BA would have built nothing. A coach will little imagination or vision, only one tactic (chase the collision)
This is demonstrably untrue. Our tactics prior to 2019 were very different. That’s when we shifted from attacking the edges to going through the middle. We also moved the ball a lot more after we brought Barrett in. This is shown in our reduced completion rates in those years.
who couldn't adapt to changed circumstances and who let the juniors wither on vine unless associated with Rhinos?
Or were they they only ones who weren’t mercenaries?
Just look at what Ryles has done in a few months that BA didn't over 11 years. Fan days, proper roster management,
Ryles said this is the responsibility of the list management group. The same list management group that built a squad that was supposedly so good it would’ve won a premiership if only it didn’t have a shit coach.
And are you saying we never had any fan days in 11 years? And do you really think the coach organises this sort of thing? It’s a marketing activity ffs. The coach turns up because it’s in his contract.
restructure of juniors up to ensure success in the future even if he isn't. A person of vision who should replace MON when he retires from coaching.
I don’t think Ryles has anything to do with restructuring the juniors. His responsibility is coaching the NRL team, which is assembled by the list management group.
Don’t go thinking NRL coaches run clubs. That hasn’t been the case since the 90s. There are entire staffs running clubs now, and they all ultimately answer to the board, who approve the budget.
