2025 R1 Sun - Melbourne 56-18 Parramatta @ AAMI

[The Silverdale Phantom]

I predict Jason Ryles will be to Paramatta what Matt Elliot was for us: A complete disaster.

He cleaned the joint out, but hasn’t found the replacements…

They had a much better second half, so he got through to them somehow.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

I’m off to the presser… hear the excuses. Always good comedy.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Suspend Ryles

Haven’t got my like button.

The pack is the issue. Always said letting RCG go was his first failure (and early).

Backline is good, Brown is the tall poppy ATM but he and Moses are a top halves pair. Smith looks like a prospect but we need a hooker and a pack

Probably right.

I’ve seen your halves rated 3rd in the comp. If Newcastle want to tie their prospects to two or three players it’s risky.

Ryles half time speech must have been one for the ages, because he definitely got through.

But you’d prefer to having him getting through before showtime I suppose.

The purple pin dicks put the cue in the rack majorly. 46-6 first half is much more indicative than 18-10 second.

We'll probably improve a bit through the season but that's hardly a wrap... unless Moses comes back we don't have a dominant half and if derpy Ryles doesn't find a defensive structure, any f**king defensive structure, it could easily be spoon territory again with a squad that definitely shouldn't be that low, pack issues or not.

See you at spoonbowl!

Putting Brown’s ability (or lack there of depending on who you talk to) to the side, this is exactly what the team that just absolutely destroyed the Eels do. If you are going to spend big $$$, you want to do it in the spine.

I think the purple puppets have got wads of non-spine talent sloshing around in the keg. Oozing away, fermenting, winning!

Brown is absolutely a high quality six...the issues is he's a classic running five-eighth. He's got a gun running game, he creates around him on the edges with that and his short passing and kicking game but he is not a halfback. He doesn't really have organisational skills or a long kicking game. He's worth what we're paying him and not a lot more.

TBH part of the problem without Moses is he tries to organise. He'd be better just doing his thing.

A significant amount of the Storm roster is on close to minimum wage. They’re able to perform above their pay grade though due to the spine and Bellamy.

Well I still think it’s risky, injuries and things.

If we are on knights business, Ponga looks back to his scintillating form.

 

[moffla]

I’m really annoyed that we take this early form into a bye next week

Even the bye is freaking out at the moment. Therapy sessions to help them face you next weekend.

One good thing about Ryles he ain’t a cry baby like Benji

he takes responsibility

If he really meant to take responsibility he should have tendered his resignation at half time.

And nice try muppet, but I’m not a Benji man.

I want BA lol, I guess you want him back too.

It’s round one

Way too early to be saying teams will finish bottom
Melb thumped the dragons at rhe mcg in 2000? After choc said everyone knew who the real grand finalists should’ve been

Twas a great game to be at.. Mundane got the loudest boos when he got the ball and the loudest cheers when he made a mistake .

 

[Belza1]

Eels to win this half lol

Storm rested Hughes and Grant the last 20 minutes of the game. 37 degrees in Melbourne yesterday.
