Jason Ryles - Head coach of Parramatta from 2025

[Poupou Escobar]

Hopgood works hard in defence and makes his tackles. He's not the attacking player he was before his injury but he is still a good defender. The only reason to get rid of him is if we're paying too much.

Get all the failed Wizardry and untried magic tricks out the way this year I say

Junior at 6 and Lussick at 7 next game I say…

Twizzle on the wing

If we land Tino, Hopgood will be surplus to requirements.

Why would Tino choose Parra ahead of all other 18 teams, and what would he likely want to even remotely consider coming here?

That's the 1.5 million dollar question

Of which he could get tax free in PNG

Correct but by the questions he is asking he Titans about plans for the future I think he wants to go to a team that can win in the next 5 years..

Doubt PNG win a competition

We're a bottom 6 side and would need to sign 3-4 quality NRL players before Tino would consider us a team that can win the title in the next 5 years.

Correct fairly sure I posted previously about Ryles needing to get on his knees and give Tino whatever he needs to get him here it's highly unlikely but we won't win a competition without a player like him.

We need players who want to play for us for the right reasons. Not because we've begged them to come.

There has to be a circuit breaker. We can’t do it with fringe first graders. Dogs did it several times and I’d argue they were in a worse situation than us.

Most players come for the money..

The rest of your post I'll ignore as Tino would want to win a competition, and that's where Ryles needs to explain to Tino and where he fits in and what the plan is for the future.

I think it's futile. Why would Ryles be able to convince him ahead of all of the other 18 teams? What is our USP?

I don't believe we would also ever be the highest bidder for Tino's services either.

We might have had a decent chance if Josh Hanney was coach??

I don't disagree, but I also don't see Tino happening...ever.

You'd have to ask Tino what would be the USP for him to choose Parra over the other 17 NRL clubs.

I'm not saying we will ever sign Tino, and I'm not disagreeing that there are probably more desirable clubs for him to go to.

But he may look at a roster that has Mitch Moses, and Zac Lomax, and want to play with these guys on a weekly basis.

Plus, we would likely offer him a big contract.

I never thought we would land a young talent like Da Silva.

You’re probably right, mate. But we live in hope.

top 3 halfback in the world
youthful spine with tonnes of talent and potential
top 3 home stadium in the country
best league training and rehab centre in the world
top 3 member base both numbers wise and engagement wise
top 3 brand awareness in nrl
opportunity to be the forward leader at the club and bring through the next gen of potential forwards

and we have plenty of cash

None of that could convince a 19 year old who supported the club all his life, is managed by the cousin of our Captain, who apparently wanted him to sign with us, and a player who was apparently keen to get out of his current club to want to come to the club.

Why would any of it entice Tino ahead of all 18 other NRL clubs?
