Arthur-from Bush to NRL

Found this article on Facebook and it's written by Sixities. I found it insightful and well written and documented. Nice reading, Sixities. BA has come a hell of a long way from being a bush coach to a NRL coach after taking over from Stuart. No one expected BA to do what'd done so far and getting the right team with the likes of Foran, Watmough, Jennings, Scott, and Gordon. Once we were a one man band team-Hayne but now we're a 13 man team, no one depends on the one person-Foran is controlling the rucks well with Norman while Scott is running the opposition ragged and mentoring the younger players. If and IF we get Tamou (which I seriously do doubt) next year we'll be a force to be reckoned with. I don't think losing Junior Paulo that big a loss, RS will screw his career up somehow and JP will be back in the B&G in 2019 but getting back to BA as a coach, I'm impressed, especially from the other night and seeing how proud BA was looking. BA finally got the team he wanted. Last year we lost our #1 man and had to play both Floppo and Robinson at F/B plus we had no decent goalkicker (Sandope was useless as tits on a bull), and our forwards were wimps. With Murphy and Gentle next to BA, our strength went from being okay to f**king awesome. Sixities, you did a great assessment on BA as a coach. Read this article:
