I suspect Griffin rang BA last week, said 'Watch this, stick $10k on the Dragons, we'll split the winnings.'

BA then called Griffin this week and said 'Watch this, stick $10k on the Eels, we'll split the winnings.'

Player betting scandal? More like coaching betting scandal #amirite? 'sif the Dragons could ever legitimately put 42 on another side...

/sarcasm - the above is ALL sarcasm.

JA not quite in meltdown but the tides have begun to get into cynical disavow of the clubs direction and management.

I genuinely believe Saints fans are disillusioned to the point of walking away. Which is very sad.

When JA doesn't descend into various mud slingings & vitriolic political debate, you know something is up.

Pretty much. We stand to lose our supporter base through disgust and disinterest.

Judging by the crowds and the mighty dragon army i assumed that had already happened

You're probably right in that its been coming for a while (2013) but its reaching a point where I'm not sure if it will recover...

Before kick off my mate (who's a Queens fan) and I thought that the $2.20 ish that Sportsbet were offering for them was reasonable given our history at WIN and round 1. We were mistaken

I watched the replay (I know, I know - masochism at its best) and the quality of BA as a coach was on display. Where the Panthers went high and didn't test our edges (thinking they'd go through us) we simply pushed ahead and then targeted Cartwright in defence. We had a game plan.

Whereas BA saw that, and your guys tackled legs and stopped movement, thereby cutting our legs out. We had no movement forward. BA then got your more damaging second row to run in, condense our forwards defence before Norman and Gutherson spread and ran against a thinner backline defence. It exposed how slow we were out wide particularly with Widdop and Aitken. Jennings destroyed us (and rightly so) and we simply had no answer.

BA is worth his weight in gold. I genuinely hope he wins something with Parra so he can get his name etched into history. He deserves it.

Yeah he's underrated in a lot of ways. I mean, you're hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't think he did a great job during the salary cap stuff, but plenty seem to think he's a poor tactician, or that he's uninventive. Whereas he really just emphasises getting on top of the game and earning the right to attack...so people see these dour games where we struggle to get the upper hand (and maybe don't) and think he's not an attacking coach...but they ignore the games like Sundays where, honestly, if Jennings catches a pass with the line open and Guthbus kicks a couple more goals and we hit 50. He's absolutely fine for the side to play attacking footy, he just wants them to make sure they aren't going to lose the game by giving up momentum before they start taking risks.

The set play for Semi's 4th, on the right instead of his natural left, was magic.
