"Coryn, you claim BA was "ostracized" for the "same style of play" that JR is coaching but copping no flak about.
Yet the premise there is that BA and JR are in fact coaching the same "style of play". You have not established that assumption.

They had a higher average set distance, however with better completion, Eels actually topped them in total run meters
Yeah but the Cowboy metres, while Taumololo and Mikaele gained metres, it was all their slippery players like Purdue, Dearden and Drinkwater that made the metres for them by evading tackles etc...
But I agree about the other forwards dominating us in those other games, which creates space behind the ruck for the fast 9s and 1s to run into.
We've won every game we completed at over 80% this year. And while the Cowboys set completions were only 71% against us, we have actually completed far worse twice this year (63% and 64%) and both times we conceded 50.
What I don't get is no one but no one is criticising JR for a style of play that the last coach was ostracised for.Not only is he getting a pass here we have the worst defense in the comp leaking at an nrl record type rate,we also don't have the players to play that way but we are still a well coached side I've red on here.
Now think about that for minute I did have to have a quite chuckle to myself about that one.

Maybe you have a point, maybe you don't. But you have to establish not assume key premises.
In what way are the styles the same? What is the evidence for the styles being the same?
This is not the way ryles intended the team to play, that was made very obvious with the style of fowards he preferred but since the nrl suddenly changed the way the game was officiated he has had to adapt. The smaller more mobile pack does not suit the sped up version of the game, big powerful forwards punching holes up the middle destroying a defences structure is what works with this version of the game.
Ryles has been caught out by this sudden change and is trying to adjust on the run without half of his squad on top of having a forward pack that doesn't suit the style needed to thrive in the faster game.
If we play for 80 keep the coach
