Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

[Poupou Escobar]

I was more referring to the insane clause in Foran's contract that let him walk out, but I didn't state that - my bad.

Hodgson, and Watmough, are fine players - but they were old, and injury-prone, when we signed them - I don't think they were good signings.

Hodgson missed a couple of seasons injured but the one right before we signed him was fine. If Watmough was injury prone he certainly played through his injuries, playing 20+ games every single year since 2006.

Is there a pack in the game that is effective when they are on the back foot?

Penrith.

I've witnessed them time, and time again, turn their defence into stack, by suffocating opposition attacks.

Hodgson had recovered from the knee injury (injured in 2020) and played 20 games (in 2021) when we signed him. He injured his knee again (in 2022) after we signed him (for 2023).

I still reckon it was a risky move to sign him, given his age.

A classy player, no doubt - but a desperate move by the club, imo.

Watmough missed a few games for us due to niggles, which is fine - you'd expect a player who has played for Australia, and NSW, on a regular basis, to miss some games.

But, again - it was the fact he was again, combined with the fact his body was starting to fail him.

Arthur no doubt signed him to be a leader, and that was possibly an astute move.

But on the field, he struggled.

A leader that didn’t want to be here, he admitted that. lol another Bea Arthur classic.
