I will be really feeling deflated if we sign Tyson Frizell, as good as he is.

There are a couple of Sharks players that could become available, Siosifa Talakai and Braden Hamlin-Uele, for next year. Talakai plays both centre and edge/middle and would be better than De Bellin imo and Braden covers middle also, both positions we're skinny in. Thoughts?Facebook Parramatta Eels pages are full of "Eels fans" losing their minds over the Eels signing David Fifita...
Just when I thought the world couldn't get any stupider, social media says, "Hold my beer!"

100% agree. He started last night and Moretti did too so he probably thought he was back to the lock role for us, rather than prop which seems to suit him better in Ryles ballHopgood isn’t dropping the ball because he’s unfit. It’s because he’s being forced into a role he’s not suited for. Hes not a ball player. The decision about when to run / pass is too much for him
Although I do reckon De Bellin walks into the 13 jumper - his work ethic cannot be understated.
Made about 3 errors last nite all in attacking zone however not alone in that department. If Ryles can get that fixed reckon we'll be competitive next year.Hopefully, Hopgood's decline is due to him not being 100% fit, and can be reversed over the next few months.
JDB will expose Hopgood more than a virtue signalling environmentalist driving a diesel powered SUV.Made about 3 errors last nite all in attacking zone however not alone in that department. If Ryles can get that fixed reckon we'll be competitive next year.
I dont think so, I think JR wants lighter players with leg speed.There are a couple of Sharks players that could become available, Siosifa Talakai and Braden Hamlin-Uele, for next year.

Jnr dropped one and someone else. I think Charlie.Made about 3 errors last nite all in attacking zone however not alone in that department. If Ryles can get that fixed reckon we'll be competitive next year.

We couldnt mount any pressure and alot of the game we were just watching the storm attack
Watching Xavier last night.on another note we are in talks with Xavier Coates brother who finishes school on the gc this year , ryles is very close to Matt Geyer who sent him jack hudson
Maybe that's not what Ryles wants him to do.Hopgood 3 errors in good ball position. And only 50m. Just tackle and run hard. Can he just do these 2 things???
It’s this bit here that I like Ryles. We haven’t been going out to sign an RCG clone because we’ll work Tuivati/Moretti into that role or a Brown stop gap because they’re not going to be appreciably better than Hawkins or even Papalii.Player managers know they won’t sign anyone unless the coach believes they are better than what is coming through.
Boring and predictable given the last few years, but the coach doesn’t want to limit pathways etc
This is a bit Captain Obvious but I also think Ryles has more of an eye on development than winning this year, especially when it became obvious we weren’t going to be a threat this year, but in that I mean down to an individual skill set level. Ideally I think Ryles wants Walker coming on as fatigue starts, but Walker’s main role is still a middle half. So the starter in that position is ideally someone to maybe force a bit of fatigue (generally a larger body) but also can still play that middle half role. Hopgood isn’t at that level. I’ve always seen Hopgood as more a Reuben Cotter type prop.Maybe that's not what Ryles wants him to do.
What that list actually tells me is how many shit coaches we have in the game.
