I was amongst the fans that was asking for Arthur to be sacked but following that performance off against the cheating panthers I would give him a conditional contract beyond next year by inserting a clause in the contract which say if he fails next year to make the grand final the club have the right to terminate his contract without any compensation.
What if another club tries to poach him?

Moses was as good as Cleary last night and last week put in the best half back finals performance in years. He is an Origin player now and has a win rate over 55% at our club. Time to rethink your opinion of him. Mitch Moses is quality.
If he was that bad tigers fans shouldn't give a shit he left. If they think he will never win a comp why are they concerned. They have there little champion in Luke Brooks who has never lost a finals game

It would be such a dumb thing to happen consistently that you'd have to put it down to coincidence. Like Melbourne beating Manly 40-12 in finals matches.

There's no special skill required to win in week two finals matches, other than consistently being up against top six quality teams. Those are games you're likely to lose if you're not part of the big four.

Amazing stats. Just shows how incredible the Storm have been. I hate the purple merkins, but f**k they are good.

Yeah same. I noticed that first. Little injuries become longer to heal and occured more often. I also stared making a noise when I sit down occasionally. Like ahhhh.
White hairs was fine on my scalp. But then a few surfaced downstairs. That's when I knew my best days where gone.
My cock n' balls look like George Clooney.

You know whats more incredible that despite all the trauma they have caused us Parramatta have the best winning% of current teams against them in regular season matches all time 16 wins from 33 games since 98.

We just have the worst in finals though against them 0-7

That isn't more incredible.

Damn. Didn't want to hear that.
Originally, I was told a year and that most likely will be the case. I doubt it will get back to 100% but I did f**k it up real good so I'll have to live with it. Physio dude says he's amazed that I can lift my arm above the horizontal considering the damage I did. I can now lift it 180 degrees and pick up a case of 30 pack of beers with it.

If attacking coaches are such a non influence then why bother having them?
Because they do work that needs to be done. The head coach doesn't have enough hours in the day to do everything.

But of course there would be a difference between the best assistant coach and the worst. I just can't see it adding up to more than a single win over the course of a season. I'm certain it doesn't decide finals matches.
Is having two players who have played origin in the spine not good enough cattle? Moses was literally picked ahead of Reynolds this season.
There's a massive difference between any two players who "have played Origin". Our players have combined for a single Origin game in the spine (Moses this year). Meanwhile Souths have a combined 17 games. And this is not taking into account the other source of big match experience, being finals games.

But we now have an extra 34 games worth of finals experience in the squad than we did two weeks ago, and all but five of them (Ferguson x2, Smith x2 and Makatoa) are contracted to our club in 2022. Hopefully we get a few more players picked in Origin next year. That experience makes merkins better players, and therefore makes their clubs stronger.
