Eels in the media

He wasn't talking about BA, he was talking about Ryles and Brown.

Yes... if you're just a simple person. But for the rest of us, in talking about Ryles and Brown - and making the comparison to anything he's had or experienced previously - Moses' intent and/or opinion become obvious.

The ringing endorsement of BA is Moses' growth since we signed him from the Tigers. Why would Moses talk about that when he has a new coach?

Yeah... nah. And coaches don't matter (according to you) anyway.

As usual, some only hear what that they want....yes Moses made positive comments about Ryles. But what some fail to mention in the same podcast, he also talks about (this is a summary), that at the tigers he didn't understand the half back role, it wasn't until he came to the eels that he learnt how to play 7. And BA taught him a lot about the role.

There is no "grey" on LU mate.
Only black and white options to suit the posters narrative.

It's true. Any praise for the current coach must be a criticism of the previous one. Any praise for the previous coach must be a criticism of the one before him, etc.

Well, that's because...

Exactly. As usual, some only hear what they want...

 

[Gazzamatta]

Yeah and when Johns came on board Moses said it was the first time he's been coached in halfback play. Moey has had a few firsts.

Teaching halfback play isn't the coaches job ffs!!

Why would he credit the head coach? Skills are taught by the assistant coaches.

We had a really good shot’: Galvin personally called Eels coach to break bad news


Lachlan Galvin personally phoned Parramatta coach Jason Ryles to break the news he would be passing on their lucrative three-year offer to join Canterbury instead.
As Galvin completed a field session with the bulk of the Bulldogs’ NRL squad on Saturday, including Toby Sexton – the halfback now under the most pressure to keep his spot because of Galvin’s arrival – Ryles suggested the Dogs’ ladder position may have helped with his final decision.

The Eels are now stuck for a five-eighth, with Dylan Brown leaving at the end of the year to take up his mega-deal at Newcastle. The Roosters’ Sandon Smith and Melbourne’s Jonah Pezet are two No.6 targets that have already been floated, but Ryles, who has worked with both, said the club would wait and “see what the market does over the next few months”.

For me, it’s pretty simple,” Ryles said. “There was a player available, it was Lachie, we were interested, we put our best foot forward, and he chose to go to another club.
“That club happens to be coming first at the moment, so I completely understand it.

We had a really good shot at it. When we sat down with Lachie, it was a really good conversation. We spent a fair bit of time with him and his dad [James].
“I really appreciated the fact he did call and let us know what was happening. It’s disappointing, but it is what it is.”
Pressed on his thoughts about the Dogs being ladder leaders – and if that swayed Galvin – Ryles, whose team could finish the weekend in the bottom two on the ladder if they lose, said: “You’d have to ask Lachie that. He gave us a really good opportunity to sit down, we put forward what we had to offer, and where we thought he’d fit. We move on from it [now].

We’ll take our time. Everyone expects us to make a knee-jerk reaction, which we definitely won’t.”

‘We had a really good shot’: Galvin personally called Eels coach to break bad news

Parramatta coach Jason Ryles confirmed Lachie Galvin called to inform him he would join rivals Canterbury, and conceded the Eels’ lowly ladder position may have influenced his decision.

Ryles sounds a very sensible guy.

Still think we dodged a bullet with Galvin, as a(nother) high-paid Isaac Moses client in our spine.

Well that’s damning on Trolly Guy and MON. </sarcasm>

Agreed. Wherever we land I'm confident that we'll have a better option than Brown.

I loved the comment about not rushing in as much as the media are pushing it. The last time when Rheed moved on BA chose Hodgson in 10 minutes and we know how that worked out.
Bravo Rylesy.

Irony is when he was a player he was the complete opposite.

He was the last player i would have thought from that era that would become a decent coach

Could say there’s a new sheriff in charge, if the dynamic duo was there for it all, could have been a different story. Recruitment needs a stronger voice, maybe that’s now the case.

It was November and Hodgson was plan B. It wasn't a knee jerk signing, it was the time of year when options are available and clubs are making their signings. Lussick was the rushed signing after Hodgson got injured.
