I have been and still am a BA supporter. I couldn’t give a hoot if I’m labelled a unicorn for that. Brad is a good, even great coach. But yeah he should quit.If he was a smart coach he would have quit 2 years ago. When the team he was putting together got ripped apart by the Salary Cap Saga and two marquee players (Hayne and Foran) going loopy on him.A smart coach like Bellamy would have gone while the going is good. Like he is going now Melbourne are about to lose the Australian spine due to old age. Brisbane have a strong young team that will continue to make him look like a good coach. That’s smart. Not exactly loyal, but who gives about loyalty these days.Apparently the hopeless Bush coach as the delusional realist call him. He decided to stay in and support a team decimated by the NRL due to the salary cap woes that were no fault of his. He got them firing when there was nothing to play for after out points were stripped. Last year we got top four. The ring leader of the “realists” sack BA brigade promised to leave but didn’t. With a fair game at Melbourne (which was never going to happen being the poster boys 300th) and we possibly could have gone all the way. That was one thing did fault BA for. We should never have gone down there and try to win. That stuffed the teams believe in the game and their confidence.Then, once again through no fault of his own, BA lost possibly one of the best footy players in the world in Semi. The NRL were never going to let us cough up enough money to make him stay. Semi was the inspiring player (or 2-3) all teams have that are successful. We got none right now.Instead of walking out when he could have saved his reputation he stuck with this now seriously undermanned team trusting they would put in for him. There were not a lot of great signings coming through for 2018 anyway. We’ve got no origin players.The players do love BA. He has not lost the dressing room. The reason we are getting injuries is because they are putting in 110%. Unfortunately, despite the effort, without Hayne, Mannah, Prichard, now Moses and French again and Scott and Jennings and a few others getting old, effort is not enough.No coach with that team would do much better.Changing coaches during bad runs has not won us anything but wooden spoons. How is sacking a great coach that’s been through hell for us going to turn that around.See More
