Why is it that under BA we have been smashed and embarrassed so many times?

Why is it that we always have a negative differential at seasons end?

Why are we still on our way to that again with -50?

When was the last time we put a team away and smashed them from start to finish?


If BA doesn't make the 8 this year he has failed.

BA needs to sack his assistant coaches.

Oh FFS mate. I get that you're a fiery man sometimes and I appreciate that, but really?

2013 (RS Coach); F/A -414
2012 (RS); -243
2011 (SK); -153
2010 (DA/SK); -78

BA took over in 2014. We had won two straight spoons. Our salary cap was f**ked. Our roster was the worst in recent memory. He took Sticky's roster, with the addition of Peats and Norman, to 10th. 2015 he started the cleanout. We got rid of 15 players and Ben Smith retired. He signed Foran, a huge coup at the time and exactly what we needed.

Do I need to go into what happened in 2016? Two high quality spine players, gone. Re-build smashed. And he still won enough games to take us to 8th theoretically.

You blokes need to understand that this club has come from probably the worst position it's ever been in. You don't fix that overnight. You have to overhaul the entire set up...and we stuffed it up doubly by cheating the cap and almost resetting the work BA had done.

Plenty of coaches have failed at Parramatta, don't get me wrong. But BA is well and truly doing things the right way and if we get settled off the field, we will see that on it.

No worries, its just so hard to keep track of whose turn it is, is there a roster or something?
Let me start.

BA needs new assistant coaches.

Davis to never play NRL again.

Mannah to be shipped off to the UK Hillsong church

Taka to never play centre again

Gutherson to play fullback. Bevan French to wing.

I'd also consider doing a swap for a contracted prop at another club and offer them Kenny Edwards.

Never said to sack him. He needs help that's all.

Well said!!

Always believed this year is base year the BA, he finally has cap in order and junior systems working. It's what we do next year compared to this year that is important.
