          • 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.

"NOS, Spot on. Ryles has shown he has no fear in giving rookies a go. Let's not over dramatize. But he’s not going to hand out full-time NRL gigs just because of a 19th birthday. That gung-ho romanticism, though fan-friendly, isnt always the way.

"No lady friends atm, that's probably why I'm so frustrated lol.
The 9ers have too many injuries to be a serious threat, every week they lose another 2-3 defensive players just as they are starting to get some of their offence back."
