I don’t think he’s failed at all. The club as a whole has failed, at least on the field, and Arthur needs to be part of the solution. But that isn’t just a matter of picking a different team or changing tactics. We need our best players on the field, and hopefully to sign some better ones for next year. That’s the solution.

Well we won’t know until we get our best players back, and even then, the effectiveness of recruiting for 2019 won’t be evident until then.

I expect we win atleast 6 of remaining 13. If not BA has to move on.
I dont think I am setting the bar that high either.

BA has failed with team selection.

If he felt Taka was a 2nd rower long term then why is he back at centre ? Was 2 games enough tp convince him he isnt?
If he felt Hayne was a centre why was he moved after only 2 games. One where flogged and no ball. Once to fullback then to wing. And if he felt he was a winger was he worth 500k?

What was with KE not starting the season over Scott? Ridiculous choice.

Same goes for King, Kaysa,W.Smith at hooker. In then out then Smith starting then King back. If he feels they are good enough do they get only one game to prove it? I found Smith starting against dogs odd. After that game BA decides it doesnt work and goes back to King.

Mannah and Alvaro starting together also a BA blunder.


My feeling is he is trying different thing but is unsure of his decision, confused perhaps. Pou defend all want but here is a list of a few errors he has made I feel so far this season.

Actually I will add Scott starting in the 2nd row twice.

Remaining Games:

ROUND 12 Broncos
ROUND 13 Knights
ROUND 14 Cowboys
ROUND 15 Rabbitohs
ROUND 16 Dragons
ROUND 18 Knights
ROUND 19 Bulldogs
ROUND 20 Rabbitohs
ROUND 21 Titans
ROUND 22 Dragons
ROUND 23 Storm
ROUND 24 Cowboys
ROUND 25 Roosters

I can see us maybe beating Knights twice, Titans once and Dogs, but that's about it to be honest.

Which 6 do you think we are a chance in?

With those players I mentioned back every game I expect us to be competetive and a chance.

Pou blamed heat, then possesion, then injuries. All those have played a part but soon its back to an even playing field and cool weather.

In hindsight the Kenny thing was understandable. He was being groomed for management.

I can see us winning a few we might not expect to win right now...we often do well against the Broncos out of the blue, for example. Rabbits are pretty hit and miss. Cows are as bad as us at the moment.

No doubt it's been a shocker of a year though.

Of course he’s failed. If you declare we need better players, and he’s recruited the team, how’s that not his fault?

Assembling a bits and pieces team isn’t a long term soloution. He’d rather buy a reject or an aging veteran than shell out money for top quality players. His big name signings proved to be amongst the absolute worst recruiting in nrl history. Bringing Hayne back was another wtf BA moment. Many have seen enough to suggest he has no long plans for the club.

What happened to that bloke?

I'd have thought with how Tyrell has kicked on so well he'd have been in here giving it to us all the time....

Tyrell's going so well he's in reserve grade, playing off the bench behind Kyle Turner and Tarquinn Butler

What a f**king joke this season has become. And some on here want to give Arthur another year. Cannot wait to see the back of him and his predictable block plays.

f**king amateur.

If we bone Norman what are people’s thoughts on putting Gutherson at 6 to partner Moses. Then swap French for Holmes and give him the fullback spot?

If it was possible would it be a good deal?
