Fans don't want to sign any particular coach (except Bellamy and merkins like him). They don't offer solutions, just problems. Most fans were just happy we sacked Kearney. They didn't care who we replaced him with.

I can name a bunch of coaches we should/should have pursued.
Geoff Toovey (take him now)
Craig Bellamy (he is looking for a new challenge)
Shane Flanagan (I'd take him)
Des Hasler (lets try to get him)
Wayne Bennett (he was available last year and we never went after him)

No he doesn’t. If you go back he would have said something completely different when it happened.
I didn't want Anderson at the time but I also wasn't convinced he was a poor coach. I thought Kearney would be good but he turned out average.

I actually learned a lot about the importance of coaches, players and front office administration from that whole saga. It has shaped my ideas today, and is part of why I know so much more than the rest of you deadshits.

I think what Brad needs to do is get angry at practice. A week of angry practice.
Does anyone think he fires up at practice or just stays calm and docile the way he presents at every other time that we actually see him. Has anyone ever seen him flip? Has anyone ever read a rumour that he flipped and has kicked arse all week at training?
If he doesnt have it in him get someone in who does as an assistant because that Kidwell guy is just as docile.
It will never happen mate, it's becoming evident that he is far to chummy with the players, hence why they love and respect him. His they're mate, not they're coach.

Once they’re board members they’re no longer fans.
I'd argue that they are but even if they aren't that is utterly irrelevant and shows that you are compeletely bereft of a clue and totally out of your depth on this.

Look at all of the factions that have destroyed our club - how did they start? Bonehead fans and hangers on who treated our club like their little play thing. Is that not true?

Blaming the clubs downfall on ‘fans’ is a copout you dopey f$&k.
It most certainly isn't when you take the time to properly consider the point that I am putting forward.

You'll see that several people have agreed with me.

I suppose they are dopey f**ks as well?

Alvaro and Paulo being fat and ineffective this year is the direct responsibility of the coaching staff headed by BA.
Paulo is the fittest he's ever been. It's not his fitness that makes him a poor defender, that's just the type of player he is. He is an attacking specialist. Look at the start of the Panthers game. He is one of the best forwards in the comp when we have all the ball. He's a good addition to the team, but we need to cover him in defence with three hard workers.

Alvaro bulked up because we needed size, but it turns out it doesn't suit him. He'll lose the extra weight and go back to his old form.

Have you and Pou made love yet? Because all I see is you two dribblers liking and masturbating over each others posts.

Some of your worst posts today, Gaz. You’ve been infected by the circular logic master and your either too tired or drunk to realise it.

Give it a rest mate and come back another day.
Try actually discussing the points I have put forward and convincing me I'm wrong instead of trying to assault me with a wet lettuce.

I bet you can't you PISSANT.

Now I've had time to calm down, I'll answer your questions.

Orford, Lyon and now Cherry-Evans

Ennis was the captain there. Not a noted yeller.

Gallen

Are you seeing a pattern? These successful coaches all have experienced leaders who are cool but still vocal under pressure.
Now I see it. That’s why we will now win a comp with BA and Gutherson.

So let me get this. Loud coach who gives a spray means you must have cool level headed leaders. They are mutually interdependent. Who did Madge have again and who does he have now?

Listen you f**king dribbler, stop clutching at straws. It’s all about respect for your coach. They don’t respect Arthur which is why we have inconsistency combined with his lack of intellect and communication skills. He even admitted that they are sick at the sound of his stupid voice.

You going to now hang your hat on a couple of players that lead with a cool swagger combined with a coach that can effectively spray the players as an ingredient for success?

Hahahahahah

Now I’ve heard it all.

First like one of Pou’s posts you pelican. You have had a bad day and not making sense. I told you to take a rest. You need to listen to me. You sound stupid.

Ok, I know we are all upset, and have been for some time.

But no ability to recruit elite talent? Come on, man - that's not true:

Blake Ferguson
Junior Paulo (always there, or thereabouts, in conversation for Origin selection)
Keiran Foran
Nathan Brown
Anthony Watmough (age notwithstanding)
Mitchell Moses
Shaun Lane (his stats this season are elite-level)

Arthur has many areas of opportunity that need to be addressed, but he has, over the years, recruited well.
Michael Jennings says "hi"

When all these coaches were suggested last year Gary the man infected with circular logic panned them. Every single f**king one of them.

When I suggested we sack Arthur last year and go after one of them I was criticised. Give him more time they said. Now we have extended the idiot and we either have another 2 years of pain or pay him out which I suggested last year.

What about Gutherson? Do you think his they're captain?

He is mates with BA and he needs to take BA aside and give him a face slapping and explain why the players are disrespectful to him on and off the field. Guth should be the one to explain it to BA because they seem to be mates. If my mate was being disrespected at his place of work and couldnt actually see it I would take him aside and explain it.

I don't think Gutherson is premiership winning captain material just yet. He is better as just another confident merkin in the leadership group than a figurehead and calming influence.
So let me get this. Loud coach who gives a spray means you must have cool level headed leaders. They are mutually interdependent. Who did Madge have again and who does he have now?
He had Sutton and now he has Mbye. What a pair of f**ken ball tearers they are!

In what way am I not making sense? Try challenging my ideas instead of insulting me.

What I have said is defendable. What part of it do you think is wrong?
