This may age terribly , he may put egg on my face. Let's hope so. But I swear everytime this guy enters the game our attack just goes from hero to zero. How can a team transform so negatively from one dude taking the paddock ?

His game needs to change whenever Moses is at #7. Moses wants quick ball passed directly from the ground. TDS likes to ball play before he passes the ball. This should be worked on during the pre-season. I have confidence that TDS will become a really effective #9 in time.
Wiz , Taylan is getting used to our systems. 8 weeks isn't long enough for him to know the style Ryles wants, especially in a key position.
The team needed 5 months under Ryles to finally click and you're expecting Taylan to click after 7 or 8 weeks.
Its not only attack also, in defence it took a similar time for the players to gain confidence the Ryles way
After an off season im sure Taylan will.be up to speed with everything and improved. He did show some good signs with his running game, but its noticeable he needs more time to gain confidence and cohesion
As usual none of you dills understand the issue, its not so much TDS's fault it is just that Rylie Smith is so bloody good, effective and industrious.....its not about who replaces him, its about the fact he is no longer on.
Fuck you guys are slow...... I cannot believe the way you guys try and justify something, then come up with the " preseason will fix it"........ do you think if Lussick, Hands, or the Boogie Man came on it would make any difference?.....its Rylie coming off !!!.....TDS will just have to learn what Rylie does so that he can cover him.
PS anyone who saw the last test match in the pacific nations last year should take note.....you would have noticed Harry Grant gave Moses nothing......i.e the best hooker in the game could not make Moses look better. One of the same principles as to why Nathan Cleary does not look so hot in Origin if the service from his hooker is shit!
Its about combinations!!!
We need TDS to work. We can't have Smith playing 80mins every week, he'll be burnt out well before seasons end. People tend to forget that TDS is still very young, not much experience, but the way some carry on, they expect him to be a superstar, he's far from it. Our team for next year is just about locked down, our backline is set, our forward pack could maybe do with one more middle, but apart from that I think we will only purchase a fill in or two.
Pops ffs he is ryley
it's driving me mad your spelling !!!! 🤪🤪🤪🤣
TDS came on after the break which gave knights a chance to regather catch their breath and go with us for another 20minutes before we got back on top of them again... during that time where we didnt score (48-72minute) i think we blew 3-4 chance which none were TDS fault most were papalii and lomax faults not finishing off our attack... just cos a sub is made its not one players fault, nor is ryley the sole source of our attach most of our tries were individual brilliance from fox and moses
He needs to spend less time on his manicured eyebrows and more on basic skills....he is young and does have talent ....but a lot of work ahead of him....maybe Ruley can help him ...anyway Wiz was a great way to end the season and to think what might have been with three more wins...
Remember too that when he's on we generally have the full bench on the field too. I feel he'll come good over the off-season, and I have seen some potential coming through. Agreed though, at the moment Smith is providing the go forward.
TDS showed a few glimpses of why he's been picked. He's a running 9, but doesn't have the game awareness of Ryley and doesn't create for his team.. yet. Picking Ryles is hoping he can develop him over the offseason to have more dimensions to his game. Personally I'm a big Ryley fan, he seems to have a good attitude. The type of player you build around. I hope he kicks on and develops his running game.
