There's been plenty of criticism aimed at the Parramatta Eels lately for not securing Lachlan’s signature, but honestly, it's a huge positive that we didn’t make a knee-jerk decision to sign Michael Maguire.

 

Let’s be real—Madge has won just one of his last six, and his Donkeys are being flogged at Brookvale with a star-studded lineup. The signs aren’t great. There are already rumblings coming out of the Broncos camp about his intense style, and one player has already been shown the door.

It’s really starting to look like we dodged a bullet.

Meanwhile, Jason Ryles has done a far better job so far—working with a squad full of development players and dealing with key injuries in crucial positions. And yet, the effort and attitude have been spot on.

Go Rylsey!

    • Oh, we've just found out who the little coward Bob Mertens supports lol. Poor little kent hiding behind his little keyboard in his broncos gear  haha. Lol

  • Couldn't agree more. The Broncos are in all sorts, with the talent in that squad they should be top 4 without a question.

  • Isn't great he even infected origin yr the best madge

  • I honestly don't know how Payne Haas does it.

    With parents in jail up teen kids to support and look after.

    • Yes Coryn,  the best front rower by a long way

    • I had Madge just ahead of  Ryles  but I certainly didn't want Hannay 

      The polls showed clear favouritism for Madge,  but credit to the club for getting Ryles. 

      • I'm currently loving how wrong I was about Ryles. I was worried he was just another Storm Assistant that talked a big game, plus, he shit me as a player.

        He's proving to be exactly the coach this club needs.

  • But chief... those that hate MON were saying  how he fucked up by not been able to get Madge and was  another missed signing 

     

    *disclaimer I think MON is shit , but sick of certain posters who constantly bash MON 

    • Yes, Mark O'neill was heavily involved in getting Ryles.
