I’ve never seen a winger influence a game like he did.

His not the sole reason but he got us rolling from our red zone every damn time and he turned little half breaks into tries or complete line breaks.

People underestimate how special he was.

Again fair from the only reason we are losing often but his loss has definitely hurt us.

It hurt us doubly with Gutho out and French injured early. We clocked off against Penrith and then we got ambushed by Manly because we were cocky.

But when we needed to roll up and do the work, those three were vital to our success because they all jump into acting half and create problems off the ruck with almost no risk. Losing all of them to start the season was a much bigger loss than people recognise. We got into problems because we were going into our shell more and more as things got worse, trying to make sure we held the footy and still did enough to be in the game, and not having that point of attack that gives you creativity with low risk hurt us.

It's just one thing, but it all adds up.

Fair enough. I'm not prepared to waste this season and then next season too.
Well I’ll tell you one thing and that is while Max is here we will be unlikely to pay out a coach so you wanna hope BA can work it out

I’ll take the blame guys. I clearly should have kept not watching. I’ll stay in bed for game time for the rest of the season.


Going to make Sunday arvos a bit weird

Can you give BA a reference as he will be taking over those sides soon.
How could I give him a reference he doesn’t work for me and I don’t know how he goes about his job, pretty much like you actually. I’ll tell you this though BA will be coach for this team longer than you want him to be so you better get use to it in the short term at least otherwise you might have a coronary

He won't work it out. He's done. He is no longer getting the best out of the players. Coaches can out stay their welcome. They get stale and players get comfortable.

Super league means shit and Daly m coach of the year is subjective so it means nothing. I thought BA could have easily been named coach of the year either of the last 2

He won't mate. If he gets the spoon he will be sacked. If he had any honour he should quit.

BA weak as piss mate weak as piss, just bend over an let the refs ram us up the clacker each week and don't say a word. They bring up a blatant error by the refs and he didn't even know what they are on about. I'm sorry but he is done, he has no idea how to get us out of this. Just regurgitating the same BS each week after a loss.

He is still 10 times the coach BA is. To suggest anything else just highlights your blind ignorance.

Second week in a row and probably 3rd or so time this season we have conceded a try or penalty goal within the first 3-4 minutes. I know we are off our game whenever that happens. We NEVER come back from that.

BA should see out his tenure regardless of his KPI's. To punt him would be a major step backwards in so many ways. That's my opinion, feel free to disagree.

Well like I said you want to hope you are wrong or Max leaves soon
