        • Well Matto and Hands going frees up maybe a player to buy. What they don't want to do is sign a player then Matto and Hands stays and means we have no money to re-sign a player we want to keep. Better safe than sorry.

          Plus I reckon the club do not want to show their hand that they are heavily in the market.

          • Simmonson might free up a spot.

      • Yep makes zero sense re the money. I get the top 30 spots, the money just isn't adding up.

        • 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. 

  • 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.
