Does Brad Arthur deserve the hype?

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.

Your prediction that Parra will be Top 4 all year and fade but still finish in the Top 8 isn't looking too good at the moment Pou

We beat Souths without them in the side, to me it is a cop out excuse.

We were very soft in the middle under Stuart, very, and it still hasn't been rectified. It is either a genetic thing, or we don't have the right coaches. All good cosches implement stronge trenches.

What if we've been over coached since pre-season started?
Too much intense physical exertion going on.
Maybe they need to design a better approach so that players bodies can relax, especially after intense physical duels against Warriors, Dogs, Rabbits, Tigers & now Titans.
We really looked flat today as we did against the Tigers.

Having a hooker and useless middle link man who links with nobody on the bench while most other sides go in with 4 forwards may have something to do with it. If Peats is fit he plays 80 it's as simple as that.

Exactly. Brad Arthur is responsible for this ridiculous interchange rotation.

I will be interested to see the make up of the bench next week. If we go with DeGois and Seph I suggest they will be there for along time to come.

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

Well maybe if our completion rate wasn't always so shit, he wouldn't talk about it. Fix that and we win at least one more game. Probably two. So of course he's going to talk about it.

He's obsessed with it. You can tell he was taught from the Storm system. Robotic android League.

It's our biggest failing, why shouldn't he be obsessed with it? Bizarre comment

Because even when we win, it's been shit....god forbid a coach wants his side to be better in a basic area

What do you care if it's boring? It's an issue, he understands that. I would have thought that was called "doing his job". At least in part. Deadset rubbish complaint.

Reporters should instead grow some balls and ask him why he perseveres with players like Seph Paulo and the 2000's tactic of two hookers. Not f**king completions.
