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
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.
"Only ones i watched a little bit of were Parker and Lynn. Parker would make a decent career in QCup, he is your Dan Keir type. Just a worker, would do everything you ask him to do. Lynn is similar just does a job but i could also see him getting a…"
"Both are extended til 2027. Fletcher seems to be really impressing in pre-season, similar to what Smith did last year. Not saying he gets near FG but he could play Cup earlier than expected maybe."

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