Rumours and Stuff

I’d be surprised if the Tigers let him go mid season.

Hold that thought

I’m honestly that off Gus and Dogs it’s not funny. Genuine question as I have softened slightly on my Rheed sssnce.

Having him start and swap with Smith could be a big step up. Assuming we don’t have a crack at the Tigers kid. Would anyone take him at the $650k for a 2 year deal? I’m not suggesting we block our pathways but the sell to him is he gets to stay in Sydney with his lovely GF and not even move.

Yes he’s been a villain but he’s not the first to be sold a dream by Gus and he won’t be the last.

He has a tendency to throw a penalty but maybe Ryles can work on that with a goal of a QLD berth their joint project?

He gives great service, defensively is very strong and plays aggressive, UP tempo footy which is us.

Thoughts?

Gus was carrying on adamant they pick Adam Reynolds if Cleary is ruled out for game 3.

Guess who the Dogs play next week before game 3.

Yep the Broncos.

Not hard to figure out why Gus would be pushing the Reynolds angle.

Well he’s got to be gone by Monday. Surely that’s a bridge too fast. Unless he’s been bullied too?

 

[LyonHeart]

Why would he come back to the Tigers to play reggies behind Latu & Luai when he can first grade at Souffs?

because he's on $600k per season and no one is going to pay that kind of $$ for him

Isnt that an explanation of why he would come back to the Tigers?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

not if Ryles doesn't like the way they play, it would actually make it worse if they are similar

he's made it clear he is after another no 9

Mahoney is a much smarter dummy half than Smith. I read somewhere that Ryles wants an ‘eyes up’ hooker, which might include Mahoney. He’s just not very quick.

Both are slow and lack a decent running game. Desilva from the Tigers would fix that

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He doesn’t seem like the type to thrive in Sydney

Agreed but he doesn’t seem like the type who would be that self aware.

Ryley Smith is pretty quick. But Da Silva has it all.

Whens the last time we beaten out 3 other clubs to sign a spine player

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Possibly last time we re-signed Moses or Drown

It sure is, but you asked why would he come back to the Tigers when he can play 1st grade at Souths

 

[lucablight]

Incumbency is a huge advantage

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Only if the player is happy.

 

[Delboy]

Again, you choose to play games, the original post was about signing a player from another club in competition, carry on (sigh)

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We are also in competition when trying to retain our players. Or do you think they only leave when we don’t want them?

yeah, nah

i'm just thinking outside the square here, what if Ryles plays for the next 2 weeks Dylan brown at dummy half?
he can tackle, he is fast & might be a better option than lussick. play hawkins at 6 & play Joash Papalli in the centres for Penisini

when Smith returns then move D Brown to centre with Simmonson

This is not happening.
