Rumours and Stuff

[EelEtric]

It’s more Nathan Brown telling Ryles who he rates and who he doesn’t.

Or its more about a limited number of ball playing forwards in the market so keep the better ones you have and find replacements for the rest.

 

[Stevie]

Hopefully he watched our games after he left. A fairly big difference in some players over that time...

Paulo has been playing injured all year. At their fittest I still think Paulo is better than RCG.

I don’t think it’s necessarily fitness. They’re quite different players and Paulo’s skill set probably sets him apart. While on individual basis, we’d be unlikely to directly replace RCG, we can more readily replace him with one or two decent signings (Ofahengaue to a degree is already one of them). What it will do is place more onus on others in taking hitups.
Also we probably see RCG as the cheaper sell. He’d have a lot more buyers.

I assume Baz is trying to make these last 4 weeks a bit of fun during the week and not a grind to get through to the end of the season.

The hard work needs to occur in the preseason and I reckon we dropped the ball.

Which is a poor reflection on the punted coach & S&C considering out last game was on August 24 last year a Thursday night game in the 2nd last round.

We had a longer break/off-season then anyone else to prepare for the pre-season.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We have led at halftime in ten games this year, despite all the injuries. Of those ten games we lost five of them.

*rope and Carty’s bag.

Just lucky we didn’t drop the rope, or we would of f**ked.

I would say the players more than anyone. After 2022 GF, we dropped off.

As someone famous once said, to keep on top you need to train like you came second. Well we did come second, but clearly have not trained/played hungry since. The Riff and Storm know how it works.

It’s a definite leadership problem and the coach is a big part of that. It’s certainly easier to carry a coach payout than trying to move players on without f**king your cap. I’m interested to see which players we are trying to rissole now the former coach is gone.

FMD, Hooper is having a field day, he's the last bloke I want to listen to about Parramatta news. But this RCG story has been circling for a little while, even someone else brought it up before today. Its a damn shame because he's put in so much since he's come here in 2020, turned his career around and been one of the best forwards of the comp. He hasnt had his best year and understandably, but he's still playing good. I'm disappointed that he would have to leave but I'm guessing Ryles has another forward lined up.

 

[Avenger]

Yawn.

Jnr can be more dynamic and offloads. Rcg makes more yards and a better defender. This year however RCGs defense has been poor

He’s been lazy too.

 

[Eelogical]

Good luck, Blaize. Don't forget to swap your Asics for thongs on the way to Centrelink Boganfield. Just remember, you don't have to go all out to bang a local. A drive through of Krispy Kreme should be more than enough to seal the deal.

Seems like RCG tried too often for the big hit, hoping it would cause an error and lift the team.

 

[Gazzamatta]

I'd suggest if BA remained he would have advocated an extension for Reg.
Gone a year early better than a year or in Barlow's case, 3 years late.

The longer BA is gone the more I am seeing how bad BA was as a head coach.
