Also, if we can get jag a win against the Dragons this Saturday then another 2 points with the bye up next, we'll have a host of players coming back from injury and suspension including
Moses, Sam Tuivaiti, Moretti, Bailey Simonsson, Ritchie penasini, Ryley Smith most of them due back after the bye.
A run for the 8 is not out of the question

BA was an average coach, one dimensional and was more interested in keeping players loyal to him instead of the club - that's why clowns like Gutho, RCG, Cartwright, Brown couldn't to wait to accept other offers BA is so average he'd struggle to coach the harlem Globetrotters...11 seasons was a total waste of time, money and he created no legacy...glad the dope left our club.
Say it again Mickey, I am very happy about Ryles and the job he is doing and what he has achieved so far.
To say BA was a waste for 11 seasons is unfair. He came in and did a very necessary job, ideally he would have finished around the 2020 mark but covid and then the fluke of making the GF in 22 caused the unpleasant memories combined with the nepotism situation. I believe that BA lost the room in 22 and only got it back because the players realised they were damaging themselves.
I will always think fondly of what BA achieved in that 6/7 year period.
With regard to this blog, it is pertinent and worth saying but I cannot help myself to say that the author most certainly is bi-polar.....his hatred of BA is only matched for his love affair with JR.
What a shame Chiefy that you cannot me more balanced when you express your love and hate for all things coachy. LOL
For a crap coach he was better than everyone except the coach that beat us. We were in contention & or in the finals or fighting for a place in a grandfinal. Because he didn't win, means through out history, their been a shit load of coaches that by your standards were crap coaches yet we all know that's not true. Easy to sit here now & bag someone or players before them, when knowing yourself your just a simple....!
Well Bobalicious , it was actually statistically Barrett that was playing for the spoon last season. He did coach about 70% of the games. But yes I agree , we certainly do have far less talent on the ground this season from a spending perspective. Funnilly when I used to harp on about these same players not delivering their salaries the Eggsperts here would call me crazy.
And here we are with a journeyman reject showing us how Dylan Brown the " defensive half " should be playing and a kid with a handfull of games under his belt forcing the muppets on FOX to eat their words about Gutherson being our biggest loss since the 2001 GF.
We were in this position in the early years of BA's tenure and he was being applauded.
Bazza, read Mick's post about our defence under ba, it was always hit and miss. Wingers would fly in for absolutely no reason. I don't see that happening under Ryles. Our attack looks more promising also.
I don't know about you but I've never had confidence in our defence under Arthur at no time throughout his tenure. Sure we had some blow out games earlier under Ryles but it took time for the players to learn through new systems. Its its still very early doors also
Tell you what Chief, if we are in the same position this time next year, Ryles will be copping it from me.
Regardless of this time next year we do not have to be negative for the sake of it.
Wiz completely exaggerates his perspective, nothing unusual about that.
Chiefy can't help himself, if BA's blood is in the water, he goes into a frenzy.
Mickey has said it twice.
Analyst is not interested unless their is a scoop in it.
Am I the only Unicorn left? no wonder they are so rare LOL
1ee wouldn't be the same without the personalities ploppo. Just be careful running around with that horn you have. Could be a workplace safety issue
Not sure how you can claim Moses has gone backwards. Injuries have curtailed his playing time, that's it.
