"Last year when we had team lunches only half the side would be there,” prop Tepai Moeroa said.

How the hell was this allowed to happen?
I dont believe for one second that last years coaching staff are responsible for the positive changes happening this season.
Maybe The Review has allowed The New Board and Bernie to finally flex their muscles and provide direction.
I refer back to Bernies comments post the initial full club training day. "BA is onboard with this" he said. In BAs defence he did point out that it wasnt his idea in todays interview.
A great initiative. Maybe the place is finally being managed.
And maybe Arthur isn't the type of coach that should be responsible for strategic direction. I'd say very few of them are. This decision is a head of football task.

Ever thought with more staff on board this year it’s easier to organise days like today?? And Additionally the extra resources may allow the club the focus on more areas then previously possible!!

I mean considering during last year’s off season BA had one assistant coach, no Footy Manager, less staff in the training department, no one doing Potter’s role, no junior manager (like Grima is doing) etc etc etc , and you expect him to organise a whole of club training day with 200 plus players, along with training the NRL side and all the other responsibilities with it ?

Do you really think BA had the capacity to do everything?

No Im positive he couldnt do it all and thats the issue. Like Bernie said "its not like BA was jumping up and down for a HoF Manager". Too much trust was placed in the hands of a bloke who couldnt measure up. Who's fault that was we arent sure. Thankfully it appears BAs role has been reduced which is good for the entire club. Whether he now shines remains to be seen. He has been given his chance. I wonder if hes still getting paid the same with all the responsibilities taken from him?
