When do we call time?

[emjaycee]

Not a huge amount to get excited about there, other than possibly the one bloke who’s unlikely to be allowed to coach again.

Griffin had Penrith in the 8 both years we was there and I heard a rumour about 3 months ago that he cancelled his move back to Brisbane as he was a chance of getting our first grade gig IF Arthur wasn't renewed.

Tooves

Griffen is a bum, don’t rate him at all.

Holbrook or Demetriou would be better options.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Griffin's team was doing well when he got the arse.

 

[84 Baby]

Yeah but surely Griffin cops some of Griffin’s exteam currently going to shite

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Probably that too

 

[Avenger]

The following 7 coaches are unemployed since their last coaching gig sometime in the last 2 years.
McFadden
Barrett
Cirialdo
Griffin
Flanagan
Henry
Taylor

Take your pick...

Seriously the NRL are kidding themselves if they think that they can preclude Flanagan from coaching in 2020. Their de-registration of him has cost him nearly $1m dollars. Isn't that enough? I'm not saying I want him but come on he didn't kill someone FFS.

You also forgot to mention that nearly every Australian based coach has a clause in their contract to return to the NRL. Of them, you can include Furner, Sheens, and Holbrook.

Griffin's team was doing well when he got the arse.

And his players hated him so thats a huge plus for us. Our "Love In" dosent appear to be working.

 

[T-Boon]

We could go for Daniel Anderson. He was a fine coach and all has been forgiven.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

We could go for Daniel Anderson. He was a fine coach and all has been forgiven.

Good point. Out of all those suggested so far I like him the best.

 

[Chipmunk]

How about another Bellyache protege? Adam O'Brien...currently with the Roosters.

Seems as good as any other options other muppets are coming up with.

 

[84 Baby]

What about just Martina Navratilova himself? He’s a f**king merkin but surely he’ll want to move on from Scum at some point

 

[Gronk]

Griffin would be great.

Did you make a call ? Well done Gaz. I’m proud of you. For once you even did it without being sarcastic. Imagine we start winning again? Are you going to borrow my flip flops?

It's the same call I made 10 months ago. If you weren't foaming at the mouth at the time you might have noticed...

None of the names mentioned above except for Flanagan appeal or sound like an upgrade to BA.

This is the problem, we have chopped and changed coaches for years with the same results, a new coach is not going to fix this mess.

I am not saying I want BA, I don't know what I want. Some stability would help and we have had that for 5 years, in keeping BA we probably keep Gutherson, Moses, Mau'u, MJ etc beyond next year. Do we want that, or do we want to start over again, possibly lose some of the players above and start fresh with some other average players.

Last week they were world beaters, this week they were garbage. That is a mentality thing, that is a cultural thing. Many have said we can't lose Gutho simply because of the culture he creates and brings. Well what is that exactly? Being a superstar at home in front of your passionate fans one week? To being embarrassingly dismantled away from home a week later? You don't become suddenly shit after one week, like I said that is in our DNA it's deeply rooted in Parramatta and no matter who comes here they eventually let it take over them too. It's attitude and its a mentality and last night was proof that every year its ugly head comes back to remind us, just when we think we may be moving on from it and going forward. 10 steps forward followed by 20 back.

We have to weigh it up but none of it hasn't happened before thus coming full circle leading us right back here, square one, wondering why it has and continues to go so so wrong.

He got sacked from Brisbane FFS!! Brisbane. It’s the same as failing at the Roosters.

 

[hineyrulz]

We have won just 20 away games from 65 under BA, and quite a few of those wins would of been at ANZ.

You can’t expect to be a finals threat when you can’t win tough on the road.

 

[Gronk]

Not sure who is a genuine contender who will be an upgrade. Flanagan won’t be allowed back in the short term after his finger prints were found all over the rorts.

Justin Holbrook is the only merkin who is doing well and off contract.

 

[Snoochies]

When's the timeline for re-signing? End of June?
The draw is real tough up til then, either Brad will turn us around and we tough it out or it's curtains. I'm happy to wait before passing judgement but for what it's worth, I think it's curtains.

Real shame, I love Brad.
