How the hell anyone can believe that some one has set an arbitrary number like 8 or 6 rounds please line up for your tin foil hats right here.

No doubt he'll be assessed but these arbitrary numbers are just conspiracy theories or click bait for media bullshit.

Really? ... i wouldnt be at all surprised if there was a plan to assess things at a certain time - and number of games is probably a reasonable way to put a time on it

Where do i buy my foil hat?

He will be gone before we open the stadium.

Surely giving a coach under pressure a third of a season to prove himself is a ffair option .... do you think 8 games is too few?
I think it's fair enough but if it's that hard to decide whether to keep him, one of the good clubs would probably just get someone better. But then I remembered we aren't one of those clubs.

The club probably has a date by which they want to make a decision for 2020, though I’d be surprised if fans got their scapegoat before season’s end. Not having his contract renewed isn’t the same as sacking him before the end of the season.

If BA's contract is not renewed, the Telecrap will launch into Eels in Crisis

I think it's obvious he's a chance of not seeing out the year, depending on our start. Plus a good chance of getting an extension if we fire early.

The big question is what do we do with our 2020 coaching position if we've won about half our games by mid-season. It's very exciting.

Nail him to a cross and move on.

Hello Cooper Cronk?

Gee that's a ballsy call. Personally I will be disappointed if that's the case.
I just can’t see us realistically winning a game before the Tigers clash. Maybe we will beat the Dogs but every other game will see us as the outsiders. It’s sad but that’s how I feel.

Be great if I’m wrong though.

Just watch the pressure immediately build if we get trounced against the Panthers on Sunday.

Here’s hoping he’s learnt a few things and his staff have something to offer.
He keeps saying that this is Moses’ team. He hasn’t learnt a thing and it’s overrated, sporadic problem children like him that have let him down.

With nukes.

The one scenario where not finishing top 6 would be acceptable is if there's a coaching transition, especially when the incoming coach is left with a mess and there's rebuilding to be done.
In that case fans should give the incoming coach a year or two to fix the mess, depending on its extent.

For mine, it would be a minor miracle to make the top 6, and whilst the current coach has had many internal problems to deal with, 6 years is long enough to build a consistent finals winning roster.
At the moment, it feels like another rebuild, but we'll still be supportive of the team no matter what. The exciting bunch of juniors, along with Sivo will give the club a good platform to build upon.

I see where you are coming from.

Well who else's team should it be other than the halfback's?
He should have bought a steady halfback like Chad Townsend in the off season. He didn’t/couldn’t because he is a terrible recruiter in vital positions. Our goal kicking will also be our Achilles heel this season and he hasn’t addressed that either. Moses is lucky to hit the side of a barn.
