Arthur has some good ideas, but some shockingly terrible ones aswell.

Really love Ritzy's attitude. Might make a good coach one day.

Carseldine, Simpson and Laughlin cut by Queensland

Townshend and Phillipson are also gone, with Forrest moving in, as well as full contracts for Joe Burns and Andrew Robinson. Michael Neser has been upgraded, and Corey Barsby got himself a rookie contract

Carseldine and Simpson both likely to pick up T20 deals IMO.

"My back's about as stable as the Egyptian government at the moment, it's time for me to part ways with cricket,"

WAG. If he can't play in the T20 lets hope he goes into commentary or something.

No real surprises there, apart from Clark keeping a deal obviously.

And what a shame about Scott Coyte...

 

[Noble One]

A real shame to read about the retirement of Brett Geeves. As always, he was entertaining in announcing his retirement.

With a better run without injuries, he would easily have expanded upon his international experience.

Expected Coyte to hang on to his ahead of Casson, tbh. Always thought Clark would get one though.

So mad sadness in seeing

So moving away from the baseball coaches for fielding drills thing I see - aren't they meant to be the best?

 

[TT Boy]

Arthur has some good ideas, but some shockingly terrible ones aswell.

Two examples of that....

Bad: Signed Sajid Mahmood as Western Australia’s overseas, “marquee” player. Arthur also thought Mahmood was an all-rounder.

Good: Requested while coach of RSA that FC fixtures in South Africa be played on roads as South Africa had upcoming away test series in India and Aus and Arthur wanted the bowlers to get fully adjusted to bowling on flat decks.

 

[robelinda]

At least he is making decisions, rather than just sitting back doing nothing like our Mr Nielson.

Yes but they're also not Australian which CA just can not handle.

****in' Steve Rixon.

Was the bane of my childhood.

 

[SamSawnoff]

Yes but they're also not Australian which CA just can not handle.

CA has developed a siege mentality.

that there are so many coaches when our players look so technically undergunned so frequently in all departments.

tbf it's not as if anyone decent has actually been impacted by the state cuts. just a bunch of kids who probably shouldn't even be near FC cricket being cut really.
