The Brad Arthur experiment. 8 years on….

[ayatollah_murdoch]

Cameron Ciraldo, Jason Ryles, Brad Fittler and Paul Green have all been informally approached. Have that on good authority. The board are working via a third party in case there is a leak, so they can distance themselves, but moves are being made. If they can't get a firm commitment at a reasonable rate, they'll publically endorse BA for next year but won't renew his contract

Jason Ryles? Is he any good?

I hear all amazing stories of Ciraldo but I'd rather go with a tried and tested coach like Green.

Ciraldo would be the best option of those imo.

Why? what’s he done, other than work under Ivan, hasn’t proven anything.

This bald man is making us other baldies look bad. And we don't need the extra help.

One baldy when his team is on the worse end of a 10-3 penalty count blames the referee for it and their loss (neglects to mention the <70% completion rate).
The next day another baldy whose team was on the worse end of a 12-4 penalty count labelled it difficult by discussed discipline as the issue.

Needless to say the latter's team is in a much better position than the former's team.

Derp which team won out of the 2...

you can't beat bald

Well the penalty count whinge certainly worked, only 1 penalty and no restarts conceded last night

I mean we wouldn't have won with 10 penalties last night, but still

Refs had an off night but they still let Latts and Walker grub it up, as usual. It’ll go back to being 2014 again next week.

Referring was not too bad, other than the 2 forward passes for Johnson try

I think the Eels should take this as a sign and extend BA for a further 10 years.

This guy has gotta go. Surely there's another bald coach out there for the eels to sign?

I seriously think they can win the comp in the next 2 years if Wayne Bennett's is the coach.

LOL!!

That's what we need. An old vampire who leaves every club he coaches in a worse state than when he started...we're famously stable so we'll recover super quickly from Wayne's ruination.

"The Brad Arthur Experiment"?! Sounds like the name of a 1970s rock band.

But he'll be your best chance of winning a comp.

Even his worst performance at a club (Knights) still resulted in a preliminary final appearance.

The great man even managed to get the mighty Souths Magpies over the line against Wally's Wynnum in 85.

Look I'd absolutely take a premiership but also I was there through the 90s and the 2000s and the 2010s so I'm kiiiiiiinda sick of us being a basket case on the other hand
