Parramatta have reportedly dropped their interest in signing Sydney Five-Eighth Sandon Smith. The decision is based on the club placing their attention to other options, mainly in house optoins including Joash Papali'i.
Now i do believe they are looking at Papali'i and even in future Talataina, although i also wonder if there is a target that Ryles is looking at that he knows or might know is available that is not known as available if that makes sense. I don't know, the club is very good at keeping information in terms of recruitment sown shut. Anasta did let slip slightly of a target Ryles could be interested in but stopped before he said the actual name. I would put money, not a lot, on us still signing a 6.

Wise choice
From day 1 it was dead in the water. Anasta, who knows Ryles very well, mentioned both Parra and Smith weren't overly keen on one another and Smith was only offered a 1 year deal. He was seen as a stop gap anyway.
I have said it in past but what i was referring to with outside option i mean like Jayden Campbell where rumblings are happening and he could be available and that is who we want for example. Not saying that is exactly the case just example.
Parramatta don't lose interest in players, player's lose interest in Parramatta . The eels clearly knee they had zero chance and don't want to be seen as failing to recruit yet another player , players only come to Parramatta as a last resort or if we are the only option.
100% its as clear as day that the continual recruitment fuck ups (FU MON) are starting to mount up. He was always a target but once he saw the team and set up close the writing was on the wall.....you dont leave a gold standard franchise to come to Us. Its a punch to the guts to realise a player would rather play NSW cup at the Roosters set up then head to us for guaranteed 6 and NRL
Until the team sees daylight this will be our go if we want elite talent it's over paying to get them in here.I'm interested to see who JRs legit first shot in the door is.I know Iongi is definitely one but let's face it a blind man could have got him in here when there was no one else in his way.
If he can turn this thing around and get us knocking on the door of the 8 or in it then maybe the narrative changes until then it's middle of the road Moneyball types which is ok but it'll struggle against teams who just have more talent.
Give me Katoa
That would be nice.
That be great signing never will happen but if he ever leaves the Dolphins he go to the dogs
Definitely won't be dogs Galvin and woods got halves covered.
They got 4 different halves options ahah
