If it is Arthurs:

PLEASE tell me he's on a 1 year contract, with 2nd and 3rd years in the clubs favour (or something like that).

He just doesn't strike me as a head coach.... More like an angry little deadbeat.

I spoke to Arthur a couple of times at Ringrose in 2012. Seems like a nice guy. Having been at the club recently, he would know what he is in for.

I loved his responses to the idiotic Facebook questions last year. He doesn't suffer fools.

That's why he doesn't have Twitter.

If you take out, from any coach's record (barring Gibson, Bennett etc), the years in which they had their strongest team, they will typically look pretty ordinary. I don't know if you remember the state of the Panthers team where he started his coaching career...he took them to their first ever finals appearance. When he took over the Raiders they were far from the finished product (though they had made the GF the year before). It's easy to say that anyone could have coached the Raiders......sorry I just don't buy that.

Hindsight is 20/20.

I agree with this. Most people bagging Sheens probably haven't fully considered everything he has done at all the clubs he has coached. I'd be very happy with him as a Coaching Director at the eels.

God this club is shit, we promoted a dud to CEO and now a dud of a coach.

Of the coaches on the open market who would you go with RJ?

JT or Brian Smith, both on 2 year deals however if i were CEO the first thing i would be doing is calling Bellamy's or Bennett agent and offering them a huge wad of cash - proven winners.

We always go for the coaches no one wants, or proven duds, and to even consider Sheens in any capacity has given me grave doubts about our current board and CEO, any minimal due diligence would've uncovered this

Why is JT any more qualified than Arthur?

how did Parra go when he was assistant here last? and do not give me this shit that 'yeah but he wasn't the coach he was the assistant' lol if that was the case i am surprised no one has brought up Dean Pay then and going after him, after all, he was only the assistant?

When Arthurs was here we were god awful - and this guy was heavily involved in there day to day coaching, everyone looked horrible.

As for the CEO lol, i didn't see too many clubs falling overthemselves to hire this guy, not even his former club Canterbury.

do i even have to answer this question? he took over a second last Parra side and took them to the finals, he then went to Souths and with a god swful side (nothing compared to what they have now) took them to the finals. He has coached under terrific coaches and succesful coaches in the past, Arthurs was helping Kearney put out witches hats and making coffee for Bellamy in Melbourne.
