So you need the coin hit to counteract the depressive state you find yourself in when BA's systems continually don't deliver
Actually the team mostly does deliver, and if I had $100 on the opposition every week I’d lose money every year (except 2018). The reason I win money every year is because I have realistic expectations about the team and know when to put $100 on the opposition vs when to only put $20 on. We have a solid team and a solid coach and we get good results. But there are better teams and better coaches and they usually get better results. It’s very exciting.
despite yourself putting him above most coaches in the nrl.
No I think he’s as good as most coaches in the NRL. Better than some and worse than a couple.
If you were realistic like myself and many here, you wouldn't need the hit as we understand Arthur as a half decent coach but no more, he doesn't cut it when it comes to the crunch games. His finals record is proof to that. Only beating a bum of a team in Newcastle and the donkeys who'd done f**k all in the years beforehand and after.
Actually he’s gotten us close to a couple of far superior teams in Melbourne (2017) and Penrith (2021). With more luck we could’ve won either game. Not bad for a club that won zero premierships in the 28 years before this coach took over.

In 2017 we got knocked out against an inferior team in the Cowboys and in 2021 we were underranked going into the finals which is why we had to face Penrith in week 2 so that situation was also of our own doing. If we don’t finish Top 4 this season then we also run the risk of being underranked and being eliminated early.

What was inferior about them? They were packed with Origin players and premiership winners and they won three finals matches that year. There was nothing inferior about them.
and in 2021 we were underranked going into the finals which is why we had to face Penrith in week 2 so that situation was also of our own doing.
WTF does 'underranked' mean? We finished where we deserved to finish. We faced Penrith because they lost in week one to an inferior team. Anything can happen on the day. They almost lost to us.
If we don’t finish Top 4 this season then we also run the risk of being underranked and being eliminated early.
If we don't finish top four it's because we are only one of several teams fighting for maybe only one available top four spot and some other team had better luck.

They’re all roughies ffs.

Sure. But one is 2.45 while one is 4-1 and 13-1
I'm unsure odds of one happening it's a fair bet as have 3 chances.
Plus if Eels beat Brisbane that 4-1 would close to 3-1. If Brisbane win you win bet.
I'll give you a bonus bet. If they make Preliminary bets cancelled. You'd also collect $100 from our previous bet.
