    Has played one full season out of the past four. Admittedly, he is younger than Hodgson but it seems like a similar scenario given the ACL issues.

    You would think the club would have learnt after the last often injured hooker they purchased.....

    Rumours and Stuff

    Tom is offering to take a pay cut on an already signed deal so that Manly, who have clearly overspent on their investment, can channel that money into strengthening their roster as they can't do it because of the stupid money they have paid their top players (Include DCE and Jake). If you...

    I have been working for 35 plus years now and I have learnt a few things in that time. particularly when a person or persons leave on not so amicable a footing and that is there are three sides to a story. Theirs, yours and the truth and very rarely is anyone not the hero in their own story.

    I have read the transcript and there was no mention of a falling out between BA and Cameron. Mannah did say though it was a mistake that Cameron was let go. I don't disagree with that. I think there are a lot of people that are just happy to blame the failings on one bloke rather than the...

    Cameron was appointed as the CEO at Penrith in 2022 - before Barrett even got the sack from Canterbury. We are drawing some pretty pictures to point the finger at BA for not accepting Cameron back into the fold. It was certainly a mistake for him to be let go initially but he had been involved...

    "Certain people" or Brad? Given some of the "certain people" we have had involved at the club during those times it makes for a large and interesting list given the vested interest so many had.

    Hard to fall out with someone when you weren't at the club - Matt left midway through 2012 while Kearney was coach and before Arthur was made interim coach - He was Under 20's coach at Penrith in 2013 & 2014 before moving to the Tigers and then back to Penrith.

    Jason Ryles - Head coach of Parramatta from 2025

    He was coach in 2017 & 2018 until we let him go the first time. His two years at the Warriors weren't that much better.

    Jason Ryles - Head coach of Parramatta from 2025

    It is his fourth year as coach and regardless of structures etc he still hasn't shown anything that suggests he is very good at it.

    Jason Ryles - Head coach of Parramatta from 2025

    I couldn't give two shits about his captaincy really. I don't think he is a very good coach. https://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/coaches/nathan-cayless/summary.html His record is average at best.

    The back five are where the Panthers excel. They do all the heavy lifting out of their half, giving them good field position and leaving their forwards fresh in defence and in the attacking areas of the field. They are also very fit in that regard as they are then on hand to finish. It works...

    Jason Ryles - Head coach of Parramatta from 2025

    As I said, each to their own. He lead by example and as a captain I don't think that he or Hindmarsh were very vocal when they needed to be. Dymock and Dean Pay were far better leaders. Regardless of that fact, I still don't understand how he holds his role as a coach....

    Jason Ryles - Head coach of Parramatta from 2025

    I would put his captaincy alongside his coaching as both mediocre but each to their own.

    Jason Ryles - Head coach of Parramatta from 2025

    Unsure how Cayless manages to keep his role? Sure, ex-club captain and such but he isn't a coaches left nut..... Have to be much better options available around the place surely. Even the inanimate carbon rod would be an upgrade.

    I would think there is only one of them running the club and the other two are looking to him for direction in terms of rugby league knowledge. That in itself is the single biggest issue at the club at the moment.

    That probably should be the case however its been reasonably clear that there is a heavy lack of football knowledge within the management level in McElduff and Sarantinos and they have relied heavily on the HOF to help/direct them. You could probably argue that the HOF is almost out of his...

    Outside Kiraz or Crichton he plays very well. He has already knocked us back once though and with Skelton gone they will look to hold on to him. I feel we can find players of similar upside/ability that may come easier. Tyreece Tait would be worth looking at....
