To be honest one of our biggest weaknesses is our assistant coaches. We have kept the same coaches
Murphy and Kidwell for 3plus years that is part of the problem.
The best coaches Bellamy, Bennett, Robinson consistently change up the coaching staff to get new voices in and look how many current coaches have come from those systems.
Then look at the difference in the panthers from having Barrett back as attack coach.
I know covid robbed the halves of Joey but he wasn't employed as a full time assistant.
I accept BA will see out his contract maybe even get another one but he has to change the othet voices in dressing room but from what ive heard BA is not the type to work with people who might threaten his job.
"Mitchy, for as long as I've watched the Eels over 46 years, outside the amazing 80s, I felt we had a soft underbelly that would crack when enough pressure was applied. Ryles has given me hope that maybe, just maybe, (can I say maybe once again),…"

A culture and systems issue.
BA did some good things: consistent finals…"

Slug,
How would style our team play without B.A and using assistants? O.K
Well they probably wouldn't tackle hard or run hard cause that's all BA can instill in this team - fuck tactics that's where it's at.
Surely no other coach expects his side to run hard and tackle hard?
They'd probably draw by half of 6.5
No worse than we are playing now.
