Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

[Matty Bhoy]

It’s imperative we get the next coach correct. The whole place could burn to the ground if not.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Meeting Solly tomorrow apparently, to negotiate his contract details.

Yep we had our chance and snubbed at it 3 weeks ago when the board met.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

What was our record without Drown last year? Didn’t we win more than we lost?

If only we had scientific instruments sensitive enough to discover that data ffs

 

[ElectricEelMan]

Every single sports teams in every single sport around the world would have sacked Brad Arthur by now.

The board needs to be ruthless in all facets of the management of the team.

And the first ruthless task is to get rid of the coach.

Unfortunately the ones who need to making the decision are not ruthless but meek.

Meekness does NOT win premierships .... sort of iike how Brad Arthur will never win a premiership as head coach

 

[Noise]

Our record was better without Drown than with him. It wasn’t his absence that derailed our season.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Does he even have a style? No, he doesn't.
Our attack is shite. Our defence is shite. Absolutely no plan in any game whatsoever.
It is no wonder that our players look completely clueless game after game.
It has nothing to do with both Moses and Gutho missing.
Those two players have been the band aids that are holding the club and BA's job together, when they are available.
We've seen time after time that without them, we have no idea. Is it now 11 games in a row that we have lost when Gutho hasn't been captain or playing?
These two, on their own are evidence that BA should go, because they are the two players that have saved his arse for so long now.
If our board are serious about bringing success to this club, they would pull the trigger tonight.
What advantage is there in continuing with a stalwart that is clearly not going to take this club to the heights we are clearly capable of and CLEARLY have the resources to do so?

Cant disagree. Whenever I've heard Brad questioned on defensive issues his "always" reply is, they got their spacings wrong, we need to fix that up. NFI.

It's a fair point. RCG (4/10 without him) and Moses (2/5) were the bigger losses.

 

[Zoso]

How is that going to assist us with retention/recruitment? He should be sacked and the coach for Season 2025 announced ASAP. I don't care who the caretaker is.

Careful what you wish for; Barrett…

 

[Eelementary]

I'm sorry - he can't be sacked, because we're missing Moses.

This dope was part of a recruitment and retention committee that did not adequately fill our lower grades with a capable replacement that was a viable option - Sanders looked to be it, until he saw the light, and saw that his career would go nowhere under Arthur, so he committed career harakiri to go play for the halves killer coach instead....let that sink in...

Arthur selects the team.

Arthus creates the game plans.

Arthur makes on-the-fly changes.

Arthur is the one who instructs specific players on how he wants them to play.

He has failed in each category.


Not only that, but he has continually allowed players who take the absolute piss out of being a professional rugby league football player - I'm looking at you, Shaun "Freud" Lane, Junior "Bert" Paulo, and Maika "Burt" Sivo.

That stupid, shit-eating grin on Sivo's face when he scored his try...

Whatever good he did for the club has been well, and truly, eroded over the last few years.

He should be gone tomorrow.

Well why do you think we defend well some weeks and not others? There must be something we're doing wrong sometimes but not other times.

Personally I think plenty of players get their spacings wrong extremely often, but it's usually mitigated by inside defensive support. We generally lack this more than other teams so our mistakes on the edges are exposed more often.

Haven't you tried to tell us everything is down to "luck" and "resources", dopey?

So you agree with the rest of us mere merkins that BA's defensive systems are the issue, no worries.

 

[yy_cheng]

like it all magically going to work one day. It must be unbearable being Barret - even with all his coaching deficiencies

Didn't ba make that famous quote in the off season, i know this hasn't worked in the last few years but we've gotto make it work this year.

Nope. Not working Brad

Maybe his plan as the replacements were jake and boods but didn't realise how bad Jake really was. Btw is he still 18th man?

The best time to sack him was about Round 4, 2018. The second best time to sack him is tomorrow.

 

[DaveMc]

No but the word was it would happen after magic round.

I desperately, desperately hope we’ve been making a play for him, and gazump Souths. But I know that wouldn’t happen.

You'd think they've bought him as cover for DCE during Origin.

I actually think Someone at manly that brad knows did him a favour

He did.

I could not believe what I was hearing.

What a dope.

 

[Gherkin]

Apart from a payout, what benefit is there to not sacking BA today?
