Has Ryles spoken to any of the players yet.....looks like he's playing Brian Smith head games ATM....
What head games is he playing?
The announcement when he was appointed was that he would be working in the background only, preparing his coaching staff, etc. until 1st November and not have anything to do with the current squad until then.
I reckon he has or will have any discussion needed regarding retention, etc with players whose contract doesn't carry into next year, but that list is pretty light and conversations with them are unlikely to make the press. It includes
Blaze, Simmonson, Makatoa, Asi, Harper, Cini, Ogden and maybe Brazel.
