Hayne and Norman where given the flick and the side bounced back the following season.

Good point We did the same Offloading our shit to you Blake continual whinging merkin Hates discipline Gillard Well --- ENOUGH SAID

I'm a big fan of the Fish also. Tamou has also been playing great.

Yep our whole middle rotation has been playing great all year, it’s a big reason we are doing so well, similar to you guys really.

I think most our pick ups from you guys have been great. MJ is playing excellent and wouldn't be on a whole lot these days. I hear he is a great trainer and person to be around club. Unsure about another 2yrs but it wouldn't cost much.
RCG has been exceptional. Unsure about 5yrs but time will tell.I hate more then 4yr deals.
Blake is hot and cold and is a bit fo a take or leave it signing tbh.Unsure this guys potential now. 3 yrs ago I felt he become top 3 centre in game.
SIVO umm well you guys really screwed that one up.

But that's how clubs roll. You win some and lose some. Kikau and Korisau go down as two amazing signing and could argue best in their positions. Atleast top 3.

Yeo has been amazing. He could be in NSW side.

He’s on the radar apparently, he is probably my favourite player along with Fish.

That 1st paragraph borders on 'utter bullshit'. Hindy your welcome here, but please leave your trolling at the front door. Ya can pick it up on your way out.

I can actually see where he’s coming from. He does kinda give that vibe, I wouldn’t call him a snake. My wife calls him a “ Sleeze Bag”! Apparently he use to give the girls at Panthers leagues club a hard time..

BA seems like the kinda bloke I’d have a few beers with.

Still, I’d rather Ivan as a coach.

So I don’t think Hindy is trolling.

I might be one eyed, but I honestly think Yeo has out played Jake T and Finucan (no clue how to spell it) This season. 13 is definitely his spot.

Brad Arthur has yet to coach a team of inexperienced players. When, or if he does, get back to me.

The same could be said about Wayne Bennett or Trent Robinson.

It’s more about the team culture the coach is able to create. BA seems very good at that, the players wanna play for him, I remember when king Gutho was holding off re-signing until he was sure that BA was going to stay. That’s a pretty good sign your doing something right.

Ive seen similar remarks about Ivan over the years. No idea whether there's any truth to them. But him making that remark is no different than others made about rumours involving current and former players either. Hardly trolling.

I consider those two in the same class. I do agree with you, with regards to the team culture. I say get them to coach a side with little experience, and then judge them.

I heard rumours about that too.

A lot like Mary I reckon, an outstanding motivator above all else. Mary was in exactly the same position two years ago with the Dragons, but motivation only gets you so far, and Arthur has run last but not first.

I don't think BA will out smart Ivan tactics wise. But I reckon he recruits guys based on attitude and personality traits ore then Ivan. Most of BA signings have been good.

Very consistent and rarely injured. Great attitude.

I reckon Jake T is overated.

BA is far from the best coach but also done good enough to persist with. It isn't like there are great coaches waiting.
Look at Seibold and N.Brown. Both talked up. Same as that Penrith coach that went to Titans and flopped.
How will Barrett go at the Dogs? I would of signed Toovey in their position.

Gareth Brennan is his name.

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

Interesting comments about Ivan compared to BA. It appears to me be that BA has a bit of telflon about him.

I personally think BA has a bit of 'old boys' club, about him.

Fascinating.

Never met either in a social setting, so I have no idea whether the vibes of others, (or myself) are correct.

I consider myself as having a pretty good 'sleeze' meter.....Whether I missed one here or not, who knows.

Talked up by their mates in the media. Dean Ritchie and Rothfield consider Brown a mate and went easy on him at times. I think the Seibold love was done because some at NewsCorp wanted Bennett out of Brisbane.
We all know Gould has a hard on for Barrett. I am not surprised he is partly involved with him going to the Bulldogs. He had his fingers all over Brennan going to the Titans too. He conned those poor bastards over more than once.
I don't like coaches overhyped before they even start their job.

I would've signed Griffin.
