"The explanation I would like since we are on that tact Pops is why and how so many of our top players had player options which for the most part destroyed us in the player market."
"Interested to see how Samrani holds up at centre for rest of the season. He does play with a lot of effort so he might shock some of us haha "
"No doubt we will have to pay some of his contract to play for someone else, maybe as much as $200k and I'm ok with that. All clubs at some point or another partially pay to get a player off their books, obviously it's a situation you would rather…"

Well Ryles did say, he wants Parramatta people. If you are not wanting to be here why convince you. Who knows, maybe Ryles said he could not guarentee Simonsson a spot over Russell and that's how it went. We don't know.
And LB, that is spot on. Ryles pretty much said those words at the member forum pre-season; it should have been said years ago.
It's Parramatta club, not the players that run it. I do not want to go down the bashing BA route as this was not all his fault, but that was the feel for a long time that the players walked around as if they owned the joint, all about the boys and doing it for them.
I have said a lot over the years but will say it again, when they lost that GF i believe most would have felt bad they let the boys down not the club and fans.
Ryles from his first interview used the catchphrase "Parramatta people" which thankfully he has not overused as i feared he would but that is the approach we want to see. People who are here to play for Parramatta and love playing for Parramatta. Yes some will play here regardless for an opportunity but look at Joash, you can tell how much he loves playing for the club. Iongi has expressed how much he loves it here.
Ryles has installed that and though it doesn't guarentee comps, it helps. It starts with him who you can tell loves coaching Parramatta.
Yes, it should always be about the club first. Melbourne instilled that back in 1999. Ryles started with a clean slate at pre-season and you can who stepped up.
The perception was the players (NRL) owned the joint as you said, and that should never be; but it also goes deeper in terms of recruitment etc. and ensuring we have youth coming through.
The MON and co situation also appeared from the outside to be out of step with BA; all perception but that is how it appeared. Following the 22 loss we failed to recruit well.
Some teams who lose the GF often lose it for a few years - Canberra particuraly but Ricky has them using youth now; Brisbane also appear to be still with a players approach / ex players having some influence.
Brisbane are a prime example of self centredness in the club. Madge was brought in to fix it but is too much of an authoritarian to fast the mob. Ryles seems to have that nice balance of being able to put forward discipline while also getting those onside and dealing with those who do not buy in respectfully and quickly.
I think Ryles also has the benefit of not having a bunch of former players thinking they know how to run the club and having him continuously undermined.
Think the key for Parra and Ryles is both Moses and Paulo both appear to be front and centre of the club and playing for the club. Brisbane to me appear to still have some egos there and Madge needs to be able to stamp his own love on the club.
Yes, his staff seem on the ride with him. Brown doesn't want another Head coach job. Wisemantal has not held a HC job really anywhere in his resume. Moa maybe would want one but not anytime soon. All good coaches that want to help and answer to Ryles.
Everything you have said I wholeheartedly agree with NOS.
It's sad to see him go, and yes, let's hope something is in the pipeline to soften his departure.
