BA inherited a cluster f**k of atomic proportions and as a result a couple of years later had to navigate the club through arguably its lowest period during the salary cap scandal.

Ricky wouldn’t have lasted 5 min if faced with such a challenge. In fact, he might have got a sense of the enormity which is why he f**ked off before completing the job.
My point was that the squad BA took over was much stronger than the side he had in 2013, and lightyears ahead of the team SK had in 2011. We all know Ricky was a gutless weak willed merkin.

I don’t think you can talk about a ‘squad’ during that period and ignore the Salary Cap elephant. Some poor merkin eventually had to deal with the fallout and that was BA.

So, yeah I’m sure he is really thankful to Ricky for the great squad he left him!

Did I say that?

I am just making the point that the Salary cap breaches for which we were charged commenced ahead of BA starting.

So if you say 'He left BA a better squad than what he started with' it is disingenuous to not mention the fact that to do so we had to start breaking the salary cap.

"The NRL's Integrity Unit had made preliminary findings that Parramatta had, since 2013, been operating a system designed to exceed the salary cap without detection."

No wonder Ricky f**ked off when he did.

This would be my answer to this mess.

Keep BA for 2019 - Sacking him will bring bad media. Lets lay low. It also makes us look unstable. We have a good crop of young kids and we want them to stay. Sack the coach and I am certain we lose the cream of crop.

Offer Bennet a Smith/Gould like role.The timing is right.

Bring in an attacking coach. I'd consider Hagan.

The squad can bounce back in 2019 with team we will have. BA just needs less control.

Nope. But he musn't have been happy with where things were at. If he was he would have stayed.

Bennet would be hard to get.
Hagan would be an excellent attack coach.Just no good for main role.

Look at the Roosters when JT has been the attack coach. Brilliant footy.

Here you go:
He left because Canberra offered him a 3 year deal on more coin. Plus with the board wars at the time you can't really blame him. nah f**k it I will blame him the gutless weak merkin.

..and that squad won more games in a season than Ricky's squad did it not?

Not really sure what point you merkins are trying to make.
Lets just stop with the stupid comparisons.

Lol.

Three pages of whinging based on a bad joke about how BA lost his hair.

On any other forum this would be a new low...
