Ryles

[Guest]

I would say he may make a SOO return this year?

Again another that has gone to Melbourne & improved at least 30%.
That hit he pulled off last night was a cracker, he looks so fit.

The ONLY reason I would want Melbourne to win a grandfinal this year would be for Ryles to finally get a premiership

He's been going well this year.
Funny how the ref's don't scrutinise him as closely since he left the Roosters !

Because I dont think the Roosters are roughly done by in regards to the refs & because I dont think Melbourne get any favours from the refs I just think with Ryles he has gone to a club with discipline.
He also feels they can win a comp & he probably with the help of the Storm coaching staff has worked on his discipline so he can be in their 17, because it will be the last chance he has of winning a comp.

He is going great..

He is noticeably not as good as the rest of Melbourne are at the wrestle, but he sure is learning...

Didn't Gomer miss that tackle at the end for Costigan to dive over???

Soft IMO.

That said I think he looks great playing for them, like all their players. I still thought he looked good playing for us the last two seasons. Much maligned player IMO.

Far be it from me to defend a Storm player but when Ryles played for Catalans Dragons, he gave away an average of 1 penalty per game over there too. I remember researching his stats before he came to the Roosters.

Good thing you didn't see Freddy on NRL Deluxe this afternoon then. He has the stats to prove otherwise regarding 50/50 calls against us, refs in Melbourne being intimidated by the crowds etc and has taken this up with Stuart Raper. You'll find the episode on Bigpond Sport or NRL.com..

RWB are you telling me there is a conspiracy from the NRL to have the Melbourne Storm given favourtism & for the Roosters to be given unfavourable decisions?

No, I'm not telling you. I'm repeating what Brad Fittler said on his program this afternoon.

It may well be the case but NewsRL keep putting themselves in the position to have fingers pointed cos those same fingers are in every pie in our game.

They have a major share in the NRL, Melba, The Wankos, Telstra, Fox. They are the most successful teams, the games owners, the major sponsor and the PayTV arm.

And we haven't mentioned their other questionable tactics involving other parts of their org overseas.

I could go on but really it's been done to death and I'm sick of practicing my typing skills on that carnt of a company.

The Storm are an orginisation founded on cheating & disgusting on-field tactics..

They are a blight on the game..

The only reason they still exist is the games annual $8 million grant..

The unbelievably favourable treatment they get EVERY week from officialdom is just another reason they have supplanted Manly as the most hated team in the game..
