      It seems weird ...the money part would be due to clubs mandated to spend 95% of the cap each year. So, even though all those high paid players left. We have only saved max. 5% this year.
      
      Upgrades, forward loading and paying overs to new recruits make up most I am guessing.
      
      We only saved parts of those who left or loaned out mid season as well.

I have no idea if Ryles will succeed in terms of winning us a GF , but he gives me confidence that Parramatta has the right coach .

  It brings the decision into hindsight that out of those available we may have got the best option. Doesn't mean he will win comps but out of all the coaches we were looking at or were linked to:
  
  Wayne Bennett
  
  Josh Hannay
  
  Dean Young
  
  Michael Maguire
  
  Michael Cheika
  
  To name a few, Ryles seems to be the better option out of all of them.

    Another way of looking at it is that Ryles has exceeded our expectations and hindsight tells me he is proving to be much better than any of those choices, including Bennett.
    
    I would love Michael Cheika as Head of Football, notwithstanding!

JR really visited them in the studio for a 5-10min interview lol

  I do wonder, do they get paid for appearing on shows like 360.

    I doubt it. Would be part of the job. But yeah I feel a online zoom or something would be more appropriate for how long JR was on the show lol.
