Does Brad Arthur deserve the hype?

I'm sure there were plenty on here who wanted JT. I was one of those. I don't know what his man-management skills are like, but his understanding of the game seems top notch. Reading just one article of his was enough to convince me. And the fact that he's been employed as the attacking brains for one of the most successful teams of the last few years is further evidence of his quality.

That said, I wasn't too unhappy to get Arthur. Players do seem to like him. Some of the selections though leave me baffled, but I'm just a whinging fan.

Yep, there were a few of us, but we were the minority.

My rationale was jt had time to grow up, and watching his sides play you can tell they are well coached

Hate to say it avenger, but been wanting to say it for a while but worried about the reactin, but it is true. Many lack football intelligence, anticipation, and low will power - there I said it.

Mate we play like our under 20's that have a similar mix. We may aswell relocate to NZ. I couldn't give a f**k. I believe it. Why do you think that the Warriors signed Ryan Hoffman? Same thing. It happens all the time. Many coaches believe it. I wouldn't know I don't get to see the nitty gritty.

How many Quarterbacks in the NFL are African Americans?

Please, injuries happen to every side, this isn't 1993, these days players should be able to step in and do the job- happens in every other professional sport...

We dont have the same amount of talent as most NRL sides. Injuries hit us hard!

BA needs to prove something fast.Everyone on here seems to love him and he started year well.But he didn't get us up for our last two games last year which cost us top 8. And we have been off tempo the last few weeks.

Im happy to see how things pan out but next year in his 3rd year.If we aren't in the top 8 than fire him. He will have his side than with foran watmough and scott all big names. Top 8 or gone

For those that are more in the know, what is the likelihood of a change of board at this election next month?

This is going to Brad Arthur's biggest issue if there is a change of the board.

I just want Arthur to talk about something other than completion rates at the presser. It's getting f**king boring.

Watching the presser with BA, I think he will look to make some changes for next week.
He seemed rightly pissed that with our error rate and the fact that players were passing to players not in a better position then themselves.

Look for Pauli, Richie and Tepai to be back next week.

Interesting to see for who though.

We led at halftime both today and last week. There's a reason we fade in the second half and I'm sure Arthur knows what it is. The question is whether he is able to fix it.

One reason might be that the opposition are better than us, which is a tougher one to fix. Taka coming back should help quite a bit, and I would try Robbo at FB, at least in attack.
