When do we call time?

[El Diablo]

I think I'm now probably at the point that I doubt I'd be too fussed if we parted ways with the coach after next.week.


If the Roosters give us a touch up I doubt he'll make it to pre-season.

there bis no way our tight arse board would sack him especially after they've already given him the OK in the review

 

[Happy MEel]

So Noise has been in charge for 30 min already but I want the merkin sacked.

But we better give him 5 years in charge just to be sure.

FFS.

A prediction of what would happen in the future was made based in what has happened in the past.

It shouldn't be hard to follow.

Who's past? I tend to not get excited about player signings because I know what happens when they get here. The only one I have been excited about was Hayne's return and I want him re-signed again.

The cowboys were almost as bad as us all season. I don't see anyone calling for Green's head. As bad as this season has been I would love to see us honour a contract, BA deserves that. Sometimes, one needs to take a step backwards to see the whole picture.

If BA jagged us a Comp, I’d happily have him here for 10 years.

Yep I got it. I’m just making the point that BA has now been at the helm for 5 seasons with the very real possibility of a 6th. We’ve played finals footy once.

This forum's past.

Anyone thinking that Graham would be our saviour is deluded...and as soon as that didn't happen people would turn on him. Just like they have with umpteen other players.

Probably not with BA as coach, but you asked for potential leadership (which he ticks the box) and he clearly still has the skill set. He is (or was) also off contract at the end of this year. We need to bring better leadership into the playing roster regardless of who is the coach.

I agree we need better leadership .... but i dont think it grows on trees

And i think BA brought some strong leaders in his time, but they are past it now/went off the rails

Watmough, scott, foran were good leadership buys ..... and if any of you bitch in hindsight then you are hindsight heros

What if I bring in an AFL guy to help out and sign Takarangi up for 3 more years? Will smith too. I might even neglect the hooking role for a few years. And I will bring in no leadership. That should give me 5 years in the job to win nothing but a spoon

That point was already well understood.

We have been in the process of trying to elicit whether those who are quick to be critical actually have any sensible ideas on how to improve things. So far the jury is still out.

You dont think 16 and 17 were good years? ... 16 despite every possible disaster ..... was it not worth a contract at the time?

Wasn’t the discussion based on this year’s recruitment for season 2019 and beyond? We need leadership and so far our signings don’t scream leaders.

Keep looking backwards and being critical. You have proven that you aren't capable of looking forwards and offering anything sensible.

It is the easiest thing in the world to be a critic. We can all do it and it doesn't mean that we actually know any better.

All I'm saying is that with all the turmoil over the last XXXX amount of years it would be a step forward for us to honour a contract and be seen as a club that has some stability, regardless of how a season progresses.

Which leaders should we have signed this year?

Please, MEely I am relying on you to come up with someone better than Isaac F**king Luke. I know you can do it.

I judge ba on his whole time here, not just one year

But ok, if you wanna do that ... then what leaders should be bought for next year.

Graham is at the dragons already, sutton is not off contract ..... issac luke is it?

I judge him based on the outcome of each round.

The problem is BA didn't look forward. He has created a huge f**king mess. A coach needs to have foresight. He gets paid a lot of money to do so.

Isaac Luke needed/needs to be the number 1 priority. Unfortunately BA doesn't like a dominant hooker. This is a major problem with our attack. The markers/defence just hammer our halves. If we had a 9 with experience that could run, pass and kick it then it would create a lot more time and space for our halves. Api Korisau next choice

I'd keep both Moses and Norman in the halves till the end of their contract. Norman is not a fullback and Salmon not a 5/8.

I would not play guys out of position.

Ive given you one...John Sutton. I also would have seriously considered signing Klemmer when the dogs were in the shit.
