"Walker has been a defensive turnstile. Chooks brought DCE in to teach him despite him having years of FG. Brown was out early with back issues, right? Katoa was let go and signed elsewhere. Mamm was surrounded with veterans like Reynolds and Hunt.…"
"I very much doubt that Volkman will be our 6 going into 27. He just doesn't have the speed over long distances. Over 10 or 20m, sure he has good footwork, but there's no way Ryles is going to offer anything but a 1 year deal going forward. I think…"
"EA, good point. I've only seen a small sample size (looks talented). I liked what I saw in the trials. You've seen a lot of him, week-in, week-out. What's your view? Is he ready? The potential long-term solution at six?"
"OK Coryn, now the argument has changed from a JR to BA comparison to an adaptation from season beginning.
So I imagine any implication that JR is not getting critiqued for same stuff BA was critiqued for evaporates with the change in argument. I…"

Gee that's nice rhetoric FB but really changing the coach would be akin to rearranging the deckchairs. The coach is good enough, the players are not.....changing the equation via the players is a long and winding road.....pity we can't wait long enough.
All JR is doing is simplifying the game per what he has to use that's all it is.
But fans were down right filthy on the last coach for having a team play this way but yet it was a winning style.The bottom line here in the nrl well in any contact sport really for the most part these games are won in the middle of the park.
My comments are based around this and fans understanding of how you win these games.Throwing the ball round and making it look attractive or smash and bash your way with high completions simplifying your game sweating a teams mistakes and then strike when your in position.
Anyone can see the last month of football that's exactly what we are doing and we'll continue to do that with the ball.
The defense on the other hand we are giving up 35 or something silly a game.I don't know what the fix is there or if there is one because from what I've seen teams are coming after us in the middle of the park and are having a lot of success doing so.
Again, Coryn, can you point to evidence of this "same style". It can't just be "similar results", as there are as many ways to lose as to win.
You're 3rd paragraph is hard to understand. Are you saying the style is throw it around or that the style is smash and bash?
Neother is well supported by the stats. The big Eels offloaders are the wingers Kelly and Simmonson. Paulo is like 77th now (used to be Top 20). The Eels rank poorly for linebreaks and support runners. So, really, throw it around? The Eels also rank lowely for total metres and post-contact metres. BA had a promote ball via offload strategy by JR has short passes?
In defense we are not seeing BA-era constantly beaten on outside defensive lapses. It's behind the ruck and the half/backrower channel.
Still don't see evidence presented of "same style". They can suck for different reasons!
Not going to lie you have said a whole lot of nothing. You keep making claims without backing it up with any evidence. On three separate occasions you have said the same thing using different words instead of providing evidence
You really are pushing this hard. This you Jake?
