He did , he should not have signed him and history proves he f**ked up.

BA has plenty of records now.

Worst 2 signings in our history. and 0-5 which hasn't occurred since Beverly Hills 90210 debuted on TV.

He didnt f**k up at all, Foran was great in the games he played, we were top 4 while Foran was in the side.

He did what greats Like Hasler and Fulton wanted to do (sign Foran).

Then he got rid of him without any real affect to our cap/squad!!

No impact? Are you serious? He was our saviour at 7. We only got lucky with Moses because Cleary boned him.

Foran was solid at best in those 9 games, hardly worth the crazy money BA paid. Pardon the crazy pun but it was intentional.

They made out like Foran was Hayne in 2014. He wasn't. It is now confirmed history that he was a crap signing yet some on here want to make excuses. It is common knowledge and accepted fact hat he is a degenerate gambler with questionable mates, yet some on here are still in denial.

It is now starting to unravel that BA has done his dash with us. He has made many mistakes and has not learnt from them and only has himself to blame. I couldn't give a f**k if I'm the first to say it. Said it with Ricky, Sandow and a heaps of plodders. Also makes me sick when people say we owe him. FFS he is getting paid. He is not doing it for free and if he is boned he gets paid out and becomes only the second coach we have sacked. That's right. Just the second.

Opinion does not equal fact, as much as you wish it did.

Watmough played well for us too. His form before getting surgery was top notch. If he was injured it didn't affect his performances. Only cost us on the cap for that year as well, with Manly paying some freight.

Sandow was our worst ever signing.

Warriors had a 'shit' coach in Kearney. They didn't sack him.
Now they are winning games.

Dragons had a 'shit' coach in McGregor. They didn't sack him.
Now they are winning games.

Knights won 3 wooden spoons with Nathan Brown.
They didn't sack him.
Now they are winning some games.

Maybe we shouldn't go off half-cocked and sack the coach just yet. Maybe it's not his fault. I mean, has Paul Green suddenly become a shit coach now that the Cowboys are having some trouble?

Didn't the warriors lose their last eight or so last year? Now they're 5-0. Same coach but. Weird.

Newcastle went a whole season only winning two games. Now they are 3-2 and in the top 8.
Coaches have bad years sometimes...but they can quite often get their team back to a good place again.

BA took over a 2x wooden spoon side.
Within one year he had us competing for the top 8.
Within 4 years he had us in the top 4.
We have had a shitty start to this season, no doubt. It f**ken sucks. We probably won't play Finals football because of it.
I still haven't given up hope though.

I want to see if BA can turn this around. That will be a true measure of his coaching ability. If he can't do it this year, then hopefully he can do it for next season.

I haven't given up. I'm not happy about where we are and I don't know if we've got the squad to turn it around but the effort displayed today was encouraging. It at least gives an indication BA hasn't lost them. We'll win a few, I just hope it's starts soon.

Also, on the flip side, the Bulldogs sacked their coach last year. Made some big name signings.
Have still only won one game, and are not looking very good at all.

So sacking the coach doesn't always work.

The Bulldogs need a proper half. Foran an't that.
