Credit to Ryley Smith

Posted by Offside on April 6, 2026 at 8:15pm

Maybe its a reflection on Pezet but we looked better with Ryley at 6 and Mitch went into the game a bit more. 

Smith looked Gassed when he was coming off and had got a bit of treatment before and was back on very quickly and was solid obviously hes notva option next week without making the 9 weaker but hes played in the halves coming through the grades and slotted into the role well.

 

Overalls im gutted that a game was ruined by a poor referee performance but the resilience with the injuries deserves acknowledgement

    Ryley wasn't even meant to comeback on, he was cooked

    Ryley is playing injured. And I agree they did look good with him at 6, it made Moses play on both sides which makes the team look way better.
