So what am I missing here, why do they say we have the second hardest draw compared to everyone else?

Heaps better to have six coaches and win even fewer games in the same amount of time ffs
Twist and deflect the facts to win an argument.

I never said the 10 years previous were any better either dickhead.

Just because 6 coaches got sacked doesn't mean BA should have been kept for 11 years.

If I was on here in 2010 I would have been calling for a royal commission over the treatment of Daniel Anderson.

All the years before 2019 don't count because the club was unstable. Any coach would've failed. In fact, plenty did. After we got a new board, Arthur got us into the grand final. Then the salary cap ripped our team apart and we declined for two years.

Is this some type of Trump-like experiment... where you're testing whether if you just repeat a certain narrative ad nauseum at every opportunity, that you might eventually end up convincing someone other than yourself? 😂

I think i have nearly had a stroke reading this.

The years before 2019 all of a sudden don't count.

Can you inform me who i should contact for wasting my time and money for season tickets and memberships pre-2019.

Steve Sharp is still unavailable for comment

Roy Spagnolo should be the pig on the spit.

Anyone else you recommend to send the bill towards.

I want my money back ffs

The 2014 roster was good enough to make the finals. The 2017 team made the top 4.

Jesus Christ this is just rinse repeat shit.

Defense is an attitude.
Ryles will find it hard first year in the top job
No change for Parramatta.

Safe, easy repeatable. No real insight here.

Even if this is still true, I don’t think it’s something you can change just by telling merkins to try harder. The best defensive teams have the best individual defenders and workers. Even if they have the best defensive attitude, it’s more likely inherent to the player than something they were taught in the preseason.

Sigh. It's called a coach (and specialist assistant coaches) tweaking a system or styles of defence and instructing and practising those tweaks before the season starts.

As opposed to just leaving it up individual merkins to try their best in round one, like a troll would suggest....

Coaching includes teaching merkins different ways to read in defence than they previously could, and practising that so they can get (even) better than they are. Moses got better in defence in recent years - he didn't do that just purely within himself, did he? And if so, why didn't he (they) just get better by themselves earlier ffs.

Every club has a coaching staff and coaches defence.

Young players improve their defence with experience and maturity. In fact poor defence is usually the thing that prevents talented youngsters from becoming regular first graders, even when their attack is more than ready.
