I said it on here before, we should see what BA does this season as far as recruitment goes and then judge him on his first 2 months of next season. If it isn't good enough, then I would go hard on the Cleary's.

In fact I am tempted to go hard on the Cleary's at the end of this season. I just have lost most of my faith in Arthur's quality as a recruiter and coach.

He can at least tackle. He just lacks a bit of lateral movement. He would go better defending inside anyone but BJ Leilua.

But he's a right side player like Moses, meaning one would have to shift to the left anyway.

What do you mean leaking it? It was common knowledge that Choc was busted and yet BA signed him and he ended up being one of our worst signings. It was common knowledge at Manly (and he was there) that Foran was a mind f**k yet he signed him on a ridiculous contract that had to be re- hashed after warnings by the NRL.

It was common knowledge that we had to move on from Hayne, yet he signed him. Forget about my nostalgia about wanting him back to piss off Bart. It was a dumb move.
Maybe BA can blame it on just being "nostalgic" too

Arthur f**ked up big time by not planning for life after Semi

Seriously he loses the best attacking player in the world to an alternative sport on the other side of the world. So he keeps a spot on the roster open bc it was highly probable that the insecure player with a history of going walkabout, would be back before June.

If he didn’t have room for him and he wanted to return - worst coach ever.

If he didn’t fill his spot with a player of exceptional talent - worst coach ever.

You just make him an offer he can’t refuse. Piss off players like Mannah and Terepo. Use your juniors as replacements. You do everything that needs to be done. But he didn’t because he knows best.

I CBFd trolling through your posts around when Semi signed with Rugby, but I bet you a lottery ticket that you never said that we should retain him ay any cost and make him the highest paid player in NRL history in the process. Because that is the kind of cash he is on getting paid in Euros and paying bugger all tax.

Google told me that he is on €600,000 and pays 8% tax.

Thats $AU920,000 in the hand.
