If you looked at our this team this year on paper and they played the same as 2013 we would be wooden spoon contenders 2014, not potentially finishing on 30 pts. We haven't made that much of an improvement in our roster this year, if anything it has been a few steps backwards with the injuries we have had. The one thing that Arthur has done is made our underperforming players of last year (I'm not going to name names) perform at the level they are capable of and players that weren't as good or are young and inexperienced over-perform. We always had a team that could compete they just didn't believe in themselves or the game-plan and if you can't appreciate the difference Brad Arthur has made to the joint then you wont appreciate anything. The players are the ones that can hang their heads in shame and some of them will be on their last legs with their inconsistency... and a few of them can pack their bags if they dish that shit up again against the Raiders.
Arthur doesn't make players throw passes that look like they are thrown by someone having an epileptic fit, or beg them to drop balls without a single hand on them. Basic, fundamental errors by a few players like that cost the team the game against the Knights at a time when you could have put them to bed. You can take a player to water but you can't force some of them to drink. The club will not be playing the coach merry-go-round anytime soon my friends.
