Im thinking he’s probably just too dumb to know how to argue his point.

Pou you finally have an admirer!

You have a lot to learn about the workings and politics of rugby league.

unfortunately, we all know that you are not open to learning anything, so it’s a moot point.

You have a lot to learn about the workings and politics of NRL clubs. They are run by accountants and sundry bean counters these days, and are far removed from the petty 'workings and politics' of the junior clubs you're familiar with.

No he thinks I'm a f**kwit. He just thinks The Predictor is a f**kwit too.

Does O'Brien have sole recruitment power at the Knights or would there have been others who owed BA a favour too?

Newcastle is stuck in the 90s so maybe their coach still makes every decision at the club, just like when Brian Smith did it here?

Nah, I’m the opposite.
I like to think everyone’s awesome.

Except El Diablo and Ifreek. Those guys were f**kwits.

Yeah i am sure clubs are stoked when player managers weasel in steak knives to clubs to get crucial players to sign or re-sign at the club.

You would be a naive idiot to think it doesn't happen.

I’m sure it does, but in this case O’Brien isn’t the player manager. He’s an NRL head coach with a CEO and board to answer to.

No difference to what's happened at Newcastle. O'Brien owed his mate Brad and got a deal done for his son to be looked after.

I have no doubt he gave a personal recommendation to his club’s list management committee, ‘I know him personally, he’s a great kid, blah blah blah’ but clubs do their due diligence when signing and retaining players, and Arthur’s performance in reserve grade would’ve been the main driver in signing him. For a teenager his NSW Cup performances have been excellent, especially at such a difficult position. It’s not just about speed from dummy half (which is what fans notice) or even mostly about that, which is why there’s so few running dummy halves these days. The ones who do it well, like Grant, have the rest of their game squared away first. Multiple premiership winner Mitch Kenny barely has a running game. The most important traits for a hooker are decision making and work rate.

Good luck to them but eventually O'Brien will lead them off a cliff its what the Bush Coaches do once they out stay there welcome in the NRL.

He’s doing pretty well at a club that previously won three straight wooden spoons. They haven’t been a powerhouse since Tinkler went broke.
