    AFB

    Dykes is giving me Kyle Stanley vibes in terms of injuries and a run of poor luck.

    Rumours and Stuff

    Why I’m liking Ryles’s signings so far. Sure another untested player, but if Iongi is a bust after all we have Joash Papalii to throw in. Now we just need a new hooker and I’ll be confident that we can make an impact in 2025.

    Sullivan

    His best chance is a super league contract - tear it up over there for a year or two and come back with a proven track record for another chance ala Jackson Hastings

    Latest IMG proposals for Super League

    I reckon York has a better chance than Bradford and London imo. I definitely agree London should be in Super League, but Toulouse and York would also do wonders for expanding the reach of the league.

    No doubt - this is the same league that Abbas Miski was able to score 29 tries in a season.

    WA BEARS

    Did Dolphins pay a license fee? If so, strange that the WA bid team thought they could get away with $0

    Rumours and Stuff

    Makes sense. I got the impression that the Wilson signing was only going to happen if we managed to offload Sivo, who for better or worse I'm pretty certain we'll be seeing another season of.

    Jason Ryles - Head coach of Parramatta from 2025

    You make your own luck, and the best managed teams always come out on top. Roosters are playing in a preliminary final on the weekend and their squad has been ravaged by injury and suspension all season. For example (and topical given Walters resignation/sacking tonight) Broncos weren’t...

    2024 FW2 Fri - Cronulla 26-18 North Qld @ Allianz

    There was plenty on Grand Final Day in 2016.

    Jason Ryles - Head coach of Parramatta from 2025

    The last point is odd. Not all well-resourced clubs will have assistant coaches that "are in demand as head coaches". Out of the top two teams this season only Ryles fits that bill and well... [Penrith - Ben Gardiner and Peter Wallace; Storm - Ryan Hinchcliffe, Mark Brentnall and Aaron Bellamy...

    2024 FW1 Sun - Canterbury 22-24 Manly @ Accor

    Mahoney’s regression since 2022 has been quite the thing to watch. It’s like he now thinks showboating and niggling is all he has to do.

    Pacific Championships 2024

    James Storer played for Fiji in the 2017 World Cup. He was 35 years old and the captain coach of Port Kembla in Group 7 at the time. His last NRL game was for Souths in 2003.

    I assume he’s not even on a top 30 contract. The question is whether he’ll be upgraded as a gap filler or just remain on a NSW cup contract.

    Super League 2024 discussion

    Race for the last few finals spots will be great to watch. It’s going to be an exciting final series to watch this year.

    Jason Ryles - Head coach of Parramatta from 2025

    I’ll give Ryles the benefit of the doubt Re:Cayless - I assume he interviewed well/bought into Ryles’s vision. On Cayless’s leadership - don’t forget he captained NZ to the World Cup upset victory in 2008.

    Rumours and Stuff

    It'll be cap management, since they have AFB coming and they decided to throw money at BHU so he'd stay (which I have a feeling they may eventually rue as a mistake). Plus they still have Toby Rudolf and Royce Hunt on their books as well. Sharks have a stacked forwarded pack, together with their...

    Rumours and Stuff

    That’s a bit of revisionism. They peaked in 1998/99 because of their strong recruitment picking over the carcasses of teams their News Limited masters killed after the end of Super League/creation of the NRL. 2000 (title defence year) they scraped into the top 8. 2001 and 2002 they were pretty...

    TLT Rnd 25 vs Broncos Friday 23/8 8pm

    Jeez our bench is uninspiring

    Yeah sounds like he’ll be off to the Dragons - 2 year deal.
