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

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....!
Another BA cheerleader..ask yourself why Perth went ahead with big with limited NRL Club head coaching experience ??? Enough said Tim Tam you simpleton..do us a big favour and join your buddies at the TCT...lol enjoy son...
They wanted a figurehead and good for them go and ask how Meninga went setting up GC.They wanted a name they got one and prepare to meet the whirlwind as signing him I wouldn't be confident.
That's absolute garbage!
BA is a good coach who took us from the gutter to a Grand Final. The reality was he had become stale at Parramatta and it was time for a change - particularly considering the flaws in our game were not being addressed or improved.
The change in direction with Ryles has thus far been very positive and considering media superhero Ciraldo took 2.5 years (along with several high profile signings) to achieve, Ryles is ahead of schedule.
Try to have some perspective!
BA had only one look, one look......
Why can't hardly anyone see it, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
BA had many flaws and failed to evolve as a coach but you can also point out all of his yet also point out the many positives that he achieved at the club. BA inherited a mess, we had more spoons than a soup kitchen, we went through the whole salary drama yet BA had us competing for finals spots most years. Did we hold on to BA too long, yes I believe so but not many coaches get sacked after taking a team to a GF. BA made many mistakes over the years and ultimately his stubbornness and inability to evolve cost him in the end. If I was the Titans would I hesitate in signing BA, he'll no. He's exactly what they need right now but for how long is the question
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
