Correct about the Leigh game - our defence was too passive, and our attack was a mess. We won but our structural problems were there throughout the game. I don't think getting into the play offs matters as much as seeing performances fundamentally improve.

Just on the Origin, its a bit daft to compare to SL. The NRL is a long way ahead, but Origin is almost played under different rules to normal NRL games. Its much higher intensity, and if players tried to play that way every week they'd be injured or suspended for long periods. Watch a mid-table NR game for comparison to Leeds vs KR. There is a gap, but its not light years. What we don't have is many genuine superstars. Even assuming we could get players motivated to play as hard as Origin they just aren't as good.

Would everyone be happy if Arthur did sign on for next year from what we've seen, or do we need to see a little bit of his influence on team performances first?

I’d be happy with either. His track record demonstrates his ability to coach. To turn around perennial failures into perennial play off participants and even a GF in the NRL shows what he can do.

I could understand some people wanting to wait a little longer, but I would be happy to go ahead now. I think the delay is on his side not “Blaster’s”…






It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.

Personally, I would like to see how we perform the next four weeks before determining. I like everything he has said so far, but need to see if it translates to improved performances.

I'd agree with the above posts.

It sounds like hes open to the job and came across very well in this weeks presser. I'd cautiously keep my powder dry as hes been upfront about wanting an NRL job again and dependant on how our squad perform / whats delivered he may not want it after x10 games.

I’m cautious about him signing up. I think he’ll go to the NRL first decent job that comes up. We need a 3 year commitment from him minimum

Agree.
This is one thing I dislike about the deal where it appears we have to wait until the end of the season his decision if thats the case.This will leave us scratching around for a new coach for the start of next season if nobody else is lined up.
We need a decision before the end of the season his intentions.

If we could adopt that mentality it would give us a good platform to close game’s out. On the plus side, I am optimistic as to the future for the team as we have finally come to the conclusion that we aren’t doing the basics right. I might be wrong, but I think Smiths plan was to have a lightweight pack and play a high tempo game. Eventually wearing teams down, anyway that’s all in the past.

He has been brutally honest - he want to coach in the NRL but will take this on to keep himself occupied. I like that honesty.

The club have to convince him that they will invest sufficient for him to win the comp and keep him here.

If I were him I'd want assurances that I could improve the squad if I was going to stay. If Martin does re-sign, and fair enough he is a solid performer, that only leaves us 1 quota spot assuming Fus goes. Not enough, in my opinion.

We would have to act to cut Frawley off sooner, or maybe even Mom, in order to free up enough quota to bring in the 2 new forwards / possibly a new 7 that we're going to need to be in a position to win SL.

With Hall incoming, and with the young lads pushing through now, our backline isn't terrible but we have to get the platform and the link right next year.
