In Indian culture, it's the equivalent of "What, merkin?" or that two handed thing Italians do.
Could it be that rival clubs are planting stories against us?
Defending him doesn't mean I rated him highly, just that he deserved the benefit of the doubt. It was hard to win at our club back then. Ricky Stuart proved it when he was here then left and took Canberra to a grand final.
I don't think rival clubs would bother. It doesn't affect the club, only the idiot fans. It's the media fabricating stories because they have the most to gain from angry dopes frothing at the mouth.
And again, it depends on the club, not the coach. The best coaches just happen to only want to be at clubs that can win. Cleary and Maguire are premiership winners. How good were they at Wests?
How long were they at Wests?
So those merkins are trying to punch on while working? ... their employer should have some concerns
lol do you reckon they just need to find the right coach?
If coaches are a non factor then why did strong club Souths get rid of McGuire 3 seasons after he won them a title? He missed the finals 2/3 times following their premiership season and they became perennial finalists again after he was removed.
Well he wasn't even offered an assistant's position, the Roosters snapped him up quick smart. Bea has a great eye for coaching talent.
Have they won a comp since he left? Everyone likes a scapegoat, and sacking coaches is easier than sacking players or executives sacking themselves.
The Roosters are one of the few clubs who can afford to pay big salaries to assistants.
So you think Michael McGuire was harshly treated by Souths and should have been kept on? Or maybe they made the right decision as evidenced by them making the finals and the grand final again after he left. A lot of pundits believe they would have won the grand final if Latrell was there so to say they haven’t had any improvement/success after McGuire left is demonstrably wrong. Strong clubs like Souths and the Roosters don’t tolerate just being “ok”. I guarantee they would not accept 2 finals victories in 7 seasons from their first grade coaches.
The point is that even Michael Maguire can win premierships at clubs like that so they can afford to sack whomever they want. Is Maguire a better coach than Bennett because he won a premiership at Souths? Premierships are a useless metric, just like finals wins, because there's a lot of luck involved.
It's all about sample sizes. Any given handful of games means nothing. That's why I'm tracking Arthur's career win rate. It's a much more reliable sample, and becoming more meaningful every game. Do you think he will reach 55%
