Everyday I come on here and the predictable Brad Arthur bagging is in every blog, not saying people are right or wrong, I have just been thinking to myself lately
What would this club look like if Daniel Anderson, Stephen Kearney or Ricky Stuart had not left/ been sacked? Think what you will about Brad, but I don't see any of those named making a change for the better

I thought Daniel Anderson was actually a good coach and very unlucky not to win a Premiership! He should have been given another chance!
This has been our biggest problem, I don't want to mention names but a again, the board caused our down fall during the salary cap years but who worn the wrap? BA, those years are now counted as failed years under his rein. New admin come in, dismantle our coaching department, BA gets the blame, harsh but that's reality. I mean look at Bennett at the Knights, he didn't have what he had at the Broncos, how many spoons? Back at the Broncos, back in the 8. But in all that, Melbourne & the Roosters have been the most consistent Sharks another, but they are under salary cap investigation. So these two MS & SR clubs are the ones they constantly get accused of not being under the salary cap... Are they getting away with things that help them get a top side in first grade?
So how do the do it? TPA? Every argument you have for BA to be sacked, their an answer that backs his stay. We need a coach that has had success in the NRL, hmm yes sounds good. Enter Hagan, Stuart, young coach that comes from a good back ground, enter Kearney, Taylor, bring in someone that Parramatta... Enter Brad Arthur, so we've made a full circle, gee takes me back to all the boards that have lets us down. Nothing will change till round 10, I do believe the team will turn it around, but can they win the Comp? The answer no, heaps better teams & coaches some we wanted at our club, will also miss out but they will do better than us.
All I'll say, the board need to get their shit together, once that's in place, our salary cap will work, better recruitment will help, better future will come about. We are all wanting the same thing, it's just that we We all have different reasons to blame, it's not our fault, it's this bloody club that can't ge it right.
