Rumours and Stuff

[IFR33K]

You're the one who was crowing about 'the one constant'. Brad Arthur wasn't here twenty years ago, neither was Mark O'Neill. But you were.

The fans are staying and can’t be changed as the club won’t survive. Ba has had ample opportunities to turn the fortunes of the club around.

Yes I agree.
But we lost to Titans and Canberra with good squads. We also should of beat Sharks and Storm first up who both where missing guys.

Our performance other last two weeks has been disgusting. Our win against Titans ordinary.

Possitives in a shit season are Morreti,Grieg and Hopgood.
Best game was beating Souths.

Can't argue with any of that.

And really, Arthur has the squad he wants - he should be able to get more out of them.

That’s the whole point we should be able to with our resources, instead we have the wrong people doing the resourcing, other than Nathan Brown, recently coming on board

What resources, though?

Surely, if it was a fait accompli, it would have been done by now?

 

[hineyrulz]

We have the third best attack in the comp, so you’re wrong about that. And probably wrong about everything else too.

Yeah because no one can be as right as you are all the time, your strike rate is almost as up there as @hindy111

 

[JokerEel]

I predicted it.....So did @TheRam
We where right

Where did you predict us to finish? Sixth was it..

You also had the Roosters higher than us on power rankings and the fins.

You also had the Warriors in the bottom 4 good predictions PauPau Red..

 

[hineyrulz]

Ok so far we've identified as issues
Ruck rules, covid, fox commentators

Uncle Nick and the NRL being meanies are two others.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I’d argue we still should have been good enough to make the 8 despite those hurdles. A lot of the games we lost were not insurmountable challenges.

We might've won them with more luck. We did in previous years.

 

[hineyrulz]

We've also been unlucky this year, like the Roosters. We made the finals for four straight years, which we haven't done since 2002. Eventually your luck runs out and that might happen to us this year.

Yep, sadly you just can’t help bad luck.

f**k u

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah we're awesome.

Or are we just better than the Tigers?

 

[hindy111]

On a side note. I was pumped for the world cup. Why hasn't it been given barely any exposure? Its like nobody cares. Ashes,NRL club games and swimming is generating more interest.
It's a shame in my eyes. We've poorly advertised it. Or maybe people just don't care.

Is it the coach's job to "turn the fortunes of the club around"? I think it's well above his pay grade. The Roosters didn't win their premierships because of Robinson, they won because of Politis. Souths didn't win because of Maguire, they won because of Crowe. The Storm won their first premiership before Bellamy had anything to do with the club.

 

[hindy111]

We are a good side. We've had a merkin of a year.
But we also lost games we should of won. It's dissapointing. Would I sack BA? NO.
BUT HE WILL BE AT MANLY 2025.
I don't think anyone should ever compare Moses with Cleary ever again. Honestly that's embarrassing.

Right. Merkins go aRtHuR's HaS bEeN hErE fOr A dEcAdE, not acknowledging we haven't won for nearly 40 years. We need to stop blaming coaches and realise it's far from a level playing field.

I'm not about being right, I'm just about telling whingers when they're wrong.

Yeah but no doubt in another thread he predicted us to miss the finals, and in another we got the wooden spoon. I'm sure he's predicted us to win the comp as well.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You take the good with the bad. No point whinging about it.

Next year in the prediction thread I'll be ready 17 posts with every position only one I know won't be correct is first place

Good teams make their own luck.

Which world cup are you talking about?
