follow footy? He is suspend, so how wouId you go after him?

THe same way the Roosters went after Daniel Anderson persuade the NRL to lift the ban.

 

[Eelementary]

I think it's telling that we still have so many off contract.

Absolutely - I think you're right.

He may already have had that chat with the team...

 

[Eelementary]

Seriously lets give Toovey a go. I would get him in to replace Mick O'Neil and then slide him in to coaching role as soon as Arthur gets us to the bottom 4.

You mean Mark O'Neill?

You haven't heard of some of our signings, therefore they're rubbish (in your eyes); but you don't even know who we have employed at the club...

 

[Eelementary]

Michael Jennings says "hi"

Absolutely!

I couldn't remember if Arthur signed him, but he absolutely counts!

 

[Happy MEel]

I’ll just leave this here.

A better question is when have I ever been wrong about anything. The only time was with Sandow, and I learnt a lot about the game from watching his rise and demise. Since then I've been right about everything.

 

[Gary Gutful]

hineysightrulz.

I'll pay that one.

Yeah Im calling it...I have egg on my face and am now on the Arthur bandwagon. He definitely f**ked up last year (as did the playing group) but he has well and truly exceeded my expectations and deserves another couple of years to see what he can do.

We need to be having premiership expectations though in that contract period as he has had a long tenure.
