I like the way Ryles learnt from the Galvin situation. When asked on the radio about TDS, he gave nothing away. Just said we are interested but so are lots of clubs. He would have known we were red hot favourites but didn't want to be caught declaring us 'all in' like he did with Galvin.

That extra 1/2yrs probably sealed it.

Hope we didn't break the bank to get him.

Yesterday he was shit and we were glad he was going to Manly , I just can't keep up who we love and who we hate anymore. Life was so much easier when it was just a very small group of us disliking DylBoobs and Flufferson.

  You can always keep it simple, Wiz, and just keep hating BA.

  Haha so true.
  
  Golden rule of being a Parra fan - everyone is shit until they play in blue & gold. Then they are shit if we keep or start losing when they are in the blue & gold.

  Bro, why are you doubting Ryles ability to recognise talent.

    Probably because he has not yet proven his ability to recognize talent

    Who Chief ? Me ? I never knocked or praised this kid. I've literally never even heard of her until we started discussing the potential signing here.
    
    I'm just saying that 24 hours ago this site was flooded with people absolutely stoked that Manly snagged this kid as he was shit . And 24 hours before that when Manly wernt red hot favourate to sign him, this site was saying this kid was a gun signing and exactly what we need.

"I have been told mental health reasons. Can't remember who by , may have even been on here ? But the mail was he's struggling mentally and is on indefinite paid leave . "

I can immediately see that Jason Ryles is following a similar approach to Bellache at Storm and Cleary at Panthers. JR is locking down members of the spine long term which helps build combinations and consistency over a period of time. This is…

"I hope he goes well and forms a good combination with Smith, like it was when Brad Drew and PJ Marsh were playing for us. Welcome Da Silva, earn your stripes and show us what you can do. "
