Ryles can be blamed for many things, including purchasing Pezet for one season, but the injury count he can't control that. If the Eels can just be there abouts to making the finals he has done an amazing job. If the Eels finish this season like they did last season, it's promising for me.
Obviously I want them to play finals but the injury count has been next level and Ryles can't control that, no matter how much people think he can.
I am in aggreeance though, the Pezet signing is a bit of a head scratcher. I am guessing he thought Pezet was better than we all think of him due to Ryles time at the Storm and coaching him in their junior ranks. It's hard to know if a talented junior will make it in the senior leagues but you will never know until you give them a go. You also have to be willing to give them a number of games, not just one or two and then saying they're no good.
Maybe Ryles got the Pezet one wrong, or maybe the Bronco's will reap the longterm rewards?
Weird things are happening this year Coryn. haha. Never in my wildest dreams would i pick the score and our wins this year.
Losing by 50, Winning 40-32 against last years premiers, 30-20 Dragons, Losing by 50 against the Titans, putting 38 on the dogs to win, winning 33-30 Against the cows in Townsville. Mate Bizzare year this year. I can't foresee most games! . Newcastle , Tigers in the top 8, Storm now second last. Anything is possible this year by the looks of it. haha Who adapts to this fast pace, run em ragged , smash the middle fast play the ball and play get the six again smash em again in the middle , play of the back of it score, run back do it again . Touch footy on steroids at times.
I'll be honest, this is one of the best seasons of footy to watch in years because you really don't have any idea who's gonna win each game - I love that!
I wish we had a bit more luck with injuries so we'd be further up the ladder, but this season has a bit for every fan, and everyone has some skin in the game.
We whinge about the 6 agains, but V'landy's ball might just be the spanner in the game we need to upset the predictable team positions from previous years.

Agreed

Yep, Chiefy, agreed. I think JR will slot Pezet into 7 and leave Volkman at 6 if Moses goes to Origin

Different team, different system......love your optimism Chiefy.....are you growing a little horn or just feeling frisky?
"AJ asked the question not me. I'm responding to the question AJ asked. Perhaps ask AJ or Poppa as he seems to know what to do! Well at least he thinks he does 🤣. Then the real question should be asked of recruitment as to why they gave him a season…"
"All hands won't be on Deck Bluey, love your Unicornman Vision but we have Hopgood, Simmonsson and Doory out for the season....throw in a couple of other long termers, don't forget we have got to get Moses through an origin series (goodluck on that…"

Don't forget Matto enjoying his new found vision on life with his intsta

What happens when Moses is picked in Origin?? Who do we bring into 7 ??
Pezet did a job to win Melbourne finals games when Hughes was out.
For all the fans wanting him to go now, just answer the above question... and ill bet your answers will be laughable
Does it make a difference do you see the team playing finals football.
The strategy is sound but are as mentioned serious about making the finals.Big ask if you ask me.

Nsw cup i reckon. Renzo to be 18 or 19th man. Pezet to cover moses during origin but other than that plays 7 in cup
