It's possible, but an outsider like me wouldn't know that.
Jason Ryles would be a pretty good get, our players could be as reckless as they want and the judiciary would just suspend Ryles in their stead.John Morris. Madge Maguire, Ben Hornby, Jason Ryles.

When you use proper spelling I could deadset give you the traditional 3 kiss greeting.
There are numerous examples of teams that have changed coaches with similar or even greater success than us in recent years (BAs decade)and haven’t dropped to the Tigers / Dogs level of shite:I have not changed my vote from 'yes' as of yet.
I am not opposed to changing the coach. I haven't been for the last couple of years. My only issue is that BA has done a decent job with the Eels in his time here. Not fantastic, but then not completely awful either. He has won more than half his games whilst in charge of the team (71 wins, 43 losses over the last 5 years which is more than decent).
If we went with a change, then so be it. I will hope for the best and will cross my fingers it will be the catalyst for our charge to a 5th (and hopefully more) premiership.
My biggest oncern is that we have a lot to lose if we make the wrong decision. We aren't the Tigers, Bulldogs, Titans or Warriors (in previous years) who have been stuck down towards the bottom for years and need to do something to drag themselves up higher. We have been in a good position the last half a decade, even including this season where we were still a chance to play Finals until a couple of weeks from the end of the season.
We have a long way to fall. I afraid that it might happen. I don't want to go back to the days of 2011-2013 when we only won 5-6 games a year. I don't want to become like the Tigers only winning 3 games a year.
I know we need to improve, but I guess I'm just not much of a risk taker.
Did they win premierships because they changed coaches or are they able to attract premiership calibre coaches because of the resources they have in place?In fact in the last 10 years, 3 of those teams won premierships
We seem like a risk averse and reactive club in general atm that lacks a ruthless edge.I reckon the Board have had and are continuing to have similar discussions and there are risk averse people on there like in every organisation.
We have resources you dumb f**k.....seriously you make it out like the club is on the brink of financial ruin....Did they win premierships because they changed coaches or are they able to attract premiership calibre coaches because of the resources they have in place?
If anyone knows the answer to this I’d be interested to hear? And if it hasn’t happened in rugby league, how often has it occurred in any professional sport?. When was the last time a coach won a comp with a club after having no success with that club for 10 years?

He didn’t win the superbowl did he? I’m talking about a guy who was there for 10 years and then won.Andy Reid at Phili Eagles
1999 - 2012
Bengals never won the Super Bowl either.Marvin Lewis Bengals 15yrs

Bengals never won the Super Bowl either.
Sharks, Roosters, the Storm and of course the Panthers have all won a comp by slowing down the play the ball in the ruck. Super coach teaches the opposite no wonder our defence has sucked under him for a decade.We seem like a risk averse and reactive club in general atm that lacks a ruthless edge.
We don't take too many risks in the player market these days.
When other teams mock us like the storm or panthers we seem to cop it on the chin without standing up for ourselves in fear of hurting anyone.
We rarely take a charge to the judiciary and when we do it's probably the wrong one.
BA has us playing a style in defence to not slow the play the ball down & push the refs that the great teams do.
Ricky and BA are on the same timeline.If anyone knows the answer to this I’d be interested to hear? And if it hasn’t happened in rugby league, how often has it occurred in any professional sport?
yeah, the days with Fawcett and Scotty Mahon and Crnkovich.I have not changed my vote from 'yes' as of yet.
