Does Brad Arthur deserve the hype?

[hineyrulz]

You can't sack a bloke after one bad game. Can you sack him after two poor weeks in a row? We'll know next week.

The team is poorly balanced with two Hookers and Sef, at least one of them has to go as far as i'm concerned. We our giving up way to much grunt with our bench as it stands at the moment with Junior paulo out.

 

[Avenger]

Well that's not an issue for Arthur, is it? He doesn't write the questions.

He always uses completions as an excuse, no matter what the question. It's more about mentality and our lack of toughness and his obvious lack of being able to communicate that to our players. He seems to at this stage to not being able to consistently motivate them.

He always uses completions as an excuse. It's more about mentality and our lack of toughness.

When you complete less than 75% of your sets, you have to defend more...you get more tired, heads drop, you get behind in the game, you play catch up, you make more errors. Particularly a confidence side like Parra. I would agree with Arthur, it's basically the major issue at the moment. Fix that, we have more possession, more opportunity, and we start better, leading to a better position in the game and therefore better attitude. But it bores you, so it mustn't matter, right? Seriously dude....it's a fking fundamental. If he wasn't furious about it, he wouldn't be worth shit as a coach.

I don't think De Gois has played poorly. I think its the overall make up of the team rather than De Gois. Bit hard to blame a bloke who comes on when the game is virtually over.

But what has he offered that Peats can't? Good form or bad form he hasn't offered shit!

My thoughts too. We have De Gois and Paulo offering sweet fucccck all off the bench. Hopefully BA makes a few changes next week. Has Paulo ever produced the goods in first grade?

Richie and Pauli should be considered next week.

Sorry dude this game has been around since 1908 and this obsession with completion rates is a Storm phenomena by the same mob that have destroyed this game with their wrestle, chicken wings, grapples, rorting etc. No merkin knew what completions were 10 years ago.

How about just don't drop the f**king ball!!!

Here is an easy way to improve completions:

Get rid of 'middle half'. Then Watmough, Paulo and Peats pass less resulting in less errors. Have another middle forward that runs HARD and straight. Completion rates should improve. This is Arthur's fault.

:lol: Wow....I remember coaches drilling completions into us at junior level in the late nineties, so I'll absolutely guarantee that sentence is utterly incorrect. But regardless, completion rate and attitude go hand in hand, surely you know that? You're picking on something for the sake of it.

 

[Delboy]

How about Sef for f**k sake, pass to a players hands. Better still,pass to someone in Wenty

Morgan & Burreto were very solid today, the other side of the field was poor.

Teredo went Ok, it's the Watmough and Mannah leaders that are offering very
Little

Plenty of people knew about error rates 100 years ago.

Certainly won't hurt getting Paulo out of the side entirely. I don't necessarily think the middle half thing is anything more than the fevered rantings of some forumites, though. I think Paulo is used as a ball player regardless of whether he plays middle, left, right, up or down, and he probably should just...not be.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Terepo seems to be timing and positioning his runs much better. He has always run like a maniac, but he has recently been taking passes on the advantage line and actually running at gaps.

What about Guacamole and Nachos, they were ok.

 

[Bazal]

I don't get the Mannah hate. It's constant from some corners, and makes no sense to me. Perhaps he isn't the captain we need, but he is a very good, solid, tough, and consistent front rower with a huge motor.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

Looking forward to Enchalades coming back from injury.
At the moment Nonchalates is f**ked, a useless middle forward.

 

[hineyrulz]

Honestly if Sef Paulo runs out next week i will have to wonder if BA is all there upstairs, blind Freddie can see what a useless waste of space he is. That pass he threw when we're on the attack up 16-12 early in the first half sums this bloke up to a tee.

He's a good honest and reliable first grader, but he is a terrible leader of men. He's far too nice, could you ever imagine him giving a team mate a well deserved rocket???

Seriously, for starters, Mannah must be stripped of the captaincy.
Then we use him off the bench to keep the tempo up in attack and defence.
If he can't do that, get rid of him.

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.
