I know how to take a great arse hole photocopy at the office Xmas party. Named Captain Clown Puller and the drunken office girls love me on the night. They don't know my name for the rest of the year though.
I bet if you bet what you say then you would lose.
What would you consider a pass mark for this season? For me personally if we are healthy at the end of the season and don’t at least make the grand final then I will say this season is a failure. Of course there could always be the scenario where we finish fourth and play the invincible Panthers in the first round and then lose to a a red hot Rabbitohs team in week 2 with more premiership and grand final experience than us and then say we got “unlucky”. I would say we didn’t take our opportunities. I would also question why we seem to have the worst luck of any team with the longest grand final drought. At what point does our propensity to be unlucky get replaced with personal responsibility?
Mowing 24/7 huh?
By his attitude on here. A successful man just wouldn't post like that, whether serious or trolling.
Yep. There wouldn't be a single person in our club who thinks Jake Arthur will ever be in the same class as Moses. The question is whether he would ever be as good as a premiership winner like Chad Townsend, and is that good enough for your number 7 jersey at the right price. It's a team game.
Well my point is that you can't judge any team on a single season. I would be disappointed if the team capitulated in a finals match, like we did in 2019, but is that on the coach? Robinson's and Hasler's teams both got smashed in last year's finals. Does that mean they can't coach? We judge these coaches over their entire careers but we need to consider the resources they have available. Stuart and Maguire won premierships at strong clubs and haven't looked as good since leaving them. Green won a premiership at the Cowboys, made another grand final, and then they were shit for another two and a half years before he got the arse. Which period best reflects his ability? The early years or the later ones? Which best reflect Arthur's ability? 2014-2018 or the more recent years?
Now you're starting to get to the crux of the issue. Is our premiership drought the fault of Brad Arthur or Mark O'Neill? Is it someone else's fault? Is it the fault of multiple people? Why are we unable to improve by sacking merkins?
You should've sold more hand wired amps by now. You're a disappointment.
He's adopted the business model of the merkins who wash your windscreen at traffic lights without asking. Just comes in, mows your lawn down to the dirt and then demands payment.
Will definitely affect how much we can spend on middle forwards. It's why we've locked up some cheap nuffies for a few years. Guys like Rodwell will regularly get 20 minutes off the bench starting 2023.
