Can BA lead us to a comp?

Serious Question to all his believers.

Can he lead us to a finals win?

Are any of the coaches under him developing into successful coaches? Would Murph and Kiddy attract any interest anywhere on the open market?

Are there any kids (esp outside backs) that can come in and do a job for him other than the tested and failed Takas, Will Smith, George Jennings etc. How has he been in charge for 6 years and us only have Bevan French come in through our system and contribute anything as a back.

Its wrong to get too high or too low after wins and loses. But once again BA has been exposed and our club is in danger of falling rapidly with no real sound structure in place. 60 something halves in his tenutre we have failed to score a point in the half.

He said during the week we spent the last 5 weeks working on defensive systems because the Manly game exposed us, and now we have confidence in them we can start working on our attack. We get 38 put on us so the 5 weeks of defensive work actually have solved nothing. He is killing the short term future of  this club, and wins with a top 4 talent roster have masked it. He is a massive problem. He is that far out of his depth despite us being in the top 4.

Our preperation is off. The team looks like its never met each other in attack but more alarmingly theyve looked flat as a tack for 6 weeks. BA has been around a while now, and been absolutely kissed on the knob with injuries compared to some other clubs but we're still extremely disjointed. The uninspiring wins in a season we've played almost exclusively at home have really masked a lot of issues. Its easy to say this is a n over reaction and overall its been a successful season. In my opinion we've had a lot go our way this season, and building on last season with our roster it was a real premiership window. Well it appears that window has closed after 4 months. He's a bum.

  • BA need the right people around him as he seems to be a player's coach and can recruit based on his likability. 

    Look at what Trent Barrett has done with the Penrith attack. We've had the same supporting staff for years and neither our attack or defense are anything special apart from a few individual efforts.

    • We are behind the top sides and getting further away. Extending BA's contract based purely on some early season wins in a weird season was a complete blunder. There was no need to rush.

      • Exactly right Girth, Brad had us that wound up after the COVID break that it wasn't funny, it was almost like he expected us to play with that intensity right up until the Grand Final.

        Moses will never cut it either, we have a big forward pack that needs a few breathers throughout the game which he cannot deliver.

      • Brisseyell always goes off half cocked. Reads what he wants , makes up the rest. He is the most confused person on this site.

        • You are mssing plenty alright.

  • I've been saying no to this as far back as 2015.

  • Yes

  • This bloke is a myth. We cannot win a Comp under him. To win a comp you need the best coach. This bloke wouldn't even tie the shoelaces of any decent coach in the competition. No chance. 

  • I am really fuckin pissed off. It's another year wasted. The problems are clear as day and they're getting worse. What team in equal 2nd loses 38 to fuckin nil?
