He just admitted he got lucky and had nothing to do with the win!

Well it’s only one game ffs! How could you possibly know how much credit or blame the coach deserves? You need to look at their record over dozens or hundreds of games.

Arthur agreed in the presser that we were lucky. Any game decided by less than six points is a coin toss.

we had enough bad luck in the first 3 rounds that it eventually had to even out

 

[Gronk]

I listened to the first bit about Justin Horo and he talks about his time playing reggies with Jimmy Maloney, Gold Logie Morts etc. Interesting

Sounds like a bit of late spin to save his reputation... what a dumb merkin.

Quotes below are from matto 2 days after the GF.

He had the shits and didnt want to pay fine.

“I just feel that $4000 is pretty hefty considering I have already paid close to $4000 in fines this year for things that are absurd,” Matterson said, per AAP.


“At the end of the day I have personal things I need to worry about outside of rugby league. I just didn’t think it was warranted.

“If you do something wrong at work. They don’t take money off you.

“It’s always hard. I love playing. It’s something I spoke to the club about before I made the decision.

“Obviously it’s a hard one, but I have personal reasons I need to take into consideration.”

 

[the phantom menace]

Yep, the decision appears to have had nothing about thinking the trials were part of it or not.

I guess he has to try and have some excuses ready, if we miss the finals (or the top 4) by 2, 4 or 6 points on the ladder...

No-one ever wanted him gone - just not a good look when he's trying to lie, instead of owning up to making a selfish decision to keep $4K in his pocket which may have cost us up to 6 competition points.

 

[eels_fan]

Maybe he thought he could keep money in his pocket and just miss some trials and all would be sweet?

[Sphagnum]

First I've heard of this

Wow so the commentators and media didn’t let the truth get in the way of their bullshit story?

didn’t see that coming

 

[Suitman]

Wtf, a lot wanted him gone

Yes, they did. I laughed at that comment as well but I just can't be bothered replying to him any more.

 

[the phantom menace]

(But can still be bothered to make regular passive agressive comments about him

Do you have stats on that?

Yep, they're in the Play Pen thread... for when these merkins can't help themselves but starting it up.
