Ryles states he is is no rush to make signings! I am sorry, but we have an L plate coach who sees no rush? Really, we are second last on a ladder. We will be lucky to avoid the spoon. Unless something changes we have no change on last season, despite the fact that I do see improvements in the squad, but we are still way off the mark. I am stunned by this statement and we must have so much money available for the right players to improve this squad yet we appear to be doing risky squat! I truly hope there are some things going on in the background but if we keep status quo, we are in a word of pain for years to come. The fact that we still have no decent replacement for Dylan Brown says it all. I am getting beyond frustrated. We lack serious impact forwards and a quality 6 and centre. Are we just sitting and hoping or is the Club going to come up with something? One concerned and frustrated life long eels fan here.

A Rookie coach that has a team running equal last after 14 rounds, must surely be a bit more anxious then what he states "in no rush to make signings."
Lets hope that means he is after quality and he's prepared to ensure we have the cap $$ for that quality player when he becomes available.
Cobbo, Staggs, Mahoney, Smith, Hass, Tino, Fifita all have get out clauses, are off contract, or are being shopped around. Some handy talent right there. I have zero confidence though that our recruitment team can negotiate and close a deal for a player that is wanted by other clubs.
And there could be more in the next few months BE. Some even better than what you listed.
Hope so, i'd hate to waste our warchest on has beens or maybes.
You're right OP, I'd rather he is panicking and going mental and begging every player to come here.
If the right player is not available, I'd rather we keep the dough and play some kid.
We were 15th last year. We got a new rookie coach. We signed two top level backs who are showing their value, and are undergoing a stylistic change and a change of philosophy a bit across the club that Ryles brought with him.
Chill, everyone.
Yep, from where I sit we are just sort of waiting and hoping some dominoes fall and we can get some of the left over scraps.
It's frustrating as hell but you can be sure, that the bean counters at Parra will not pay above or market price for any player that becomes available. We are a club that buys bargains and only bargains.
And we won't be winning a damn thing as long as that's the philosophy the club pushes. We aren't about winning comps we are about competing in the NRL. The end.

😂😂😂
Why would any decent player want to come play for us? No honestly? The surrounding suburbs are trash.
We havent been successful in 40 years..
No one grows up wanting to play for us, we are mediocre on our best day.
We are simply a team that makes up the numbers.
You will be alot happier as a fan if you accept this.
