"I was one of the people on here that wanted Flanagan and a few of them said "We don't want a drug cheat at Parramatta". St. George have been up and down with some of their performances but Flanagan is getting a pretty weak squad to be competitive.…"
"That's what a strong club committed to success would do (I said 3 years ago the moment the decision is made that we will not win a premiership under Arthur he needs to be moved on - irrespective of who is available). Still waiting."

Maybe that's what's wrong with Sticky, great player.. shithouse coach
The most successfull coaches, especially in world soccer, were average or below aberage players.
some of the biggest coaching flops have been former great players
The same man that single handedly destroyed the way the game was played and the spirit of the game.
Rhe architect that brought in the wrestling and choking which eventually saw one of his players ruin a players life by not being able to walk again.
I’m not saying he’s a shit coach, but fuck what he did to the game for his success.
Could not agree more; we go back to the 2006 era and it started there; and Smith being outed quite rightly from the 2008 GF for his grapple.....smart coach no doubt about that but the tackling etc stuffed the game; and the bigger issue was the NRL not doing much about it imo.
How many premierships has he actually won? 2? all the rest were stripped for cheating.
Melbourne are only successful because of the referees and the NRL, not Bellamy.
He won how many Origins? funny how when he is on the other side of the referees he can win shlt huh?
Bellamy’s success was built on cheating the cap . If he didn’t cheat he wouldn’t have been able to have the spine he’s had in that team assembled . The fact he didn’t have to lose one of those players is a joke . I don’t hold much respect for anything Bellamy’s done in the game . Even his so called miricale Work with journeyman and turning them into good players , I’d like to see him do it in a bum team . Something tells me that if Bellamy had say Brian Norrie at Parramatta things would be slightly different .
But yea , you’re 100% correct , it’s a smart move him getting out of Melbourne when he’s about to lose his key players . It’s a shame because I was looking forward to seeing what he can do when he has to start from scratch .
Bellamy has reigned from 2003 to 2018. Cheating aside they have not had one negative season in that entire time. That is 16 years of winning football. The only other coach with a similar record is Wayne Bennett.
They DID lose Inglis, who went on to win a title as Souths. They have consistently shed players to keep the spine together. And anyway they finally did lose Cronk, so your argument is flawed.
Not one negative season? Explain 2007 and 2009 to me.
