Rumours and Stuff

Welcome merkin.

If the Tigers only complete at 64% in that heat I'm sure Paulo will look like a world beater.

Fair enough mate. But regardless of the opposition completion rates, I just want to physically see him have a f**king go. Put a statement out that he isn’t done just yet.

We need a leader. Will the real JP please stand up?

I thought Williams was the new leader..

Didn't really lead last weekend

What, Galvin doesn’t have a PO in his contract, gee if only he played for a club run by smart people in negotiations.

If he had a PO do you think that would stop him testing the market? He is on unders ffs

Bev

i reckon forget Bevan. Find one of the current juniors get him tackling and tackling and when he is ready, put him in. Get Moses to play from both sides and demanding the ball most plays ala Cleary. We also have many others like Hopgood who can take some the pressure off Moses. The youngster can then drift around following Moses in attack but will be able to hold his own in defens

Bevan would be average again, if he came back to NRL

I think he would go pretty well at fullback in a strong team. In a weaker team he would get dominated, also at fullback. No NRL club would play him in the halves. If he was attempting 20+ tackles every week he would miss at least 10 of them.

If he signs for us for $800k to $1m for season 2027, there will be massive pressure to release him early seeing that he is on a reported $350k next year.

 

[gaffer]

is Cronk the worst ever he thinks his thoughts will miraculously turn into what players do

He'll want more than $1m to come to this rabble with a novice Coach.

Hmmm here's one for you to argue about:

Has Ryles lost the dressing room, the experienced players at least?

If he has, we're in for a few spoon to near-spoon seasons.

Probably lost the dressing room of the players that he doesn't want to keep...

 

[JokerEel]

Fairly sure Carty is out saw him posting on Instagram during the game he was out to dinner..

Could have been last night and a delay response to post it during our game but I doubt it

I think your spot on....

Ryles looked like a broken man in the pre game interview....his body language said it all.

Ryles needs to clean out the BA fan boys...

 

[Timana]

Can someone explain how the cooling off period?

Can Drown reneg on the Knights deal and take up our PO?

We wiped the cooling off period.

 

[King-Gutho94]

We wiped the cooling off period.

I heard it was the quickest waiver of a cooling off period in the history of the game.

Says it all really...

Ryles helped develop the Storms leadership model over the last few years . He knows what he’s doing in that regard .

The lack of leadership in our players is beyond staggering . Another failure of the BA era. Barlow isn’t a leaders asshole. No talk , no follow me , spits out BA style answers in the presser . Ryles will spend 4 mins talking about the areas of our game that were positive and being let down by concentration errors and the edges and Barlow will use a BA line about not turning up . After a try is scored against us there is no talk behind the posts , the communication on field is next to non existent .. Dylbro might talk to the bloke right next to him when he has to that’s the extent of his communication .. Mitch holds this side together . Him not being there to steer the young guys around is a complete disaster and has made life incredibly hard for Ryles .

I think fans have to be patient and Ryles has to keep the players together . He’ll come out of this a better coach. It would’ve been easy for him to keep Gutho , RCG etc around but we’ve had next to no succession planning , no quality depth and those guys weren’t taking any team to the promised land .

Dylbro is taking a back seat to a 7 who hasn’t played in 2 years and has 7 games experience . Volkman is on a train and trial contract and would’ve been hoping to re-establish his career in Cup. If that doesn’t tell people not upgrading and extending Dylbros contract was the right move nothing will. Real rough start but I’m confident the coach isn’t making easy decisions to cover his ass and is more concerned about where the club needs to go next . Hang on tight and get through the storm .
