Jason Ryles - Bondi bound

[Guest]

It isn't the amount of backrowers, it is the experience factor that is the problem.

I am under the impression that we signed Conn to replace Fitzgibbon - that is a relatively poor option, however maybe Smith can transform Conn the way he did with Taia and Hilder. Give him a very clearcut role - tackle anything that moves, and make yards.

its not Ryles experience its his attitude, his egotistical arrogance that will harm us a huge deal.
the only thing he will mentor the players in is sleeping with other players wives.

This is a bad move getting Ryles a bad move for the stability and cohesion of an already ****ed squad

You put Myles in his natural position and there's no problem with experience with Mason in there too. Mitch Aubusson would be the perfect compliment to that second row.

I question whether Myles is a backrower or not.

I personally think his better matches for us are at prop. We need more speed and mobility out wide. Myles is too slow and sluggish.

Why the hell is Ryles going to lead our forward pack when he could not lead a very good St George one when he was part of it.

People are kidding if they thinlk this idiot is the solution to our problems.

[Guest]

another huge huge mistake,
he has more penalties in him than setamata sa.drops more ball than matt cooper and skd put together

He lead their pack very well last year, he has his faults but he's twice the player any of the props we currently have are. I'm excited about having JWH and Ryles in the side next year, two very different players who should compliment each other nicely. Frank Paul needs another year or two before he'll be ready to start as for Lopini well I think he just needs someone to support him in the middle and we'll see the best from him again (hopefully).

Why, if he did in fact lead the pack at St George, did Bennett want him punted.
Ryles is extremely overrated, he loses his cool and can't be trusted to stick to game plans.

The same Wayne Bennett who didn't want Petro Civoncieva? He hates props on big money and it doesn't matter if you are the best in the world or Justin Poore if you're a prop and you're getting a big salary you don't have much chance of staying long under Bennett. Has nothing to do with how good he is.

As for the mental side of his game well I guess that's where Brian Smith thinks he can improve him, it's not the first time he has made a play for him. You can't deny Smith's good track record with these types of things either.

you will find that he wanted him gone as he was hogging most of st georges salary cap. I cant see us offering him similar money realistically at all - we dont have very much free money - Sa isnt on more than about $250k which is a good 150k short of what Ryles was on at the dragqueens let alone in france

So we sign a prop that was kicked out of Catalan for being a lazy, useless bludger...and people are getting excited by this?

Ryles is a waste of farking space!

Chook.

what we have to start to get used to is that smith doesnt tolerate 'lazy, useless bludgers'

[Guest]

It all depends on how much cap space he takes... If his on anything over 300K he is not worth it...

He has had a good season in ESL. I cannot remember his stats that I posted recently but they were quite good
