Does Brad Arthur deserve the hype?

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.

He's been here a long time and we have acheieved nothing with him here.

He's a big part of the past and players that have provided us with zero success.

: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.

For the record I just want a successful organisation from top to bottom and from side to side.
I don't give a f**k about colours, shapes, looks and ages...
Give me success any day... Now this is a real Casper moment.

Hey Diablo and whal whal the f**k are you talking about? I didn't say I profess to the theory you f**kwits. I said that some coaches do. My source is a brother of a coach but that was conveniently deleted and now you call me f**king racist? Why didn't you delete a post when I stated that the Wanderers wouldn't recruit players of Serbian descent? It's ok to show that but not this because it involves colour? What I have posted on all occasions is not unsubstantiated. It's f**king true. Why is this site selective in their deletions?

f**kwits the lot of you.

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.

Completions are what we can control so that's what he's going to talk about in public. He's not going to stand up there and blame individual players and find scapegoats like most of you merkins want. That's not going to help us this year.

Too early to say if Arthur does or doesn't deserve the hype, but he'd better do something quick to get us out of this rut...

Or admit that he has made errors with the structure of his 17 players that have taken the field.

Mate, you can see why there was possible confusion regarding your post.....after all you did say "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." Now, that might have been after your post got edited, and I know you then went on to talk about coaches, but the above quote doesn't really come across as being about coaches opinions.

You are clearly the racist here. From spelling white with a capital W to excluding anybody with any non-white ancestry from being considered white. You have proved that your own self-loathing has made you obsessed with the speck in everyone else's eye.

That would just be a snide way of blaming the players - "It's my fault for picking deadshits A, B and C." Very disingenuous.

He only needs to make that admission to himself, and he'll show it through next week's team selection. Don't forget our current shape beat Manly and Souths.

Our current team minus Takairangi beat Souths. Which again indicates that our issues are still related to attitude as well.

we're back to being that team that goes ok with a lead until something goes wrong, then it takes us 20mins to shake it off and the games over or more tries have been scored

The difference between last years premiers and this years worst team is........coaches.

One obviously has his team well drilled and the other has a lot of work to do to be anywhere near the other.
