You'd have to say that ba has been gifted so many great signings, I'd say better than most NRL teams in the same period bar the Roosters, it's our development which has been lagging behind. If our development had been what it should, ba would have definitely won a competition or two.
I don't think that's a fair comment. With exceptions to Jennings and Fergo a lot of the players mentioned were developed under Arthur. Moses, Gutho, Papali, RCG, Cartwright, Lane, Hopgood, Niukore are all better products having played under Arthur. A lot of credit has to go to the individuals for having the work ethic to get there and how much influence BA has had we don't know but they have all developed under Arthur. To say BA is a bad coach is just rubbish. Is he the coach to win us a premiership? I have major doubts but the guy is absolutely a NRL coach and is much more than just a "bush coach"
Are you from the cumberland throw angry ? Where in that post did I refer to ba on the lack of development?. The point was that if the club had its act together in development along with the players we've signed, I believe we would have won a comp in ba's 11 seasons here
Ps, even Brad referred to himself as being a bush coach .......
"Goes to show the coaching staff have fck all system in place. When key players are out, they are screwed.
This club needs to learn how a good system works at Penrith and Melb. "
"This also probably saves BA for one more season, not sure how anyone going to do anything with Mitch and gutho out. Similar to Raiders situation just going to have to throw young blokes in and I guess Dylan brown is now the Leader. "
