Watching your missus give birth is exhausting and traumatic.

That won’t fly unless she was born in the third world, or the fifties.

Win now doesn’t mean this year, it means within three.

I disagree with your definition but even if I grant it I’d say we are just as likely to win within 3 years as Souths.

I don’t. But we could have a genuine top four roster in 2029 whereas Souths won’t be a place Bennett or any good coach will want to be at.

Saw that one (on Netflix I think ), and would have to agree...

Look at Bellamy’s comments about Lomax. He said it’s above his pay grade, and that’s just dealing with one player.

Bellamy's smart, doesn't want his name associated in any way with a losing court ruling - or an ultimately failed recruitment approach.

Thanks mate. How old is he ?

He is 15 years old.

We signed Ryles, not the other way around. The limiter on what can be done and when is resources, not ideas. Ideas are a dime a dozen, and there are no secrets in the NRL. We have a lot of cash but no avenues to funnel it to players outside the cap, so we have to ‘launder’ our money through pathways spending. That requires a patient head coach, as much as Ryles wants to win now. And of course he does; he knows he’ll be judged on results and the club will throw him under the bus after a couple of poor seasons. That’s why the head coach gets to be the face of the club, despite having limited control over what it does. Look at Bellamy’s comments about Lomax. He said it’s above his pay grade, and that’s just dealing with one player.

I think a comment from the Members Forum was along the lines of "Ryles job is to work out how we win now, Mark's (MON) job is work out how we win in the future" and yes, I am paraphrasing but that is what I took from it.

Tago. He's not part of the plan if we're fair dinkum. I'd be surprised if he gets a whiff of NRL action unless we have no other alternative.

He’s one of the last of the BA brainfart extensions.

Is there an Honour Roll?

I hate to go early on a kid but he does look an elite talent... i.e. capable of playing NRL at 18 level of talent if we look after him.

He is just physically bullying kids in Matts even though he is still 15 and everything he does just has class about it.

One area we still look light on is junior OB's coming through... plenty of halves and middles. I think even at his age he HAS to be a priority.

Better than Simrani ? Joking. SeuSeu just watched a couple of games. Kids got it. It will be a quick transition to to first grade for him.

I hope 8:18 wasn't the time his phone was due to run out of charge...
