I know people have been quick to take the piss out of Russell. Its pretty average when our own fans pump him when realistically the PM's squad is exactly about giving blokes a go that will arguably not ever be in that arena and for that I say I hope he relishes every last minute! A career highlight no doubt.

Russell will not make our top 17 at full strength next year. He shouldn’t be playing in any rep team

this was the PM13 last season. Yes it’s about people one level below national rep, or national rep players who haven’t played in a while getting some runs in their legs, but this year it’s like everyone is on holidays so they’ve had to pick the scraps IMG_6646.jpeg

That’s a pretty good offer for a poorly resourced little tinpot western Sydney club…

I think we can safely infer from this article that the resources are there for both on and off field staff but have been administered less than optimally in recent times.

let’s hope that this is now changing - I certainly feel that better, more proactive decisions are being made

Yet we have poison wankers like Spags wanting to come in and blow the joint up again.

I think now that Ryles is coming in and knows what a successful club looks like.

We may have better chance of moving forward.

I just don't think we had anyone in the joint in the past 10-11 years has known what success looks like we have recruited a lot bums & scraps from failed clubs in off-field or coaching roles.

Example the Likes of MON, Antonelli, Barrett.

We also havent been aligned as a club from top to bottom you had BA controlling the first grade side but i don't think we saw an alignment between all grades moving in the same direction.

Same with recruitment and retention philosophies.

My gut feeling is MON wont be here in 2026 and i reckon that will be a good thing get a GM or HOF aligned with Ryles is the best way forward.

What makes you think that?
So far our recruitment for next season has been praised by most people, hasn't it? Has MON not done a good job to sign/re-sign the players he has?

We got into a shit hole after 2022. He has a chance to fix it. I hope he is with us for quite a few more years because that means he will have done a good job to put a great team on the park.

Just a gut feel.

BA and MON didn't get on that's been common knowledge.

This is Ryles side moving forward if him and MON clash whose getting moved on.

It certainly won't be Ryles.

What if throwing huge money at Bellamy is unsustainable and would break us for years afterwards, like the Dragons post-Bennett? Or the Knights post-Bennett?

And if an extra million a year wasn't enough to get Bellamy to the club maybe he knows our resources aren't as good as the ones at his current club. You can throw an extra million at a coach, but if you can't get that million into the hands of the players ('legally') then it's not going to improve the squad. In that case is Bellamy really going to make a difference? Bellamy's Origin record is poor, though it's a small sample. Maybe the quality of the squad is what matters most. Spending $2.5M on a coach won't fix that.

And Bernie Gurr said with new clubs coming into the comp there will be even more demand for football staff. If we rissole MON are we going to get someone better?
