I am just glad he still has a home to go to. We were initially a little worried that that may not be the case.
And I must say, I really did appreciate your concern mate.
It meant a lot to me to know that there are people out there in the cyber-world what care.

There was some talk about how good the dogs are going, well it looks like they have 3 Assistant coaches and their own NSW cup side:

https://www.bulldogs.com.au/news/2017/10/23/bulldogs-confirm-assistant-coaches/

So one assistant coach is also the NSW cup coach.

Just compare that to what the eels started the year with, one assistant coach and no NSW cup side.

Just shows what resources other sides get compared to us.

Additionally it’s suggested we need a new attack coach, well it appears David Penna is the dogs backs coach (so I assume he has a major role in attack), well he was recruited from Souths last year who were terrible. Yet Souths attack is great this year and dogs apparently have good attack too - so was Penna responsible for bad attack last year but good attack this year? Anyhow I just think it shows that there is a whole range of factors involved in fixing a sides attack and not as simple as replacing an assistant coach.

good point

I wonder what, or even if, the review will touch on whether we need our own "second grade" being our ISP team that trains on the next pitch and occasionally swap players so the ISP team mingle with our NRL team.

Do Wentry train at Ringrose or do some of them train with the main squad ?

I just wonder if Wenty dont have access to our staff and facilities then it may affect some of our preparations.

Our ISP team seems pretty crap atm.

And another thing how can our new Chairman, Mcfuffin or whatever his name is say that Arthur’s job is safe for next year if the review has yet to be finalised?

What if the review points significantly to him?

I think saying "job is safe" isn't the same as saying "Arthur will have the job". It is really just saying "there will be a head coach job next season".

Maybe he already knows that it doesn’t?

Or maybe BA will still get arseholed?

Either way, I am not going to piss my knickers just yet.

I seem to recall when asked about BA, Max response was that he is still contracted for 2019, or words to that effect. Sounded to me like he was sitting on the fence just stating his current contract status as contracts can be broken.

I dont recall him ever saying that BA's job was safe for next year, unless I missed it.

You missed it just like my request to rejoin the Parrallel dimension.
