Rumours and Stuff

[Avenger]

According to Zero Tackle, it's the second option.

He's apparently "furious" that he was overlooked, in favour of other players.

I'm not sure I really blame him - I would've thought he is in our best 17, when fit.

But I trust Jason Ryles.

He had a shocker against Canberra which didn’t help his cause. Defence is also 50% of the game and that’s not what he’s good at.

I'm not too fussed if he goes - I like him, but he's not indispensable.

And if he's going to throw his toys out of the cot, he's not the right cultural fit for us, anyway.

I think Ryles has spent this first season finding out who the players that will bring the attitude and culture and turn it into a successful outfit.

He has definitely found out what a selfish culture that has rotted in the joint in the background for years.

And the self entitlement from some players.

Who all have achieved nothing

No one is bigger then the club

Ryles has spent the whole year weeding out all the selfish/soft pricks just like Ciraldo did in his first season.

Two things have happened.
His manager treated us like rabbits. Signed a 3yr deal when DID HIS ACL on the cheap. Used us to pay him to rehabilitate and get fit and told Bailey once playing well again we will shop around. Thanks for the 250/300k Parra for my rehab. Suckers.


Or

Bailey was pissed off when he was recalled to NRL and overlooked for guys like Will,Joash, and Russel and thats what's stirred him up.

Hes also 28 now , he wants a bigger contract as he doesn't have too many years left. Maybe get a bears or png contact to hopefully at least buy himself a home otherwise he'll have nothing post footy

If i was him go the png tax free

 

[Matty Bhoy]

He’s said he wants to play on the wing… well he’s certainly not ousting JAC or Lomax. Ryles will be looking for players that will play in the fkn front row if he asks them to. If you’re not “team first” you’re not in the team.

That is how you change club culture for the better.

 

[parra-matters]

send him on his bike, cya bailey!

He had a shocker against Canberra which didn’t help his cause. Defence is also 50% of the game and that’s not what he’s good at.

So the reports are that he has been asking for a month. That’s before we played Canberra. Something fishy going on here.

 

[Stagger eel]

well not really..

if the rumours are true than he wants to finish his career on the Gold Coast where he as a business with his mate Harley Smith Shiels and using the and using the ole 'I want to play wing' arguement as an excuse.

If I was a mid tier player like him I’d do the same. It’s a great spot to retire, however don’t bank on any on field success anytime soon.

 

[Avenger]

Interesting take

yeah, there isn't a club in the NRL that embraces a shit attitude more than the Gold Coast.

 

[85 Baby]

Interesting take

Well if Russell wasn’t injured, Brown wouldn’t be playing either. The Brown issues are also probably largely put to bed, at least compared to Simonsson

 

[King-Gutho94]

Interesting take

I think Ryles knows we need to win this game and should be winning.

Nothing helps development more then winning football games.

We have got a lot of positive press in the past month its time to back it up with some wins.

Playing Drown ahead of Samrani in the centres gives a better opportunity to win and its plugging a minor role in the side.

 

[Timana]

Its what i was pushing. If the future is now, then why dylbro at centre? Makes no sense

 

[Stagger eel]

yeah and it does appear on the surface that Dyls attitude has been first class since his decision to leave.

I might be on the minority on this one but I really hope he gets a proper send off.

 

[Gherkin]

Maybe Ryles doesn't want to throw someone in at centre that he doesn't think can handle it and risk ruining their confidence and hindering their development.

I think it also shows that we desperately need another centr at the club now.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

yeah, there isn't a club in the NRL that embraces a shit attitude more than the Gold Coast.

*’laid back’

ever since Ronnie Gibbs moved up there in 1988.
