Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

I reckon you are missing the point of what Ryles is trying to do. It's obvious he is trying to regenerate the squad with a focus on youth.

Pretty much every position, we have some promising juniors/rookies potentially ready this year or next 12 months.

It makes sense to try and extract some benefit from the junior 'development' (poaching) we invested in since the PLC started full trading again after Covid. We won SG Ball in 2023, came fifth last year (with our best under 19s fast tracked in Flegg/NSW Cup/NRL) and are leading the comp this year. It's streets ahead of 2018-2022, after Max Donnelly put the razor through football expenses, and we only made the SG Ball finals once (2019) in those five years.

Do we know for certain that the club beancounters did'nt veto the travelling expenses for non-essential squad members?

Remember we're a club with few resources.

Do injured Scum follow them around the country?
I’ve even got a faint recollection of hearing somewhere that Cunster paid his own way to travel with team when he was injured last year.

“Knights confirm big money contract still on the table”

I don’t get how you watch his performance on the weekend and still want him for 1.3 million.

They will be looking at all of his performances, not just that one.

Maybe we can land Fletcher Sharpe

i just wish Atkinson was still on the market, would’ve been a good replacement

Dylan is gone.

Life changing money for his and his families future security. Good on him for getting such a good deal.

RCG would be still better in 2025 than any middle forward we have on our books.

By a country mile....

Hell yeah!!!!!

Thank you Newcastle ! I cannot wait for the uproar from your fans in coming years.

Congrats to the Eels on not giving in to his ridiculous salary demands.

Oh, and Dylbags, you’re a goose. A petulant, underperforming goose.

Good riddance.

Badel reporting it's a done deal.
Hmm salary cap anyone?

 

[Pazza]

There's gotta be more to it than 10 years 13 million

There'd have to be COs or MOs littered all through that deal, surely the knights would have something to protect themselves if it goes sour

 

[Soto]

Let's be honest there is no point persevering with him and I would immediately drop him to reserve grade and give player(s) who are going to be around 1st grade experience.
I get he needs to look after himself but the club has stood by him.
Cut him loose now or let him languish in NSW cup.
I've been a huge supporter but this is just BS.
See ya mate
Your form has been terrible and you were being outshone by Dejearn Asi last year.
On ya bike

Mutual options the last two years Lol

we robbed the knights, they are stuck with him for 8 years

 

[Avenger]

Told you guys yesterday that I was leaning more to him leaving. His performance reeked of someone with other shit on his mind.

 

[senior]

We have 4 million to spend over the next few years!!!!

Who gives a shit?

 

[hineyrulz]

Just f**k off now, ungrateful POS!!

I hope he turns into an absolute nobody.

The clubs incompetence might even even help us in the long run.

These are blessings in disguise we've had recently with this dope leaving, the swap with blaize, and dragons taking a cripple of our hands.....

Now ryles can have a war chest to rebuild his team....it's crazy having Moses and dylbro taking up close to 2.5 million on the cap....stupid management...

And the Knights are absolute morons ....

 

[hineyrulz]

He played yesterday like he couldn’t even give a f**k, a selfish dope who never put the club first. No wonder he’s close with Brad.

 

[Eelogical]

Give him some credit, merkins. At least he didn't wait until Round 10.
