'Others' are primed to believe the worst about Brad Arthur because they want to believe he is the reason we haven't won a premiership in 38 years. Or at the very least, he is one in a long string of scapegoats that if we can just eradicate them from the club we will be a force again. Just like we were when poker machine money provided a decisive edge over the competition.Hmmm…it would seem others feel differently
But I don't believe just sacking enough people (or voting them out) will transform us. The reason is that I don't think it's ever been the people we have that are the problem. The reason for our relative lack of success is all the people we don't have that the top clubs do. Obviously the retort to this is "If you sack them, they will come". But I can't see how exceptional board members, administrators and coaches will appear out of nowhere if only enough space is created for them. It hasn't happened so far anyway. There is high demand for these great men, and if you listen to the TCT interview with Bernie Gurr, the demand will only increase as more clubs enter the competition with expansion.
This just proves he has been feeling guilty about putting his family second to his coaching career since before he came to our club. It makes sense then that he would want a good enough job to keep them in the back seat. That isn't dealing with part time footballers in pathways or the NRLW. It is Mickey Mouse.Pou and others’ only apparent piece of evidence, was from before he even joined the eels. Ouch.
