Does this mean BA extends at Rouse Hill, sorry at Leeds Rhinos?

Ryles was going to play Papalii in dummy half until Penisini got knocked out.

He must trust his defence if he was prepared to defend him in the middle.

And yes its easier to be isolated on an edge then in the middle.

But Ryles must have faith if he is prepared to play him there

I'm sure we'd go better with Flanagan at 6 than Papalii. I just don't think St George would let him go.
So for some reason you believe it would be good business and sensible to sign a player that was on decent money at Sharks, Roosters and Dogs and was let go early due to his inability to be as good as needed.

Most of us would try hard, but that’s not enough to take a player like that on board. We have tried moneyball signings since the GF, and it hasn’t worked. Either sign players from the rep level or bring your own juniors through. As usual you post for the sake of it , not to make sense which is a shame as sometimes you have a decent idea.

I think he was moved on because he was overpaid. If he was no good he wouldn't still be playing.

We made those types of signings in the years leading up to the grand final and it did work.

We've been doing that. But an NRL team doesn't just need Origin class players, it also needs (many) solid first graders. It's fine bringing them through if you have them coming through, but if you don't have them (or if they're not ready yet) you have to go to market.

As usual you make a personal attack. Blocked and reported.

Like Leeds or Perth? Fans pushing a nepotism narrative are the only ones linking him to Newcastle or Manly.


I am linking him to both those clubs as the current coaches suck balls..

JA is off contract at the end of this season at Manly I don't think they will resign him. The Flegg kids at Manly look good enough to be decent backups.

MA I think won't get Infront of Crossland either.
Bad move by him probably would have been playing NRL at the Eels..

I'm not sure exactly but he's not big at all and still growing.

he will be a stocky solid 6 and size may well be an issue but he's the best 6 to come out of our pathways since Brown I'm almost certain of it.
That Sandon Smith merkin is a jockey anyway.
