Rumours and Stuff

Don't worry mate. I see what you think is the bleeding obvious. If we fail this year, I would expect BA to be punted at the end of the season.

I also see that you've changed your focus. BA is also responsible for Wenty being shit as well. Cool. Does that mean you've at least accepted that BA can't just arsehole first graders willy nilly if he doesn't have any better options? Or is that perfectly logical explanation an 'excuse' according to you?


I never said anything about him having to replace anyone. I just believe that the coach is responsible for the overall predicament that we are currently in. He has no excuses after 5 years. He has created what we have. It is his vision everyone else is following. He hired or ok'ed the hiring of football staff, etcetera.

So if the players aren't up to it after tweaking with the roster for 5 years and there is no depth there to replace badly performing footballers, then it is of his creation. His own hand. He is the boss man. For now anyway.

No more excuses.

We are 4 games into a season. If we don't perform this year and have a bad season then he will most likely be punted.

That's the reality. Everything else, including the 'no excuses' talk is just hot air.

I think you need to go and have an angry tug and get it out of your system...

Ah that is better! Cheers for the great advise. Now on second thoughts, BA is alright. I'm sure this is just a temporary set back and we'll be right from here on in.

Cheers Gaz. I owe you one...if you know what I mean. Wink wink...

Again you fail to see the bleeding obvious. Just like Pou. If BA has no obvious quality player/s to pick from in the lower grades that's his fault too. He has been here for 5 years. What is going on with our lower grades? They are crap too. The buck stops with him. No excuses!

I've said it before, excuses are for losers. We seem to have a million of them.


The juniors right through to grass roots level are a mess.

How is the quality going to improve when you have 2 or 3 clubs stockpiling the talent/numbers.

Parramatta can claim and boast all they like about their junior competition, but the reality is, it’s a farce.

Anyone who refers to them as the Swannies must have a massive, in your case, 1 inch fat for them.

No ram you cant follow 2 sports. Look I will send you the guidelines of being an Nrl fan.
Btw I have some swans memorabilia if you want it. Id have too find it first but a few signed and framed photos.

I tell you what BA did.....Never gave enough respect too a quality prop. Instead signed 6 or 7 that are all ok but none that are great. I almost feel like he fell for Bennets bullshit you dont pay a prop more then 250k. On the book that is. The warriors went put and signed 4 big men, tigers 2. I dont want to go through every team but was quite a few around.

Also hooker was an issue and not adressed. Also a big fail for me.

Yes we can turn it around and yes we can make the 8. But this was meant to be our window, I do not see this team winning the comp or even a chance.

No leader
No quality props
No quality hooker
No quality goal kicker

Fix the above and we can win it.

It is worth the question why BA hasnt any juniors or guys pushing to make their Nrl debut. I think we had Bevan in 2016, none in 2017 and seems like nothing is ready for this year. Is this BA fault? If not his then whoever is doing the recruiting.
We should have 2 every year minimum debut. If someone wants to put a list up of debutants from 2016,17 and this year id say we are bottom 2 or 3.

Plainly spot on Hindy. And just to add to the list, now that Semi is gone, we need a great winger too. I have heard that we are in the market for Mansour. I'm not to sure about him. This season he hasn't really impressed me. I hope we don't get him at the wrong end of his career.

When Buddy hooks a goal from 60mtrs I get excited.
And Ben Simmons for anyone who hasn't watched is a great athlete.
NRL is just one of many great sports.
