WA BEARS

[T-Boon]

There has to be a better option than Brad Arthur. He can’t be the face of a new club looking to establish itself. Zero personality and an average or below average football coach.

 

[Perth Red]

See my question above. He bought fairly decent players from other clubs and only scrapped in a 50% record.

vastly different build is needed for the new teams

So who would you say is a better option?

 

[King-Gutho94]

was a roller coaster record:

took over in 2014 after two successive wooden spoons
yr 1 finished 10th, then 12th , then14th

then finished 4th

then wooden spoon

then 3 semi finals

then grand final

then 10th

6 seasons he had a winning %, 2 seasons a 50-50 and 2 seasons a losing %

all in all I wouldn't say the worse. In 10 years made the finals 5 times inc 4 semis and a GF. If the Western Bears achieved that in our first decade I wouldnt be unhappy!

That wooden spoon side in 2018 were tipped to make the Top 4.

He should have been sacked then.

If you want this Perth side to play an exciting brand of footy they won't get it under Brad Arthur.

Chase the collision and front load your efforts areas was his MO.

Tactics left a lot to be desired and lacked a lot of attention to details in key areas.

Nathan cleary wasn't handed his debut by his father it was by Griffin.

By the time Ivan came back Nathan was NSW halfback am I right.

So nepotism isn't an issue as Nathan had already earned his spot.

Fancy comparing him to Jake Arthur the only thing they have in common is they have both scored the last try in the final 5 mins of a GF

That's right Ivan was tired
.....
I am right too, just the optics are skewed
