Jason Ryles - Bondi bound

[Rooster_6]

Nah Myles has a real high workrate, I reckon if anyone can replace Fitzy it's him. Maubs is still another year or two off and the rest either play a different role or aren't even close.

JWH is our new Moz

couldn't agree with you more,everyone shot me down for saying he deserves the sack,what do they see in this overated carrnt.He only plays well for QLD.

1 more?

Who's the other one/s?

Agree with Myles, I was happy to hear Smith say the exact same thing as well.

I was thinking the same thing.. Surely JWH is a backrower for now.. Paea is ok off the bench.. FPN maybe, not sure..

Once he gets a heart transplant he might go ok

I agree with you on JWH, he seems to have plenty of Mongrel

Dallas key to a signing frenzy

Article from: The Australian

MELBOURNE and Queensland forward Dallas Johnson is holidaying in Europe but a decision on whether he will move there full-time next season could have ramifications for as many as six clubs in the NRL.

The Australian understands French club Catalans Dragons has targeted Johnson as a long-term replacement for Jason Ryles, who will join the Sydney Roosters in 2010.

Although the Maroons lock has another year remaining on his deal with the Storm, he has an out-clause that enables him to take up offers from Super League clubs.

While Melbourne would be reluctant to lose a player who has been an integral part of its past four grand finals, the club has well-documented salary cap problems. Allowing Johnson to join Les Catalans would ease some of that pressure and help the club retain props Jeff Lima and Scott Anderson.

That could have implications for a host of clubs. Anderson is in the sights of both the Sydney Roosters and Brisbane, while Lima is a target for the Wests Tigers. If both stay at the Storm, all three will be forced to re-evaluate their targets.

The Tigers already have a back-up plan in place. Should Lima remain at the Storm, they could turn their attention to South Sydney's Jaiman Lowe or out-of-favour Brisbane prop Joel Clinton.

Clinton has another year remaining on his deal but is known to be unhappy after falling out of favour late in the season.

The Broncos would not stand in his way if he wanted to leave.

Johnson, who is in Europe with wife Mel, is yet to make a decision on his future. However, teammate Cameron Smith said he wouldn't be surprised if Johnson decided to take up the offer from Les Catalans.

"He has indicated to all the boys if he ever played for anyone else it would not be in Australia," Smith said. "He would never play against the Storm. I think Dallas is happy with what he's achieved in his career.

"I think he's done more than what he thought he would. He's won four State of Origin series in a row; he's been in four grand finals and won two of them; he's played for Australia.

"He's done everything anyone could ever want out of the game. Dallas is a bit of an alternative sort of guy. I think he likes the travel scene. He just got married last year with his partner Mel and he wants to do a bit of travelling.

"Like I said, it would be a huge loss but I think Dallas has realised he's achieved what he wants to do in the NRL and he's moving on to the next part of his career."

Smith, in Kangaroos camp yesterday where he took part in a sponsorship announcement that will see the Australian side wear the Movember logo on their jerseys next month when they play France, acknowledged Johnson would be almost impossible to replace.

It would also leave a gaping hole in the Queensland side. Johnson has been one of the unsung heroes for the Maroons over the past four years, playing the past 12 games in succession. His presence has coincided with an unprecedented period of success for Queensland.

"Coming from a player's perspective it would be a huge loss for us," Smith said.

"It would help the club out given the cap constraints we have got and the pressure we are under there.

"He is vital part of our machine. He's a guy that doesn't get too many raps for his football but without him I am not too sure how our seasons would have gone over the last couple.

"His defence through the middle, his clean-up work ... we certainly notice ... to get a guy that's so selfless towards his team and teammates is pretty hard to find.

"We're the ones they come to to make us aware of it if we're going to lose players. That's the good thing about the club -- they let us know what's going on so it's not a shock to us."

Good! Looking at Ryles as a starter and Anderson for depth. The clubs recruitement actually has some direction. We need Ryles.

[Guest]

Fark me dead!! I had hoped Ryles coming was nothing more than bullshit rumours. I garuntee you all, Ryles will amount to nothing for us, just like O'Meley.

He can't keep his gig in the Catalans side and some of you are looking at him as some sort of leader of our pack...clueless! Our pack is far far worse off with Ryles in it.

Chook.

I spoke to Peter O'Sullivan about him and the conversation went as follows:

Why are you so excited about Ryles? I think he is overrated.

Not overrated. Underachieved. He never had the proper coaching and he has always wanted to play under Brian.

But he is big and slow. That is not what we need.

He is actually very fast and the best forward athelete I have seen. He is big, strong and can play 80 minutes. If you lined up all the forwards in a fitness test for the whole comp he would win.

So O'Sullivan rates him.

That is enough for me to give him a go.

That is funny shit tobin mun...

Well if O'Sullivan is hanging his reputation on Ryles, he is far bigger gambler than I would have thought.

Chook.
