Yes interested, doesn't mean 100% go hard. Ryles has stated right now he wants to concentrate on locking up internal players.
I don't think I mentioned that did I 100 %.
If your HC is meeting him there must have been a decent level of interest though.
The difference is when the media hear it in passing but they've got this right if JR has personally met him and his PA.
Can I suggest Longy that what you say at the end is so so true. "You don't build a team by buying individuals - that just gets you an incoherent bunch of players".
The club has been unable to sign players that they have identified first up as fitting their style, players wanted for their pace and skill in demand players that are converted by other clubs, players that compliment and fit into Ryles vision. These players are the ones we are missing out on. The direct result - we are left purchasing individuals that can fill a hole for a while, or that posess potential unrealised. This surely cannot be good for a team attempting to be better then most.
I wonder if it was put to TDS that it would be a time share with Ryley smith and not a certain starter ? We don't really know what goes down in the meetings but if manly has given him the starting role with no push back that's probably what he's looking for. Eels looking for someone to work with Ryley and compliment him not take the lion share of minutes off him
The difference is that Ryles is searching for players that can play a particular role when called into the team. We have seen that build throughout the year, especially last week with 2 back-up halves being called into the NRL team to play their role, and getting good results.
That's not to say we don't need players with pace and skill, of course we do. They should be the regular NRL players, who set the benchmark for the position they play in so that all back-up players can aspire to play to a similar role (with the obvious less skil/speed etc). I can see that Ryles is building a club for sustainable success. We haven't seen this at Parra for a long time, probably ever. This is going to take time, but if fans are expecting an instant win with a team full of rep stars next season, they are going to be sorely dissapointed because that's not the way the club is building.
The only ones linking TDS with Parra were the media.
We definitely had a crack at him but mostly linked to us due to cap space really, we aren't desperate for a 9 yet.
So you are saying we weren't really interested? I mean you do have more insight than us into the club Super.
Ryles stated he had a chat with him but other clubs were also keen on him.
He also said we are interested.
