TLT Round 5 Vs the Dragons

[84 Baby]

Absolutely not
He's playing like he's set up for life so doesn't give a shit without Moses there. The drums are beating that he just isnt that good.
However, sooner or later those drums are going to beat louder and he will pull a 10/10 game out of his ass
Why not this week lol

When the drums start beating, all Brown is going to do is get a little handsy with Lawrie’s moobs.

Mate if we win this week it’ll enough of an upset to make me believe we’re a genuine chance this season

 

[Timana]

Matterson named in reserve grade again … is rules trying to push him out of the club ?
If he’s fit surely we need his experience in first grade

Matto would be the type to just enjoy reserves

 

[Timana]

Still no Carty

 

[King-Gutho94]

Yeah it's bizarre. I've seen it suggested he's a bit injured - which is it? Did he play reserves last week? Moretti comes straight back in but Matterson and Simmonson can't?

Attitude would play a large part

Matto's attitude has been rubbish when he was guaranteed a starting spot

I can just imagine him moping around even more with the shits now it wouldnt be really helping his cause

Another brain-dead recruitment blunder giving that bloke a 4 year contract off the back 6 weeks of decent footy.

 

[Chipmunk]

I would disagree with Ryles is this is the case. He's a seasoned first grader. He should play until the end of the season when he'll have to look for another club or retire.

Why will he have to look for another club or retire at the end of the season? He has a player option in his favour for 2026.

Seems personal

Walker to player hooker and lock during the game I assume..

Happy for Smith to be starting last 2 weeks he has really impressed.. especially his eyes up footy and running from dummy half when he see's an opportunity.

Lane brings no energy but I hope Kier comes along and jumps him for the edge spot

Lane can teach you how to put your hands on your hips

Lussick gone. That’s one down. Still many to go

He took up his PO for this year and 2026 im fairly sure

 

[the phantom menace]

So... same backline, with Simonssen (picked on wing in Cup) and Volkman and Papalii among the reserves as possible late inclusions.

It's probably easier to push Lomax out wide to wing during games then it is to make a headline by swapping the number on his back.

No Lussick! Also no published injury list, so we don't know if its Ryles reaction to the first 45mins of last week, or whether it was a decision forced by other factors.

Walker on the bench ready to come into the game before half time, possibly at #9 or #13 (although I wish it was at #6 as a way of shifting Brown). Hands also listed among the reserves (and picked at #9 in Cup).

Moretti in for Guymer... fair enough if he's fit, and Guymer is among the reserves (and selected at edge in Cup) so might come into contention if coach wants to drop either Lane or Kautoga without a week of headlines.

No sign of Cartwright or Doorey. And WTF is "injured" Matterson doing playing 80mins in NSW Cup but not being selected for NRL duties, either in our middle rotation or as an edge?

Dragons by 16.

The club should have told his PO to PO...

 

[the phantom menace]

My changes to your team

Would have been good... and possibly could still happen on game day (except Lussick, Matterson and Mataele).

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

Ryles won't get the best out of his team until matto, Brown, Cartwright and penesini are gone. You can just see the unrest in this group, and the players mentioned have become toxic.

 

[the phantom menace]

I'd add Lane to that....

And presto, that list is pretty much the PO gang!

 

[Twizzle]

Matto not even in the reserves, something going on there, Ryles really doesn't like him for some reason.

When you compre him to the rest of our pack, he not the worst player.

 

[Soto]

I have actually heard it. But not from anyone reputable. Have seen plenty of April Fools jokes about him being out for the year which is not really a joke imo. People need to be more careful with the emotions of Parra fans.

Yeah eff them...we're resilient but how dare they make fun of us...they can GGF

 

[Soto]

Zero tackle did a April Fools thing.

Because they have zero idea

especially when Ryles said Matto won't be back for some weeks
