Hughes was always the better of the two. He had much better mobility.Was Hollis seen as good? He appears to have disappeared.
Hollis is the plodder.

Leeds under BA - L,W,L,W,LYou make logical sense but you forget the overriding principle - protect and justify BA at all costs.
They just played two better teams for a win and a loss. They’re doing fine. But he can’t come out and say the opposition were just better. He needs to focus on what they can control, things like effort areas and attention to detail.Leeds under BA - L,W,L,W,L
Sounds familiar like the Jekyll and Hyde shit we produced for 11 years.
His 2 min presser this morning he mentioned.
Happy with effort getting beat 24-6, we brought physicality, played better then last week when we won.
We got detail things wrong under fatigue.
Sounds like the same dribble being spewed out just in another hemisphere.
Look at their forwards from yesterday, it's not that they are the fittest, it's that they only had 2 forwards that were 110 kg plus (we had 5 or so on Friday), and one was an edge, so he gets to rest. Most of their pack are around 100 kg, it's light, no wonder they are fitter...more mobile
BTW it's good coaching / planning by Gus/cc to get that pack
Storm’s pack is bigger, which shows there’s more than one way to play the game.
f**king please. A handful of fringe Origin players against the star studded lineups of Easts, Melbourne and Penrith.Keep towing that BA line - it’s noble work!
I think that Ciraldo wins a comp if he has the squad BA had between 2019-2022
Which explains the dogs situation now - and in a relative year one (similar to our 2019) he already has a stronger defensive structure and an aggressive recruitment and development process which is setting the team up for a proper tilt in the next three years…unlike our 2022 grand final appearance which you yourself have characterised as mission impossible and a complete mismatch (an attitude which is extremely telling of ba supporters)f**king please.

It’s like our 2016 when our defence was also very good. Gould has been building that squad since 2021, so this is year three.Which explains the dogs situation now - and in a relative year one (similar to our 2019) he already has a stronger defensive structure and an aggressive recruitment and development process which is setting the team up for a proper tilt in the next three years…unlike our 2022 grand final appearance which you yourself have characterised as mission impossible and a complete mismatch (an attitude which is extremely telling of ba supporters)
Possibly.It’s like our 2016 when our defence was also very good.
I’ll address your editIt’s like our 2016 when our defence was also very good. Gould has been building that squad since 2021, so this is year three.
Beau Scott arrival helped stiffen our defence up that season.It’s like our 2016 when our defence was also very good.
Well at this stage Brad Arthur has achieved more and has a better win rate than Ciraldo, so 2024 is just a flash in the pan and you have succumbed to recency bias.Possibly.
But we had the bush coach to follow through and they have a real up and coming coach.
You can keep pushing the BA barrow all you like and I’m sure you will get months of masturbatory joy out of the resultant arguments, but the rest of us are hopeful of a new attitude and a better approach that achieves sustainable success and a team that can win a grand final, rather than enter it with the attitude that the other team are just too good.
Barrett's NRL record is horrific. Gould would've known he wasn't the coach he wanted.I’ll address your edit
Gould brought in a coach capable of great things when he realised Baz couldn’t do it.
Arthur could win a comp with the right squad, same as Stuart, Hagan, Maguire, Flanagan and Green. If you make a grand final you can win one. There's no special magic that applies to grand finals that doesn't apply to other elimination finals.we failed to sack BA after 2018 and we ended up with a coach who couldn’t nail a comp with a more than capable squad - where I think others would have.

Most of those years the squad wasn't premiership quality though. Cleary won nothing in his first 14 years. Eventually his luck came up and he landed at a rich club with great junior recruitment/retention.He had 11 years you dribbler.
Must've spent the budget in Townsville the week beforeThe imbecile didn't even book a bus.
Think man, THINK
You always conveniently compare BA with premiership winning coaches. Perhaps you should compare him to his peers like Matt Elliott and Adam O’Brien.Most of those years the squad wasn't premiership quality though. Cleary won nothing in his first 14 years.

Truth! We held on to the choker.I’ll address your edit
