The forwards did a reasonable job last night, but once you get past Moses and Dylbro , we have the slowest backs in the comp by a fair way. That should be the priority for Ryles, normally you can find forwards who can tackle, we seem lost finding backs who have real .speed.

I don’t mind Gutherson but it’s obvious Hooper with Isaac Moses’ request has begun the bullshit about Saints being interested.

There is no chance we are going to fall for that shit this time. Gutherson will have his last year next year and then be reunited with his mentor in England. Nothing surer.
Sam Ayoub is Gutho's manager

Reckon Hooper is making up shit! They just paid fullback money for Holmes.

we should look at Sloan now as you have mentioned

Gus and Gallen ripped into us deep in the post match segment. Gallen’s points were meh… a lot of players have options contracts and it’s all about the players at the Eels and not the club.

Gus said Ryles has a massive job ahead of him and trying to buy a whole new squad won’t work. Said Parra are always looking for the quick fix instead of development.

Slater said Ryles might just be the man to turn it all around and get players wanting to play for Parra.

Nothing ground breaking but there you have it.
It does give you an insight into what other clubs think about ours. And why we are cannon fodder when it matters most.

No speed Delboy, lack any defensive smarts and are error prone. Penisini missed 5 tackles and made 5 errors I think, while Judas II can’t read a defensive play to save his life.

His mentor will be in Perth in 2026.
