He has been a success.
At getting a team from the bottom of the ladder.
In a sense he has been, making us relevant when we were a laughing stock, we were what Wests are now. Couldn't attract players now we are a middle to top team consistently. Yeah he hasn't won a comp but his job coming in firstly was making us competitive.
I don't think anyone can really claim he has been anything other than a success. I guess it's the level of success he can be judged on. I do believe he has reached his ceiling and won't win a premiership though.
Well said BEM, different types of success.
He could be a resuscitation coach, bringing dying teams back to life, then Wayne Bennett type takes over to win a title. Nothing wrong with that
A better Nathan Brown type, Brown was seen as a resuscitation coach but not great, BA will be better.
BA is definitely better at rebuilds than Nathan Brown is.
That is the best explanation and thoughts on coaching I think I have heard about the Eels and BA.
30 years hey that would be a Dynasty. We could have Grandbaby Arthur as starting Fullback.
On a serious note, We were so very very close last year.
We wouldn't have beat Souffs in the GF.
Unlikely anyways.
Gus sacked griffin because the panthers were going to lose Nathan cleary to the tigers so had to re-hire ivan. It had to happen before the finals because it would have been a suicidal decision to sack griffin if he had won the comp or even made the GF.
But yeah I get your point.
Agree 100% Gould is a super twat with a loud mouth
anybody notice that at least 75% of the time gus has a big herpies outbreak on his mouth, usually on one side?
I certainly wouldnt want to use the mic after him.
