Does Brad Arthur deserve the hype?

Bet most would rate Clearly, and it has taken him three years to turn the panthers around. Actually in his first season he took Penrith to a worse position then the year before.

This is Arthur's first season, don't forget he was appointed fairly late in the year for 2014 and has had bugger all opportunity to put together a squad he wants.

Your team has punched WAY above its weight this season. Brad Arthur has done a tremendous job with your roster.

No it doesn't. Offloading is something you do when you can. We couldn't until late in the game, no matter how much we tried.

How much did they try? How can you say they were trying. It didnt look like they have tried offloading in tackles all year. Do you have factual evidence or talking out of your arse trying to humour yourself as your bored in some hotel on the other side of the continent trying to kill time?

Why have we been beaten in almost every game by oppostion for offloads.. Is it due to lack of trying as you suggest? Or is it cause they are coached not to?

I think he's being realistic.

Our problem (as fans) is that we expected to win these past two weeks. Newcastle and Canberra both have solid squads. Why should we expect to beat them away from Sydney?

Why would he? This year has been a vast improvement, the real test comes next year when he needs to improve yet again. Full pre season working on defence should achieve that though.

dont forget catching and passing i reckon an under 7s side could throw a ball better than the eels at times this year

Come on Pou, the squads that we played had 1 origin player (Papali). And a bunch of injuries. And more importantly they were in the bottom 4.
