Conspiracy theories - Is there a third party over calling Arthur?

Posted by Cʜɪᴇғy Mclovin 🐐 on August 2, 2018 at 4:38pm

There seems to be a major change in the direction the club is heading and for mine, it seems Arthur is being over called on decisions concerning signings and future roster planning.

● Bevan French - a brad arthur poster boy and one of his first debutants earmarked as Arthur's future elite fullback - told to walk.

● Norman - has been defended by brad for years and re-signed by Brad a lucrative 750k contract - told to walk.

● Kane Evans - Brad's prized prop signing who was supposed to change our pack's composition - cant get out of Wenty

● Kenny - another of brads bad boys who had 9 lives - axed.

● Major cleanout with a number of older players including matagi and Vave cut and talk more to be released. Brads old heads - dead wood moneyball policy is being overturned.

For mine, Brad hasn't the influence over the club as he once did, and there's definitely others planning the future of the Parramatta club. Could there be another coach calling the shots ?

Yep, TIMMY MANNAH IS NEXT! 10 years too late.

Brads gone stale, lost his perspective, this is why he cant be let make any decisions regarding future recruits.

Oh I wish Chief. If BA is being allowed to see out his term, IMO recruitment urgently needs to be taken out of his hands to protect our future roster.

Plus Beau Scott retired too. So, a lot of older guys are gone now. How old is David Gower? Is he older than M.Jennings? I'm pretty sure Timmy & Jarryd are very close in age. So, we've still got a few "older" guys in our squad.

  Jarryd and Tim are the exact same age, they share the same birthday

Please Penrith. Sack Griffin so you can sign Barrett. That way we can let the sea eagles take this loser off our hands. Please.

  Hes been told he can look elsewhere if the numerous reports are true.
  
  He also had his manager looking elsewhere putting the feelers out at the start of the year if he couldnt get the position he wanted, doesnt sound like a team player to me.

To be fair, when most of these players were signed (or had contracts extended). BA was running the joint as there was no functioning board behind him. Presumably Bernie as head of football is challenging him to try something different and make these players accountable for their own actions. That is what is needed, and does not mean there is another coach calling the shots.

  You may well be correct longfin. Bernie isn't an NRL novice and it could be that he is stepping up to the plate

Bevan French was shifted away from fullback by Arthur and the writing was on the wall for Corey when Arthur moved him to fullback. Evans was dropped to Wentworthville long ago. Nothing to see here in my opinion.
