The Rumours Thread

[AyiosYiorgos]

Why do we have to give Rav a top 30 spot ? We have a plethora of wingers or players that can play on the wing & he would be way down the list ? If he doesnt leave he can play out his time in reserve grade. Happy to be corrected if there is another reason why.

Because he has a valid and legitimate contract on big coin for starters..

So are you suggesting they don't need a backs coach?

IMO Ryles needs to have some support and who better to try than someone who has played at the highest level but evidently you want to rule him out for having done so.

Gasnier can teach them match day preparation, personal drills, dealing with the mental challenges of playing against the best, how to change the momentum of a game, what to do if what you are doing isn't succeeding plus a shit load more of things he has experienced 1st hand.

This place is full of skeptics of others whilst hating anyone being skeptical of our own team / coaches etc and of course are even more skeptical of any former players doing stuff at other clubs.

I was waiting for your usual reply and you did not let me down
You can’t have it both ways OT
Accusing a Dragons forum of being sceptical of others when you are one of the biggest sceptics of the current dragon coach we have
In all your rant about supporting the current Parra coach you have not provided one reason why Ryles himself should avoid scepticism

It is great Sterlo is back but please tell me how Ryles gets the credit for bringing Pete Stirling or should I say Sterling for the ambassador role with the club?

But if Ryles succeeds next 2years as you suggest I will certainly acknowledge I was wrong
But after being in a GF 2 yrs ago and nearly always challenging for a Top 4 or always the 8 recently under Arthur what does success look like for Parra and their fans with arguably the best 7 and 6 combo in the comp akin to Melb going forward

Because he has a contract and earning big $$ and counted in the squad
Does not preclude him for playing Reggies

Stirling has had almost nothing to do with the club post his retirement

He know says he’s glad to be onboard as part of “the new era” for Parramatta.

Isn’t Ryles the new era?

If he didn’t believe in Ryles do you think he would stick his head up now?

Appreciate that Gareth , I just like sharing what I see and hear and just enjoy sharing in the joint passion that we all have , that being our support of the Big Red V

Keep it up BIG RIG. There will always be those that are hard to please and cynical. Best to ignore them

Well he had a job in the media he loved for 30+ years.. and not long since retired.. would say too busy more than anything
Now.. He is being paid to be an ambassador of the club he loves and probably has the time. Good luck to him
How do you know he was not approached in lieu of sticking his head up
He was just as supportive of Arthur when Parra were flying especially he dared to dream in 2022 when asked
But now you are grandstanding!
New Era.. cmon. We have all heard that many times before at all clubs
It is just a new rookie coach. different year

I will say though and what is not in doubt.
They have a better Top 17 than us and have done for nearly 10 years.
They are a rich powerful club.
Well run BOD?. That is debatable
Ryles is starting on a better platform than Flanno had.
You talk about Lawrie being here with us. Whose fault is that.
Was he not offered an opportunity to explore other options.

Flanno had and still has a bigger job to resurrect our flickering flame of a squad and football club department.
He cant change the front office
