Trent Robinson had more credibility because he had success in the UK and won a premiership with the Roosters.

Arthur can only dream about that type of achievement.

Only because he hasn’t coached at such a strong club. Stuart (and Gurr) won a premiership at the Roosters. But they both won spoons at Parra.

I’m certain Robinson would fare no better at Parramatta.
I admire your loyalty to the coach but he has achieved sweet f**k all besides a double choke in the 2017 semis.

Every finals match is roughly fifty-fifty. Go and flip two coins. If you flipped tails twice you’d be stupid to think there’s something wrong with the coin.

Exactly. There’s nothing wrong with our roster other than key personalities exerting negative influence. That could just as well include the coach, but our playing talent levels are fine.

Which is not to say we won’t suck again next year. We have all the same shit personalities, plus bringing in two more high profile recruits who have had their issues in the past. It’s a risk (as was this year and probably the previous competitive years), but risks are very exciting.

There is plenty wrong with the roster, just because it should be at worst competitive doesn't mean that should be acceptable. We should have a roster that is at minimum a contender.

We should be in the mix for the Top 8, but so should 15 others. We're definitely in the mix for the spoon also, with about 10 others.

You are entering the heavyweight championships of dribbling here.

Hes just next in the queue mate. The only performers who apparently arent to blame are the coaching staff. Everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon that BA and his crew didnt have the resources yet Bernie stated last week "its not as if BA was jumping up and down for an HoF". Read into that what you will. I have my thoughts on that.

A HOF is essential and the fact that everyone (including BA) didn’t think it was a priority is a big concern.

I can assure you that everybody on the coaching staff thought it was a priority. When it became obvious that it wasn't going to happen, rather than spit the dummy, they just got on with the job of trying to prepare the football team as best they could. Having a cry about it Trent Barrett style would not have changed anything and would have given the squad excuses
Don't assume BA thought he could do it all himself (Bernie may have). When there is work to be done and there is no dedicated person to do it there are 2 types of people. First leaves it as they know someone else will do it eventually, the 2nd gets in and does it because they know it needs to be done and it aint gonna do itself. Which one do you reckon BA is?

Maybe he’s been given some blunt feedback through this review that may allow him to grow as a coach and work on that very issue...

Willing to give him a chance to do it...

If you haven't already noticed Pou Pou mentions the "Sydney Roosters" every single day on this site and also on phil's site.
I'm betting this Pau Pau wears Roosters underpants when his head hits the pillow every night.

There's absolutely no doubt Pau Pau is infatuated with the Roosters club. Im betting the kent fist pumped as the Roosters held up the trophy. :trophy::trophy:
Every f**king day. Roosters obsession.

I reckon you are far more infatuated with Pou than Pou is with the Roosters.
