Rumours and Stuff

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

40% of the tenure finished 11th best defensive team or lower...pretty putrid but facts do help validate how poor overall the defensive record was.
Only 10% top 2 and 30% top 4 where you need to be to challenge for a title.
He needed to go and the less we're reminded of him the better.
His saltiness has now festered to playing personnel.
A real blight on the club...
Good riddance....fraud

Mate, I think you are being quite over the top about the bloke. I understand the frustration. The guy is not a fraud.

I know it’s probably too early, and maybe there is some gardening leave stopping this.

But if I’m a successful club, I’d be reaching out to a Matty Johns to organise a very fluffy, very coach friendly interview they could use to settle the fans. I can tell you as a fan I can’t remember feeling more deflated and I feel like I really need some positivity.

It would be a really smart move by the club to get his brand, his influence and his personality out there.

Ryles won't be talking until our last game is finished for this year is my tip.

If they’re so bad why do the Storm have them?

The Storm have 2 with Grant and wishart. We have 5 with talagi, Moses, brown, penisini, matterson.

Most teams have none with a hand full having 1 or 2. Have look for yourself https://signings-tracker.nrl.com/

Parramatta are leading the way with these options

new sponsor could pay players in weatherboards or some other building products they could resell on marketplace

Each to their own. I think he is and have had that opinion before he got us to the GF. I also know people who have dealt with him over the years ( either coached by or against) and what they have told me is spot on...
No surprises at all and unfortunately the axing was well overdue

So what exactly do you mean by 'a fraud'?

 

[Pazza]

He will start negotiating an extension (or jump ship) months before the PO expires.

Also think about this, by Nov 1 2024 brown, penisini and matterson haven't played a single game under Ryles. Their POs allow them to round 10 the following year to make a decision.

Do you think they'd be In a rush???

Lomax

Well I suppose that's almost a sentence...

you always want to be late to an auction

Tbh, they could have told him he'd play prop, and he'd have signed there.

He's much more likely to win a Premiership at Penrith over the next 3 years, than at Parramatta.

He is 19 years old and from a working class family trying to survive in Sydney. I reckon he didn’t give a f**k about premierships. He has his entire career to worry about that. This decision was about money, and Luai has left a big hole in their salary cap. Whatever cap space we had for 2025 will have been mostly filled by Lomax.

I was thinking POs were “penis ointments” but I now see it is “player options”.
They both stink.

I thought I saw it reported he signed for less than the latest Eels offer?

 

[T-Boon]

I think he most likely just wants a chance to develop into a top notch player. There is a good chance of that in penrith ,close to zero with Parra.

I think they just like laying the boot into today's clusterf**k. Fair enough.

That and the fact that we have the stupidest fans on the planet (with the possible exception of those in Philadelphia), and they know that and that it attracts attention.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Im pretty sure I read he will be top30 next year. Knights have big wrap on him. 6'5 and 106kgs at 18 years old.

At this rate he will be 12'10" by the time he is 36!

 

[Incorrect]

At this rate he will be 12'10" by the time he is 36!

Watch us sign him when he's 27 years old, 9 foot 7 and a half and then he'll stop growing FFS.... Can't help bad luck....

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

Ah, another ‘fan’ motivated by politics. I see you.

Wayyyyy off.......

It's the politics that turned me off. The club was not perfect but humming along nicely before all the political bullshit took place and we've become a basket case.
