I'm not talking about eels I'm talking about our stupid recruitiment and retention team.Like how can a group be so fcken stupid,surely we can petition to get em out of the club cause they fcken suck.Like you look at all the other clubs signing guns for good money then there's our stupid club who are "playing strategically "ITS NOT WORKING OUT FCK THE PLAYING STRATEGICALLY and go all out fmd.
Anytime I see eels connected to a player I instantly lose hope cause there's 0 chance of us even getting him even a reserve grade player we can chuck a mil at and they still won't come.Fck anyone here can do a better job then those idiots.

Have no faith long time ago. We have the money bit we can't get (buy) what we want. We are always left holding the proverbial empty bag because our R&R people maybe don't know how to convince and sell to targetted players the visions that will entice them to join us. They are only successful in signing players that other clubs do not want. Unless we change the people in our R&R personnel, then we will never be a top 8 team that may have a chance winning a Premiership.
I totally have lost faith in recruitment and retention. Let’s face it, what Ryles is doing with this roster, even the hall of fame coaches would struggle with The second half of last season where we beat a few premiership contenders proves that Ryles is the right man for Parramatta
In no way we can put any blame on Ryles for the position we are in. Its all due to those higher up - namely # 1 Mark O’Neill and 2. Sarantinos.
The number of botched contracts and the failure to attract any top level players is a total failure. The Brown contract was an absolute joke with get out clauses galore, and signing Matterson on a lifetime contract was equally as puzzling, and there's numerous other examples of inept roster management
Until O'neill is out nothing will change. Ryles can't be expected to do his job aswell as O'Neill’s, there isn't enough hrs in the day.
If Sarantinos doesn't bight the bullet and make changes, nothing will change . In that case we have to campaign to clean everyone out except Ryles- who like I've said is doing everything he can to turn the sinking ship
I'm a believer, we haven't overpaid or offered an excessive contract term on any player since BA got the boot. We removed a lot of dead wood and signed a lot of young up and coming talent. Numerous players are delivering good value relative to their salary at this point in time and I think we've got a solid plan in place with internal development.
Keen for your take on who is delivering good value relative to their salary. I would struggle to name many to be honest.
Remember all teams have the same salary cap so our team is paid as much as the Panthers.
Smith, Russell, Williams, addo Carr, Tuivita, walker off the top of my head
I'm with you to a point I'm looking at other teams development and what we are producing so far and I'm far from convinced it's any better than anyone else.
I mean it was on show on the weekend who would you have Russell or Maclean
Tuivaiti or Lindsay Smith
Guymer or Martin
This is what we are up against as examples.
Im all for development all for it but is it as good or any better than anyone else on what I've seen so far I'd suggest not.
Don't forget one of those juniors (Talagi) playing for Penrith was ours and we couldn't keep him. See him outleap our FB to score a try?
Like you I'm all for juniors. And we have brought through a pretty decent crop lately but it's not earth shattering by any stretch. And one of our best left.
Development isn't merely developing local juniors it's about bringing the best juniors from around the country into our system. Hindmarsh, Lyon, PJ Marsh, Burt etc. Are we doing that or are we crossing our fingers that boys born in Kellyville will be the next Dally Messenger?
This squad needs rep level quality in tandem with developing debutants. We're not getting it done in any metric in R&R.
Never had faith in MON, only have to look at the state he left the Tigers in
Lol that was gone a while back.
