I'd also suggest its erroneous.
Definitely a euphemism

The only inevitable conclusion to be drawn is that Brian Smith didn't coach a grand final victory.This is some world class prevaricating from the forum's great contrarian.
Brian Smith lost four grand finals at there different clubs with three different playing groups.
Added to this, the circumstances were entirely different each time:
1) St George in 92 were clear outsiders;
2) St George in 93 were probably mild favourites;
3) Parra in 2001 were overwhelming favourites; and
4) Roosters in 2010 were mild outsiders.
The one common denominator in all these was Brian Smith
Really, this particular factual matrix is probably the one time that we can conclude with certainty that a coach was incapable of coaching a grand final victory.
You can argue the speculative reasons why this is the case, but the inevitable conclusion from the above is that Brian Smith couldn't coach a grand final victory.
Any attempt to argue otherwise is just another episode of "Pou's Counterfactuals"...
Ah Pou Bear, you're incorrigible.Brad Arthur has never made it past week two of the finals, proving that he can't.
Smith also won some preliminary finals (four of them) so his losses in those games don’t prove he couldn’t win them. Likewise his grand final losses don’t prove anything.
A legal eel dies and goes to Heaven. "There must be some mistake," the legal eel argues. "I'm too young to die. I'm only 55." "Fifty-five?" says Saint Peter. "No, according to our calculations, you're 82." "How'd you get that?" legal eel asks. "We added up your time sheets." says St. Peter.
Yeah definitely time to change what's working. We need our best players to play fewer minutes so we can give some minutes to Cartwright and Nrown ffs. It's only fair.Nrl 360, Hooper you f**ken pelican…..talking about whether eels can win, tries to put shit in BA, saying he needs to get the 17 correct and there is pressure on BA on his selections…..
FFS agree/disagree, the eels are in the GF…with BA decisions and this bench…
3rd time we would have won 3 in a roe this year.On NRL Tonight the foxsports lab came up with a stat.
They said that if the Eels win on Sunday, then we will have strung 3 wins in a row for the first time this year.
No team in the history of rugby league since 1908 has won the comp by only winning three in a row.
