And then what's the problem with BA dropping Fui....he was a liability, was a passenger in the ruck in 2014......so it's ok for Ryles to move a player (positions) but not BA (grade)......

As has been pointed out already, it's the way Arthur went about moving blokes on. Seems like he never had the stones to have difficult conversations with people but instead just stopped talking to them and froze them out. Cowardly IMO

 

[strider]

Fui, Mannah, Nrown - all cold shouldered out of the club (willing to bet there were more but not as high profile) ..... 3 guys who gave a fair bit .... pretty poor

Tim Mannah basically says that on this podcast. Is he a sook as well.

Seems to be long serving club stalwarts being carted out of the joint like a piece of rubbish was a BA thing.

All the staff were basically told not to talk to him to make it so uncomfortable he was better off going.

Now I thought Mannah played 2 years too long but a bloke like that who played 230+ games for the club never put a foot wrong off the field deserved a bit of dignity and respect at the workplace after what 11-12 years of service.

Exactly, he promised him a place for this year and then couldn't guarantee him a roster spot after that. That wasn't good enough for Gutho which is fair enough but he bolted for the cash which is his right.


Hardly the same as dropping someone and totally ignoring them like a little bitch for the rest of the year. He did the same thing with Mannah, Brown as well. I can see a pattern here.......

Speaking of Bev, I'm looking forward to watching him and Field tomorrow morning. Let's go Bev!

There is respectful way to do it. Like ryles did with a few of our legends last year.

Fui bled for the club and had as much impact as anyone he played with in that era.

That GF try is our greatest GF moment since 1986.

Then Fui was treated disgracefully out the door.

And in a way karma bit us on the backside those last 2 games in 2014 losing to bottom 4 sides when Fui was left out worked out real good for the team.

Jake Arthur didn't play in those games either ffs. That's why we lost.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Gutho was never chased out

If he had stayed, he would've been negotiating with his next club from a position of weakness, coming off the bench or whatever we had planned for him.

Or he could've knuckled down and kept the number 1 jersey and changed the coach's mind through his actions and negotiated as normal....but no, he jumped for the cash and left the club he was captain of a year early....

 

[Pazza]

position of weakness

sounds open to a CO

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I did and Fui seems like a sook..

He's got kids all over the world growing up without a dad. Seems like a selfish user.

And yet he kept Mahoney, Papali'i and Niukore in the team right up until their contracts ended. Maybe it was Mannah, Brown and Moimoi who didn't handle their shit like grownups.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I had no problem with him making that call, i had no idea he did it in such a cowardly way and then froze a club legend out like he was trash. Was it any wonder he's only come back now after your bald hero has finally been punted???

So now you hate Arthur's you'll believe anything anyone says about him?

And aren't i just a hater who hated Bea Arthur just blindly??? Those posts show thats BS.

Those posts are from before you decided he was the scapegoat. No doubt you'll be off Ryles one day as well.

BA left MA and JA here in Australia to fend for themselves while he lives it up in Leeds. Another selfish user...

How many blokes have said the same thing about him??? And not just players he arseholed as well. Plenty of stories have leaked out since he was finally punted from the club, you only have to see how he dragged Matty out of the place through pure spite says plenty about him.

He thought he had the right to stink up the club forever, arrogant deluded short sighted fool. This club has given the prick everything.

Keeping deadshits happy isn't the coach's job. Ryles will figure it out.

 

[King-Gutho94]

I don't think Ryles has an inflated ego about himself compared to the muppet we just had for 11 years.

Ryles will do things for the best interests of the club.

And if it doesn't work as well with performances at least the style and culture building in the place should be better then what it was when he arrived.

And i dont think Ryles will put his family interests before whats best for the club.

Nothing was the coaches job according to you, except smile while you gave his nuts a rub.

And now he has left you all alone and f**ked off to Leeds, in your case absence has definitely made the heart grow fonder.

The coach's job is coaching. Not pathways, not recruitment/retention, not contract negotiations, not fundraising, sourcing TPAs, player welfare, strength and conditioning, not tackling or even catching the ball. Just coaching. That means player development, tactics and preparing the team each week. The head coach does this by communicating with the players and coaching staff the club give him.

And what coaching did he actually do??? From the sounds of it not f**king much.
