Also, if we can get jag a win against the Dragons this Saturday then another 2 points with the bye up next, we'll have a host of players coming back from injury and suspension including
Moses, Sam Tuivaiti, Moretti, Bailey Simonsson, Ritchie penasini, Ryley Smith most of them due back after the bye.
A run for the 8 is not out of the question

Great Post Muttman. Your post could be a blog on its own. It will take time to gain those players Ryles wants without doubt. But slowly he'll get there.
The next 12-18 months will tell a story.
We definitely need a influx of talent in our spine and fowards.
We also need a new S & C coach because he's off back to NZ and we need that more so to protect us from injury.That's been a telling sign for us the last 3 seasons including this one.
Jim MoN Beech and co the balls in your court if we aren't structually set up enough to compete in the next year or 2 we'll be coach hunting again if we aren't careful and since your jobs are safe I suggest you engage foward gears and get us moving in the right direction.
There's part of the story being told now with the style of play and the improvements in our defensive structures.
Ryles is making the calls around recruitment . The Iongi move many thought letting Gutherson go wasn't a good decision, but wow the critics are eating their words right now.
Go back to the blog re announcement of Jack Williams signing with us. I think it's fair to say the majority were sceptical at best. Moving ahead to now and people are saying we should replicate him going forward.
Same goes for the comments from the opening month of the competition re Iongi, people have completely changed their tune all in the space of a few months. A bit of foresight is needed, Ryles knows what he is doing.
Yes Adam and I said it at the time, they didn't know what we were getting.I watched him closely at Cronulla and could not believe they let him go. He was an outstanding signing and personally I was a bit disappointed in his first few games (injury during preseason) but he hasn't let me down, I even suggested to a good mate I think he will make a better edge than a middle. Seems he can handle both at the same time now.
URGENT ATHLETICISM every player we recruit should have this component.
Well just in a few months our defence has improved out of sight, we slide a lot better in defence and we don't have players running out of the line, our attack has improved a lot, for the players we had on the weekend to score 36 was very impressive, it's a long year but with players coming back from injury we should go up another gear. Ryles is doing a great job, and you can see that in our lower grades, where we are in the top 4 in flegg and cup.
Loved what he said or close to it, when you put on that jersey & have that badge on your chest. You need to step up & play your best for that game. He has them all believing in themselves. He knows he heading in the right direction, people are not talking about the eels & how good they are playing.
I understand that you have guesstimated the amounts but in reality and for this season most of these would be getting more as we are obliged to spend 95% of the cap.
Yes I understand that but with the amount of injuries we have atm, and having Lane, Matterson, Cartwright and Ofehengaue who are either not available or have left, these players still account for a large chunk of our cap.
