Rumours and Stuff

[Stevie]

We already have Mahoney at home (Ryley Smith)

We have identified we are looking for a 9… The coach and club are looking for one, hence the suggestion.

Surely Mahoney is a realistic target for next year. Jesus at least he remembers how to get to training. Surely it’s not a hard get?

Averillo unsigned and they just signed his replacement, he’s a good little player who also scored last night.

Mahoney is $650k, Averillo what, $400?

The throw the rest at a 100game plus backrower and middle as we look a little more optioned up for getting a first grade team every week.

Massive yes and yes.
Averillo would be an excellent acquisition. Just get it done

Not sure what everyone is worried about, we have the Ponisiiiiii of the West running the show, this time next year we will all be saying how did we get things so right???

Plus our juniors have never been better since Smithy at least.

 

[Glenneel]

If that’s all it took, the list would be a lot longer. Use your brian ffs!!!

Who's Brian???

 

[Timana]

Who's Brian???

Jackson. Good player

This is just semantics. A lot of what you’re claiming to be an opinion or assertion is ironically a matter of opinion. I can look at what you claimed to be an opinion and say you made an assertion. It’s all very subjective. Don’t take anything I say personally. I’m not out here trying to play the man. I know that you fancy yourself as someone who is intellectually honest so I’m just challenging what you say to see if you can justify it. I won’t lie. It’s a game to me. It’s no different to why you post on here when you respond to criticism of the club.

Yes I've come to terms with the fact (or is it an opinion?) that most people can't tell the difference between an opinion and a statement of fact.

Hope is gone. Time to prepare for next season and looking at different options.

Not saying we shouldn't, just don't think we will.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You are comparing a seasoned dummy half to a fullback thrown into hooker..

That's not like you Pou Pou.

It explains why Papalii was poor. Just don't deny it.

If we weren't prepared to pay 600k for TDS.

Why would we for Mahoney whose older and despite being a better player atm his potential ceiling isnt as high as TDS.

If he's a better player, he is worth more. If TDS has a higher ceiling it means he will be worth more in the future, not right now.

To quote a certain f**kwit… Rugby League is a funny, funny game.

In what world does a first grade coach pick players to prepare them for next season?
Every game remaining Ryles will pick the best available 17 and hope to compete and win each game.

There is an argument he has prepared for.next season since 1 November.

If he was aiming to compete and win every game this year, then Gutho, RCG, Joffa and Cartwright would still be here (or all would have been adequately replaced), Lane would be in the team, and Matterson would've spent more time on the field.

He was happy for the team to be a poorer side and have less chance of winning matches by making those decisions, so I don't see why he would just not bother playing Brown any longer. Once Moses returns, Brown should be just told he can have some 'gardening leave'.

I'd argue that Carty, Lane and to a lesser extent Matto, don't play the style Ryles wants and therefore in his mind arent/weren't the best selections, hence they weren't selected or were dropped.

Joffa... meh. Neither here nor there whether he makes the 17 over Doorey, Tuivati and Moretti.

RCG and Gutho were long-term decisions made by the players, not the coach.

And are you supporting swapping 130+ gamer in Brown for 6 gamer in Papalli? I thought loss of experience was one of your recent concerns dude.

 

[T-Boon]

He was good in attack. As people are aware I don’t watch defense. That is when I socialise.

Perhaps the issue is that Dylbro is paid like an elite 6, when in fact he’s a good player, better defender and a so so in attack. In no description is the player elite, and that’s why there is disappointment in his overall impact on games .

Compare to other elite 6s, he’s not in their postcode, even Nikorima seems to have him covered, he’s a decent person who’s come through the system but like a lot of recent extensions, overpaid for his real ability .
