Rumours and Stuff

If we get beat in the prelim final 2022 does BA make it 2024.

I don't think so.

1 famous win has given the flog Arthur an extra 2 years pay.


That 1 victory gave the board the excuse to hang onto him this year which I reckon wouldn't have happened if we bowed out in Townsville

Until I'm proven wrong it will remain the best theory.
You have theories but your not at the coalface either.

Not your fault just reality of the situation.

Your theories ain't exactly wrong but examples like BA being absolute poison to jnr development in the area is stuff you miss.

You call it bitter fans with an axe to grind but it's the truth.

An even better theory is that the decision makers did not make the best use of the resources they had at their disposal (ala when the roosters and panthers used to finish near the bottom of the ladder).
The resources available to a club aren’t fixed forever. They change over time. The Panthers aren’t the same club they were before Gould came back and arranged financing. The Roosters aren’t the same club they were before Politis stepped down as a sponsor and stepped up as chairman. The Broncos aren’t the same club that used to have three quarters of the Queensland Origin side every single year.

But the Storm are still the exact same club that won a premiership in only its second year.

We are not the same club that won four premierships in six years, but are we still the same club that won three wooden spoons in seven years, under three different coaches (one of them a premiership winner)? I think we’ve changed a lot since then, but we won’t know for sure until after this year. This is our first losing season since this mob took over.

They didn’t need an excuse, he had a contract extension clause that was triggered after 2022.

Clubs like the Storm show that junior development doesn’t need to be tied to the local area at all. Even Penrith recruits heavily from outside their local catchment. Likewise, plenty of clubs, probably all of them, recruit from the Parramatta district. Anyone blaming the coach for that obviously has an axe to grind.
