"LB, Clint, Pops. I’m also on the “both are great to have” bus, and they complement each other. My only question mark is the long-term sustainability of keeping both. TDS is tied up, but I'd say the club would be keen to extend Ryley before Nov 1st…"

"Well Ryles was adament, even after Smith debuted that he wanted a 2nd Hooker. Tried to get Brailey for a while.
He must see Smith as something else. But i do not see him signing Da Silva on decent coin and for so many years just to be a 14 or…"

One thing is for sure, I don't think there's a coach in the NRL (maybe Bennett) that is more adored by their fans. Considering he has yet to make a finals appearance, I'd say he's the safest coach in the game right now.
If he keeps building the team with players that look up to him like this, I'd say we could have a pretty special decade in front of us.
I don't think there's any doubt now that Manu will extend his contract in the near future based on the desire he's shown. It's very reassuring, as there were rumours going around earlier that the Roosters were very interested in him. I love Brad's mentality about recruitment as shown in this quote: "the players sell a team and a club. They're the ones who talk, they're the ones who help you recruit other players". I think he's bang on. Arthur has built a culture, and this culture is not only good for improving on-field performance, but also for reducing player turnover. It also means players will not be signed for overs, but rather because they want to play for us. In regards to your blog title, I think BA is perhaps the most integral coach in the NRL in terms of the central importance he plays in keeping the team together. He is the active ingredient, the nucleus. Without BA, many of our players would never have come to Parramatta in the first place. It is critical that he remains.
"Powerful" ????????????????????
What's he press?
On his way but give it a bit more time.
That's what I love about being on here - when things go south we will crucify anyone - when things are looking up we reckon everyone can walk on water.
