He was cooked.. done and dusted.
All and their Grandmothers wanted change and fast.
It was over. The Bush Coach was back to Batemans Bay or Centerlink.
WHATS CHANGED
Now there's talk of Resigning...Am i missing something here, SERIOUSLY.
In my opinion and im not alone here... its time to change tack . Onwards and upwards..Aim for far better.
There are a few in our squad and the coach...should never be allowed anywhere near it again..

We are definitely a much better football team this year . Our attack is dangerous at times but we are playing with more options because we are playing to our strengths and playing holes rather bodies .
If Arthur’s can win 2/5 against quality opposition I would think he earnt a two year deal ,
Are we supposed to take you seriously Conescone?
Must be resigned along with Gutho and Moses. We are a club on the rise. More change now will be a backward step. These youngsters are killing it. Get the 2 Browns back and we are on track for finals and a serious shot
The only reason that BA will be resigned is to hold Parra back a few more years.
I am sure he is a nice bloke but Parra needs to be ruthless on the field and regain control of their juniour base.
New blood is urgently needed NOW. BA to see out his contract with a new coach starting as soon as possible.
brissyeel: That`s a laugh. The reason we are seeing some juniors this year has virtually nothing to with Arthur. It has come from the Review of last year. In essence, it was critical of Arthur for not promoting juniors. To hold his job, he has complied no doubt reluctantly given the juniors he has cut before trying them. Matterson and Thaw being two of them, now playing NRL with West Tigers
Yes Robert, we just suddenly produced half a dozen quality juniors out of thin air as a result of the review. The regeneration of our juniors system has been a work in progress since the day BA arrived. It was in a shambles when he arrived and the juniors we were producing were substandard, Kelepi Tanginoa anyone ???
The club has had to rebuild the system from the ground up in that time, and yes it was always going to take about 5 years before we saw the fruits of that labour.
We are only now just seeing that.
they didn’t appear out of nowhere .. they appeared because BA’s preferred options contributed to us having an horrendous year last year and the focus of that season going from aiming for a premiership to aiming to see what we had coming through.
The bought much needed fresh air and enthusiasm into the squad and were outplaying their seniors so we went that route . It has literally nothing to do with some development tree who’s seeds took 5 years to blossom. they were given a go and made the most of it .
You have to have the players in the system for them to be given a go. What is interesting is the "junior" aren't technically juniors. All of the kids who have come through our lower grade except for Oregon at this point, have been recruited. Brown, Niokore, Salmon, Mahoney, Stone. That suggests we're actually doing a much better job of scouting then developing our own homegrown players.
I saw Thaw is Avengers Endgame and I must say he's stacked on some weight since he left us. No loss.
