Jason Ryles in his after match press conference said that Joash is our 1st choice 5/8 going into the future. He also said that he wants to play him there as much as possible from now on to let him develop and build his game.

I wouldn't say 100% more so I think he wants to see what he has in Joash. I reckon if a 6 comes available he will try and grab them.
I tend to agree LB. I think he needs to see some evidence that Joash can play 5/8 before committing to him for the full year. If not, I think he will go hard at chasing another young half stuck behind someone. I still think he's going after Pezet.
Pezet or someone in particular. I know it can media talk but Anasta said he has his eyes on someone. For Pezet to be available Hughes needs to extend, which seems likely, but needs to do so quickly.
Ryles being mates with Anasta could get the deal in motion quickly you'd imagine 😂
Let's hope so. I like Joash, but in my opinion he's not ready to play 1st grade in the halves yet.
I'd have walker at 6 next year, let Lorenzo develop in cup. Walkers our most dangerous player every week, and we've got Hopgood and de belin who can play lock
This ^^^^
I don't think Walker's got the speed anymore to be on an edge full time. I'd stick with him in the middle and look for a long-term 5/8. Otherwise we're going what, playing a 31-32 year old for a couple of years in the halves and then we're back to the start again. We should be identifying either an internal or external option to be the long-term 5/8.
Doesn't hurt to give him a shot right now. Even if we do sign someone, the experience for Joash will be good moving forward.
Brown has been a 5 or 6 out of 10 im the majority of games. He's head isn't in it
I agree.
From Ryles during presser it sounds like we are not buying anyone soon ...
“And then obviously our spine was young tonight for periods there, but that’s where we’re going with the club.
“We’ve decided to take that approach and I’m really comfortable with it and I just need to get him on the field as often as possible for as long as I can and just get their lessons while they’re developing.”
