There is a coach that would immediately take the job if offered to him and he isn't on the list. Won a NRL premiership and Super League titles.
Madge? Let's do it for (end of) 2025... or before, if BA can't steer this side into the 8 next season.
There is another who has has won a comp in the English Super League and I'd argue is as good as BA but not as stale.
Nathan Brown? He's on our payroll... Or Matthew Elliot?

Fitzy and Ciraldo can’t coach ? Stupid list.

It’s all about the squad, depth charts and injuries. Idiots.

A step back from a coach whose had 11 seasons and delivered Zero premierships?? Well, yeah, you can call it a step back, but it could end being a step forward. I think 11 seasons and no premierships is more than enough that we need to roll the dice/take a step back... However you want to phrase it...

In hindy-sight, I think we were mad not to have gone for Hasler before the Titans pounced....
I meant take a step back as in move to a rookie.

Not sure we have the strength/maturity in our player leadership for that added risk.

Anyone but BA is a step forward. Yet anyone but Gutho or Moses would be considered lunacy. Faulty logic steered by ineedapremiershipnow syndrome.

BA has had more than enough time with the nucleus of the squad that many, many pundits agree is a potent one. 3 out of 4 positions in the spine filled with elite players (4 out of 4 if you consider Mahoney was in the frame for Origin during some of his stint here), Origin class forwards and a few out of the box surprise packets. Rightly or wrongly, those players have all now been signed longer term than the coach atm.

Why wouldn't the fans want a change to see if we can get a premiership now with a different coach at the helm? We've waited going on 38 years already and BA has been the coach for more than a quarter of that time - let that sink in. It's f**king embarrassing when so many of the folks around here go on about us being a "powerhouse" and "destination club" yet when it all boils down to it, a so-called basket case club like the Tigers have had more success in the NRL era than Parra. These are the facts. So many poke fun at the Tigers and the Dogs but again... whenever Parra fail or come up short in any metric, we get the excuses trotted out that we don't have the resources and we're not attractive to 3rd parties.... So how are we any better off than those aforementioned clubs?? At the end of the day, every season, we're just another one of 15 (now 16) losers watching the premiers look around and piss themselves laughing at all of us...

Do you think we need a disciplinarian type coach or a mate's coach. BA seems more to be a mate's coach.
How about Johnny Morris?

I actually think BA isnt a bad man manager... i'm just not into his technical footy strategies

yes we definitely need a disciplinarian and if we need to get a rookie on board Bomber would be an adequate choice.
