Ryles Is Letting Us Down With His Trash Selections

Posted by Kurupt - Your Mums Favourite Thug on May 16, 2026 at 10:05pm

1. Papalii - not a fullback, just a adhd kid. Replace with Apa if Iongi not available.

2. Kelly - butter fingers, trash pickup from loser titans. Replace with Russell.

3. Samrani -okay.

4. Russell - can't pass to JAC. Useless at centre.

5. JAC - is JAC.

6. Volkman - believes his own hype, turnstile, replace with Papalii, can't be any worse.

7. Moses - wtf with the goal kicking. Take the tee off him ffs.

8. Moretti - decent, can forgive his drop ball per game.

9. TDS - passes are not crisp, a poor mans Reed Mahoney when he ignores Moses' calls.

10. Guymer - meh.

11. Tuilagi - why, just fking why.

12. Williams - great player when we are winning.

13. JDB - offer him back to st merge.

14. Walker - only one trying.

15. Paulo - soft hands, soft body, run hard for once!

16. Pryke - okay, don't pass buddy.

17. Mataele - start him.

The whole back line needs replacing if they are to be any chance. The current backline should all be fighting it out for a backup spot.

  Ryles just said Iongi is back.

    Need more than Longi is this team. Moses captaincy has definitely affected his game.Start bringing in lower grade players that might be the future players as the Eels aren't finals bound. So get some of these younger players ready now

      Perhaps these High-quality players coming thru are just an illusion...a Mirage..a cruel trick of the light that plays on the eyes of the desperate, promising relief before crushing the last of their hope with a mouthfull of sand

        Possible but seeing some fresh faces would at least be brighter for the Eels fans to look at for a change

        Gotta save some disappointment for '27

        There's enough in this team currently to disappoint for the next 5 years

Ok but who do you pick tonight? In backline particularly? Before tonight Volkman was doing ok so makes sense to keep him too.

  I mean in general. They need to recruit and potentially give some juniors a run. Go hard on the recruitment and spend the rest of the year testing out whatever juniors are available.

    Go hard on recruitment with nothing on the market? We have to hope someone aggitates for a release like Metcalf. Even then hope no competition.
