If we have signed a rumoured 4 to 6 players for next season I would give B.A. At least 2018.

Not if they resemble the Watmough and Foran signings.
Yeah good point who knows who we got but I can't see this new board sacking Arthur. Bernie was gushing over him in the Sterlo interview. Very disappointing to lose 4 in a row after showing so much fight last year.

As I stated in the game thread:

We have lost 4 in a row now. The honeymoon is over BA. Time to deliver. If this team doesn't make the 8 Arthur has failed as a coach.

He either needs a very good assistant coach to help him or he may become one himself.

His selections, bench rotations, failure of picking another hooker from the bench and constantly sticking to overrated has-beens like Frank Pritchard have come back to bite him on the arse.

We are not Melbourne, Brad. To be frank I hate their f**king system. They have destroyed the game. Don't destroy the team that I know you love.

Never a truer word spoken my brother, absolutely no more excuses for Brad.

What's four in a row got to do with it? Judge us at the end of the season, not four in a row in f**king April.

Pointing out what is wrong with our squad is whinging? So you must be a whinger because you said we need another half.
People are just 'pointing out what is wrong with our squad' are they? They are claiming the sky is falling in. Apparently we don't even have 17 first graders in our squad.

Yeah Pou you tell em!!!

We have just been unlucky, our defence has been great. Get Moses and we are a top 4 squad.

Looking at the majority of posts I'd say people are saying we lack quality (in some instances 1st graders) in key positions. We're also a little concerned that some of these weren't addressed in this year's recruitment and we're stuck with another rebuilding year for the 7th year in a row.

You think last year's f**k around didn't interfere with our recruiting? We needed to come up with a new plan mid-year, and the players required obviously weren't available for the right price.

If we're not going to get them for the right price we'll never be competitive.

In general, a player's price is determined by their ability. How much of that goes on the salary cap is a different matter. I wouldn't have made all the same decisions as BA, but for the money he's got to spend I don't think he's doing as badly as many suggest.

Deadset biggest pack of whingers ever. They don't want to cheat but they don't want to lose games either.

This is what will happen to BA if he doesn't make changes soon. It's actually what happens to most of the points that you stupidly make to try and win an argument.
