Swapping Ross and Kimmorley for Ryles is almost like a dream come true. Not the fact we're recruiting Ryles, but the fact we're looking to boot two overpaid, underperforming ballerinas.
Ryles has got the skill to regain his status as a top class prop and if he can hit his straps again watch out. I don't know if i'd fork out $400k for him though but thats the price we're gonna have to compete to keep current and ex internationals in our game and not SL. But in saying that I'd definately cut Ross for him. Ross has spent more time on the sidelines than playing whilst he's been at the Shire and he's been nothing but drama.
Seeing we've signed Tupou we now have alot of high profile players that give away alot of unwarranted penalties. Ryles is the same. Gallen, Bird, Tupou and Ryles are known to give atleast 1 - 2 penalties away a game. Hopefully thats something Sticky can put an end to.
The fact that Zappia and Sticky aren't oblivious to the fact Noddy and Ross are more harm to us than good is what turns me on the most. I reckon it won't be long till we see Seymour and Bird in the halves. We still need a quality centre for '09 in my opinion
