I am not really sure anymore, tbh...

I posted a few weeks ago that I wanted to persevere with Arthur, but honestly...I know the Storm are a red-hot side, but conceding 60 should never be acceptable.

Hell, conceding 40 points should be unacceptable, and under Arthur's watch, we have conceded 40 points too many times...

Has he built a decent squad? We are getting there, but tonight proved we are a long, long, long, long, long way off.
We let 50 points in i just our second game under him.

And half that team are still here, his loyalty to absolute Plodders is what should cost him his job. Taka tonight had a hand in 4 out of the first 5 tries.

Only in BA’s world is he a first grade centre.

Been thrashed by all the top 4 teams this season so far,Roosters/Raiders/Storm

5/9 is meaningless when you get thrashed by good teams,nobody give a f**k if you beat donkeys

And beating pre-season top 8 fave's like Panthers, Dragons when we were tipped by most to be the Spoon favourites. And we weren't "thrashed" by the Roosters.
We're not dead yet.

He has been ok. Just isn't smart enough to go next level. Unsure if I trust in his ideas and game plan and recruiting drive.

Recruitment has been good, imo.

Junior Paulo, Marata Niukore, Shaun Lane, Blake Ferguson, Mitchell Moses, Clint Gutherson...

Problem is he seems unable to get the team to lift for more than one week at a time...

5/9. Hardly a throat slitting start to the season. You're the weirdo wanting us to lose.
Not even the Dogs let in 60 points.

And their side is full of reserve graders.

This is what BA’s players that he has built and have hand picked offered up with him still off contract. The Newcastle game was all the proof I needed to tell me Arthur won’t win us shit at another spoon.

Tonight’s effort reminded me of 1995, at lead then we had a team not close first grade standard.

Even against Dogs we were down 10-0 but they’re shit enough to allow us to recover. Likewise Saints.

Ruck defence is woeful, we can’t wrestle and it’s the same thing every year.

To think that Wayne Bennett was available and they didn't throw everything at him....

This club is the dumbest club
Was he really available?
He had a contract at Brisbane that they let him leave only because the coach they wanted came available and he only became available because Bennett was replacing him... besides, our coach was under contract at the start of the year.

Of course he was available. He had agreed to go to the Panthers before the Broncos / Souths swap happened

Letting n 64 points in a game is a Death sentence.

The amount of times we have been flogged and played soft under this coach is alarming.

Thank god the ooard have stuck firm and refused to give him
Another contact.

He was available the moment Brisbane told him they were not interested in resigning him.

Our wrestle has been rubbish since 2014. And it hasn’t improved I’d argue it’s gotten worse.
