He honestly is not that wrong. We were unlucky tonight bombing all those tries. 2 tries from dropping the ball in attack. 2 tries from kicks where Blaize fell over for one. Broncos only scored 2 decent tries. We absolutely tore them to shreds in attack as we bombed 8 tries. We could have put a cricket score on them if we had more polish and luck. Today was not on BA. Only thing I am mad about is him chosing lussick, Sivo and Lane every week.
How can you absolve BA from this ? Yes we bombed in your words - 8 tries but surely we bombed them because the players in question are either not concentrating at the penultimate time or have a distinct lack of attention to detail. This is not due to some mysterious cosmic force called luck, it comes back to coaching, pure and simple.
Mate bombing those try's was not unlucky . Unlucky is lightning striking the ball as you're about to put it down. Bombing those try's is just having lesser quality players than it takes to score those try's. Unlucky would be if you could say that no other players in their respective positions could've scored those try's either. Wheras just about every player in a genuine top 8 team in those respective positions would've turned each of those bombed try's into points. Fuck that one that Simmo through the inside ball that was knocked down by Walsh , I could've thrown that dummy and scored after 20 beers , how the fuck can Arthur call that bad luck .

They did try, we were at times unlucky. Though difference between good teams and bad teams is execution. Brisbane aren't playing as a good team every week but have a lot of quality. Overall BA got them up, but still doesn't mean he keeps his job.
As you said, he keeps naming the likes of Lussick where Hands and MA can come in, Lane where Tuilagi or Carty (When fit) can play. Wiremu Greig even doesn't seem to be that bad in cup. He still names them, that is where slight blame can come on him. Lane was very average, yet is excused.
pretty fair assessment of the game, parra bombed about 5 tries. Just missing the polish from Moses but effort was much better. Only change I'd make next week is Moses in sanders out.
Thing is, Moses is going to be rusty as will the team from such a long layoff. Having back for Melbourne is great as we need him but at same time it is a bad opposition to get him back against as he will be shaky.
The worst part is we will get him back and then they'll take him for Origin now that Clearys out. Thats the bullshit part of it . And history says that Moses gets injured playing Origin.
Good footy teams make their own luck. The way he and junior were bouncing around they were basically saying that everything was great and it's all 'lady lucks' fault.
Considering that we could be in 15th place at the conclusion of this weekend, he seems a bloody happy little Vegemite Brad. Perhaps hes been told that no matter what , he won't be sacked. That's the only reason he would be so bloody happy.
"Everything from Bennett ? Or everything from the media about Bennett ? Has Bennett stated he wants to go back to Souffs - he is one cagey old fox... he enjoys theses charades... he did the same to saints back in 2015... saints had the deal done and…"
"I don't get the Maguire love. Yep he won a comp at Souths but his stint at Tigers was laughable. He's definitely and old school coach, not too dissimilar to BA. I reckon the club will go younger eg) Webster type (unless we can land Wayne)"
"Everything so far from Bennett is he is definitely going to Souths. If this were a charade, and he is remotely interested in Parra (which I'm doubting), it can't be about money. If he is meeting once more with McElduff/Saratinos before putting pen…"

I just hope he isnt rushing back out of loyalty to support the team before he's ready and gets injured again, he is gone another 8-12 weeks
