I've been think it may have been Murchie?
Murchie got an early release and wasn't worth anything to us

Fui has a book???
Yeah probably Manu Mau.Murchie got an early release and wasn't worth anything to us
Mannah’s a dope and doesn’t know what’s required. He has an axe to grind, which is why Graham got him on the show.If you need an idea what’s needed at the club, the podcast that James Graham and Tim Mannah put out ii worth listening to. Seems BA fell out with Matt Cameron who was integral to our junior pathways at the time.
Importantly he stated that juniors under DeGois, Shepard, Hodgson and Rankin have the place on the right track. He suggested that past that level is where it needs improving as the club lost the pathways structure implemented by Cameron and the desire for players to want to stay , need more pathways in the top30. The need to get Cameron back to the club was inferred across the debate.
The issue seems that McElduff and Sarentinos would need to admit their assertion that we have the Ponnisi of the West was off the mark, not something they seem keen to acknowledge.
Tim definitely has a passion for the club and the need to see success .
If we didn't have cap issues in 2016, wouIdnt that mean we wouId have made the finals 6 times from 7 years (we wouId have made it in 2016,)......and that's after not making the finals in the previous 5 years before he was...Here is a question if we didn't have cap issues (cheated )and BA was talked up as the savior would he have lasted as long with the same results?
I would say he would have been fired after 18
and yet still not NRL Standard in my opinionShe should be kept out of the NRL, Belinda Sharpe is a much better ref.

Are you saying that's a poor record?
Gee the hate for BA is crazy. Fair enough he didn't take us to the holy grail, fair enough it was time for change, but gee his era was more successful then some are willing to give credit for! The years before him was horrible.
If he went to England he must’ve been goodWas thinking about this !
No it was around the time of Spags I thought ? The player went to England.
She should be kept out of the NRL, Belinda Sharpe is a much better ref.
When he took over we’d just won consecutive spoons. Hardly a strong, stable club.What annoys me is that he made out that he owes us everything for the opportunity but has since bagged the club all be it in a private setting to a well known podcaster.
He easily has the most mediocre results of any coach in a decade long period in world sport and left the club in a worse state than when he arrived.
Moimoi was rissoled by Arthur, so of course he’s off him.Fui Fui's book wasn't kind on BA.
Fui was more complementary on Ricky then BA which is saying something considering 2013 was a shithole of a season.
They should have to sit in a fortified concrete room dug into a hillsideNot too sure if it's the same setup at the bigger venues, but at our nrlw game on the weekend the bunker was just a little van in the carpark that she was making the calls from
He might’ve meant that’s what he thinks the team will look like at (hypothetical) full strength at the end of the year, rather than round one with injuries.Wilson won’t be a backup he is class. Simonsen won’t start the season he is coming back from an ACL.
Rarrly do you have everyone fit and available anyway or so it seems.
Good to know you didn’t rail her in the little bunker vanCorrect I saw her walking in and out of the venue.
She was limping but I swear it was nothing to do with me
Sure he’s “poisoned the well”. Because some of his players loved him and weren’t happy he was rissoled. The majority of them are happy to stay, and whoever leaves frees up cap space. It’ll be a seamless transition.He poisoned the well on his way out, after the club setting him and his family up for life.
Some of the stuff that is coming out about him now says to me he’s anything but a great bloke. Plus the media think he’s aces, that says to me he’s not.
He loves the club and bleeds blue and gold, more like he loved what the club could do for him and his family. Leeds is not far away enough from the club as far as I’m concerned.
Same Fuifui, the bald fraud could hold a grudge, how dare he not give those players the decent send off they deserved, Mannah was always underrated, I thought he was very good, and no one played the ball quicker, not like these lazy bumsI changed my tune on Timmy after listening to it.
As much as he probably played 2 years too long he had a nice guy but losing mentality about him which i felt rubbed off on the squad during those lean years between 2011-2018.
He loves the club and the way he was treated at the finish was piss poor and downright disgraceful.
Credit to him for sticking around the club post his playing days and not sulking about it in public either.
He could have walked away and not taken a job within the club and it would have been fair enough too.
Yeah cheers. I have no doubt some people who were sacked don’t like the people they blame for the sacking. My advice to you is don’t take their words as gospel just because they’re telling you what you want to hear.Over to you Gronk and Pou…
Here’s a question, what if we continued getting away with cheating and had a squad as strong as clubs like the Storm and Roosters? How many premierships might we have won?Here is a question if we didn't have cap issues (cheated )and BA was talked up as the savior would he have lasted as long with the same results?

He obviously knew Trent wasn’t ever going to take his job, Brad was always about Brad and his boys …….now realise if u didn’t crawl up his ass he could be ruthless!!!Not going to say it was or wasn't BA. But BA picked up the phone pretty quickly to Barrett when he got the sack at the doggies.
