Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

[Twizzle]

Unless we can get a dummy half that can go more than 35 minutes a game or one that has some sort of commitment. The might patch it up with Mitch's "Terrier" attitude but Gutho has been there for a couple of the 40+ scorelines

yeah, its easy for a DH to play 80 mins when they don't run with the ball, or even tackle for that matter

I was reliably informed that Nrown was not being picked over the likes of Maka and Ogden cos he is "not a prop"

Little birds?

Kemp on the Captains run made an interesting point about the timing to move BA on now (not the decision but why now, not end of season).

With Moses/Gutho coming back, it had to be done now, just in case the eels went on a run, it would make it harder to sack BA....

He must read what I have been posting

Then he would be discussed in the "Next Eels Coach" thread at that time.

I'm sure we'll be looking at him this Saturday night..... As he runs straight through our ruck defence and puts his support players under the sticks.....

I thought he did better in the centres then Steve Turner/ Nathan Merritt did on the wing at SOO level tbf.

Interesting, maybe the new sponsors didn't want bea and was willing to pay his pay out

Maybe. Would (or could) a wealthy sponsor have any say on coach selection? Or player selection, for that matter?

In 2022 Moses was playing injured towards the end of the year. Jake Arthur, who had not been seen near FG for 10 weeks (since the last injury) was put on the bench in Rnds 18 and 19. Moses missed Rnds 21 and 22 injured. In those games the halves were JA and Dylan. When Moses returned, JA remained on the bench as cover right through up to the GF.

The spot on the bench that Nathan Brown took in the GF was constantly changing. It was normally Makka, but BA often slotted in Ogden or Cartwright. Carty 2022 was not the same player as Carty 23/24. He played 10 FG games that year. Ogden was ineffective and Makka was vanilla. The selection of Nathan Brown was from left field but playing the best team in 20/30/40 years he rolled the dice. I guess you are pissed that Makka, who had played 24 games that year, missed out on the GF that he deserved?

Do you really think that carrying a rubbish back up half on the bench ‘just in case’ is a good idea in the Grand Final? Moses played origin with a broken back he’d probably have to have broken a leg to get him off the field.

Should we create a 'Bring back BA' thread now, as a pre-emptive measure?

If your reasoning not to pick him is because semi injured Moses probably would have made it through the game, then fair play. There is a long list of coaches that would not take that chance however and would have a utility on the bench.

So BA chose 2 "locks" on the bench for the GF? ... wtf was he thinking?!

Someone told him during GF week that the game had got faster and therefore a need for more mobile forwards.
