He needs to turn it around ASAP.

He has been declining for 2 years now.

How long do we persist with a centre playing RMC type footy.

He cant catch, pass or tackle with any consistency atm

He hasn't been coached by anyone bad Bradley Arthur, esquire, really.

I'd say he would need a season to adjust to a different coach.

But I don't think he's a centre any more.

Beach, in his first public address since succeeding previous chairman Sean McElduff, added: “This is a really important topic. There are three additional points I’d like to make more broadly in relation to player options.

“The first point is we haven’t entered into a player contract that has an option for about two years; May 2023 was the last time we entered into a contract with a player option.
“Point two, since that time we’ve signed or retained 22 to 24 players since [then] without issuing player options.
“Thirdly, we will not be issuing player options going forward.”
The last comment was met with a round of applause from the Eels faithful.

And what a squad we’ve assembled since May 2023 ffs

The Dylan Walker signing reaffirms my belief in Ryles, not that it’s wavered one bit. Were four games into a four year tenure. But Walker is the exact kind of signing we need as a team. A veteran that provides a bit of creativity around the ruck. For mine, it’s going to be a very astute signing.

Completely agree.

Walker is a very good player, and he has a lot of experience - exactly what we are missing.

Like you, the fact that Ryles reached out to Walker just reaffirms to me that Ryles is the right man for the job.

But what an enormous task he has ahead of him...

Well me did make a GF, unless you are Melbun or the Goosters sliding happens. But yeah it’s just PO’s lol.
Yeah we made a grand final after four years in the top eight. Something our club hadn’t achieved in 20 years. Just a coincidence that we had a bunch of POs at the time? And an even bigger coincidence that we stopped the POs and now can’t fit a decent team under the cap? You were the loudest voice demanding hEaDs MuSt RoLl but now “sliding happens” lol. You can’t help bad luck ffs

Pretty simplistic view to take from a so called Analist genius.

Yes it’s just a coincidence.
