Sack Adam O’Brien

[The Artist Formerly Known as Aku'd]

The thing is last season, around this time we were saying the same thing, season is done etc. Then somehow they turned it around and made the 8. I can't see that happening this season though.

2 wins, then 5 losses on the bounce. Next week likely to be 6 losses.

Look at the performances from both teams in the two wins though

Is there not the clause if we finish under 12th than we can let AOB walk? No payout? It’s looking like we will finish bottom 4 this year.

That was for last year

No, the clause was the 2027 extension, which he's already triggered.

That contract was another Isaac Moses special but instead of giving his client options to get out he locked this one in long term and Wests signed it even though they were the only ones bidding for his service. A huge own goal.

Forget finishing top 8 let’s just do enough to avoid the spoon, afraid our season is done and next year looking just as bad.

Probably better off getting the spoon. Might force Wests hand

 

[Chaister]

Just say we started a go fund me to pay AOB out, do we think Wests would be more likely to sack him or they’d dig their heals in more? I’d happily contribute.

 

[Macca89]

Be interesting to see how much would get raised

 

[Arm chair analysist]

When does matty John's start?

 

[BETTERTHANLEGO]

Craig Bellamy telling m. John’s that coaching isn’t for him, I’d listen to bellyache and keep printing money in the media

 

[Chaister]

Yeah coaching definitely isn’t for Matty Johns. Would be a disaster wherever he was.

 

[SimpleSpud]

Feel bad for AOB personally. I think he has had a wack roster since before POS and he has the correct philosophys.

But I think now we are starting to see the ceiling.

No coaches available, but do we still have Brian McDerrmot? I think he sounds like the right guy and the team respects him maybe for 26?

Wiedler on hastings

The stories around leaving a genuine 7 out of the team are starting now.

I’d certainly give Brian a chance

He has hung around for a couple of years , prob learnt all he can off Obi ? Where the best restaurants are, suburb to buy a house etc

 

[Frank McWilliams]

No other options, AOB or McDermott

 

[mozza]

I’ll coach them. I’ll do it for whatever Obi’s on plus unlimited access to the party pies in the corporate boxes.

 

[MBQLD]

What are everyone’s thoughts about how long Wests will persist with AOB? My gut feeling is that they won’t even consider making a change until the end of the year, but surely losing 5 in a row where we never even looked like winning would be concerning???

I think because it’s a business they will want to keep seeing sold out stadiums, memberships and merchandise sales being on the up. As soon as people give up on the year (me being one) in greater numbers there will be a serious discussion, a meeting at HQ and Adam won’t be one of the invites.

Anyone else get frustrated with the naming of the team each week? I see it like this. Each week he is trying to mix paint and the colour is poo brown but no matter how he mixes the ingredients it’s just always poo brown. Doesn’t matter what order you put the tints in Adam it’s just going to be the same sh** colour. He’s not even figured out there’s more than one colour which is the worry.

I’d love to see his English offsider get handed the reigns.

On the plus side Brian could ACTUALLY say he has coached in grand finals as he has won a lot more than Adam has
