Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

[ram raid]

There’s no f**ken volatility in these parts! Merkin!

I agree. I am good. I am great. I am wonderful

 

[T.S Quint]

In their one grand final appearance without Cam Smith they were smashed 40-blot. Possibly just coincidence but it's a hell of a correlation.

Incredibly small sample size.
They also got smashed in last year’s GF with Cameron Smith in the team (Slater as well).
Doesn’t mean they aren’t a great team who are well coached. Can’t win them all.

By the way, I f**king hate Bellamy, Smith and the whole Storm organisation. Would love to see them fall into a heap some day soon. That day just doesn’t seem to be coming though.

So if Smith hadn't played you reckon the result would've turned out better for them?

Besides the Roosters the Storm still have easily the best squad on paper, helped by all Dat sweet TPA cash.........

Iff Bellamy was the coach everyone wanked on about he would of left the Storm for a challenge. Even Bennett left the Donkeys and their Bronco Dollars. But no the safety of Cammillions bosom and TPA’s it is.

That's geniused logic. Bennett left because he burnt his bridges at the Broncos on more than one occasion.

Bellamy doesn't have to coach at another club to find a challenge. Plenty of challenges involved with replacing the caliber of players that have left the club over the years.

You'd never hear anyone bag Sir Alex Ferguson for staying at a highly successful Man U club for as long as he did.

I get that Bellamy's a merkin but credit where its due.

 

[T.S Quint]

Logic suggests no.
Logic also suggests that Manly would have pasted a massive score on Melbourne in that GF whether Smith was playing or not. Manly were fantastic that year while Storm only scraped into the GF.

And now I can't even remember what my original point was.
f**k. What am I even arguing?

If I've got myself a cushy job where I get all the resources I could want plus a competitive salary and great yearly results, there's not much chance I'm going to leave.

"Finding a new challenge" is just media speak for "My job is shit and I'm going to get out before they sack me".

I think the result is different in the fact that Bellamy and Waldron spent the week bitching about Smith missing the GF (as he was charged and suspended correctly) and how unfair it was.

If they actually focused on the rest of the team and you know, the biggest game of the year then maybe the result would have been closer.

Further to that, if Smith did play then they wouldn't have had to try and play the victim all week and prepared much better for the game.

Here is this Reading the Play merkin again. He rates himself as a judge deluxe.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Bash him, Thor!!

 

[Gazzamatta]

His Drown comment is wrong.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Bash him with a hammer!!

Maybe, but they like watches.

Avengers Endwatch.

 

[Gronk]

Remember when it was Paul Green who knew how to coach and BA had no f**king idea ? Good times.

 

[Avenger]

Green can coach, he is just stale which BA will be one day with us if not already. I'll do my final assessment in the semis when I see his tactics and the bench rotations. Then I will do my final flip or flop.

 

[Bazal]

I predict you might surprise us all and flap...
