"Would've made him shave it off turning up to pre season like that. Smith would be licking his lips"
"TDS is still young, with plenty of improvement left in him. He could still play Flegg in 2026 ffs. And despite being two years younger than Ryley Smith, he has played nine more NRL games."
"So if you don't rate him why put him in lower grades for time? If you don't rate him time in lower grades won't matter."
"HFK, Fair point. Sure, we could. But balancing incoming youth with experience is almost a perennial issue. A constant cycle. It never really goes away. At least not for too long. "

He might not be anything special but he is something Asi and Volkman aren't and that's a real halfback. He won't only give the team better direction, his kicking should be better (choices and execution)
Hawkins is your average old fashioned 7 who can play 6 ok. He has a better kicking game than Volkman and Brown so that's the main thing we should take out of it.
Ok that may be the case, there are a lot of players that excel in reserves but look very average in first grade and can't handle the step up. Don't get me wrong I'm hoping he has a cracker but I'm just going by what I recall from him at Souths
Dafuq is Ryles doing? He might ne a plant from a rival club

Not sure if it's mentioned but JAC and matto both haven't been named in the cup team. Suggest some late inclusions
How come Addo not playing im starting to think Jason Ryles Wanrs us to come dead last with no win you name your best players Available
Like Addo Matterson Cartwright
Cartwright potentially being one of our best players is a big part of our problems.
Agreed
With Moses out we are lacking LEADERSHIP.
Dylan Brown is not a leader, he's not even commited to the club, Junior may be a captain but he's never been a leader. He can barely articulate himself.
With Gutho are RCG who would rally their team mates gone, the new players don't know who to look up to for advice. Hopgood has only been with the team for a season but doesnt have the gravitas (yet).
I reme the Fox being very vocal when he went to the dogs. He's someone that out youngers players look towards for guidance.
Ryles must be given his time to fix the team. If anything, with Moses out, it's never going to be easy for anyone. Not even Bennett.
If anything, Ryles has been let down by the more experienced players (JP, Joe O, Penisini, Brown)
The Dogs only won 8 games in 2023. Don't forget that and they had JAC, Burton, Mahoney, Kikau, TPJ among other local talent such as Kiraz, Preston and Averillo.
