Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

[hineyrulz]

You didn't suggest it, I was answering your "what if" question. The short answer is no change to what I had suggested before your question.

If you really don't give a jizz about what happens after BA's current contract, then keep your jizzing non-questions to yourself!

U want him?

 

[yy_cheng]

U want him?

No.. Ppl were saying that 5 in a row wow, look at what ba and bazza has done.

I've always said it was against the shitter teams. Against the ones who defends with effort, we are no match.

If we make the finals and win 2 final matches or more, then i will change my vote to yes.

Let's see how mr potato head handles this

I'm not remotely a fan of the coach, and feel
his lack of ability has held the playing group back, but, the coach doesn't:
- pay $4k instead of missing the first 3 games of the season that were all close losses (Matterson)
- knock a blokes head off in the last seconds of a game we had already won against the Panthers and is forced to miss 2 weeks, and we lose one of those games (Paulo)
- commit a professional foul and get 10 in the bin and our opponents run riot and we're out of the match as a result (Gutho)
- spend the first third of the season deciding whether you want to stay at the club, when most top players get it done before 1 November, and clearly cause a distraction for everyone else (Moses)
- Grope a woman in a nightclub during the Bye and cause your team to be without you for 7 weeks (Drown)
- continually raise his arm in tackles when he runs the ball and hit opponents in the head when trying to tackle them so much that you get 3 weeks off (Sivo)
- Fight a stupid charge at the judiciary that costs your team another week without you (Sivo...again)
- Lazily go in for a tackle and knee a bloke in the back costing your team 4 weeks without you (RCG)
- Likely spend more weeks on the sideline after a pretty blatant hip drop (Matterson).

Whatever we think of the coach, the players have put themselves into this situation with self-inflicted actions.

Though panfers can next man up and rest their origin starts because they are holistic in their approach.

We rely purely on the brilliance of the individual to make everything happen though, so the next man up approach will never work at Parra.

I suspect alone if Matterson spends $4k out of his own pocket, then we win 2 more games to start the season, and our whole season looks completely different than it does now.

Our season was done and dusted 48 hours after last seasons GF.

Really. I thought bazball fixed that in our attack.

#culture...

Coach has to take some responsibility for their players who should know better doing stupid things (on field or off).

This is true - and Matterson's decision contributed to (and arguably was influenced by) our team culture.

 

[the phantom menace]

If we make the finals and win 2 matches or more, then i will change my vote to yes.

Last season was the only time we've achieved this in a 10 year reign. It won't happen this year - even if we make the finals.

If we miss the 8 after being grand finalists last year, coach should be put out on his arse early as soon as we've lined up and signed our next man in replacement.

 

[Chipmunk]

Really. I thought bazball fixed that in our attack.

We've yet to have our best 17 on the field all season, but we have the second best attack in the comp. I suggest our attack is the least of our worries.

Matterson playing the first 3 matches would've improved our defence in three close losses though.

 

[King-Gutho94]

To sack BA you have to find a solution.

While i have had the knives out for a while.

Dumping him and getting a replacement isn't always the answer. Sometimes it's better with what you know then what you don't.

At least with BA we have had a competitive team who can challenge at there best but still have issues that regularly happen.

Ciraldo and O'Brien was supposedly two gun assistant coaches from great systems but haven't turned around there sides.

Webster no one knew who he was has turned the warriors around and bought in. His credentials look good atm but long term outside of Cleary and Daniel Anderson no coach at the warriors has put b2b successful seasons.

Holbrook seems a great tactically with the ball but defence for the Titans was horrid his whole tenure.

Who else is there out there that would be a good fit.

Bennett in 2025 could be an answer to squeeze the last juice out of the likes of Gutho, Moses, Reg for one last tilt in a 2 year stint 25/26. But even then that could have dire consequences long term.

 

[the phantom menace]

If BA mises the finals this year, sign up Adrian Lam from Leigh Leopards for 2025.

Lam must want to come "home" eventually to coach, and if BA chucks a Brian Smith and quits early during 2024 then Barrett can be caretaker.
