What do u think will happen against the tigers?

We win....

 

[Timana]

Am I the only one that thinks Cooper Cronk is a merkin who should retire and let someone else do his job (he has made a fortune) or else start getting hated like Stefanovic or Clarke, he is a useless commentator, continues to earn a fortune for no reason (he has a voice for taking a shit) and he cheated the salary cap and was a nerd of a player who just had the luck of the gods his whole career surrounded by legends of the sport. He is my most hated league player of all time at this point. I want him to become homeless.

No, you shouldn't be listening to him

 

[The Predictor]

They are beatable as shown but we didn't play smart at all...

Cronk talking shit right now how they did the basics well tonight... They threw the ball around and we missed tackles...

We didn't put any pressure on them in defence. You smash the ranga he gives up early.

We have given the journos plenty of reasons to treat us like cannon fodder, what do we expect them to say?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

i feel so much better

Cool! That's good!

 

[JokerEel]

Seriously watching Flegg today gives me hope the forwards in the side are probably better than half of the ones running around in CUP and first grade...

[DaveMc]

Well I said Cronk talking shit how the Raiders were doing the basics right when they weren't..

Ryles will clean house. We will hve a war chest with Drown, Matto, Lane gone.

Plus Reg and Gutho...

But tell me this

What quality player is going to come here on face value rather than overs? To play under a rookie coach? A side that is bottom 4 easily

Dumb, ill-disciplined, lacking basic skills, application and attention to detail.

Things are going great.

We seriously need brown paper bags

That’s exactly the issue. Having a war chest is great when you can use it sensibly. But we’ll be looking at paying overs for anyone decent for the near future.

 

[Zoso]

Ryles is Kearney part 2.

I don’t know about that. Not yet anyway.
I’d like to see us at full strength for a few weeks running before I jump in on that.
That said, apparently we worked on basics in the off season, can’t see the evidence of that, and he thought we had some good forwards. Can’t see that either.

Can Ryles sell the dream. We will see.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Far out there is so much bitching about Ryles. Bunch of sooks! Last few years under, BA most of those whinging wanted us to blood juniors and have a clean out....Ryles starts to doing that, yet only 6 games into that, people are already complaining..,

Give him 3 years....he literally just started the process....enjoy the ride...it will be rough...additionally it would help him, if he has full strength squad, 2 of our best players are out....

 

[DaveMc]

Can Ryles sell the dream. We will see.

I really hope he can. I’m very far from confident at the moment that he can.
