  Whats happening with Tyran Wishart, I heard he was going to resign with Storm at the beginning of the year but hasn't and ever since then he been only playing around 20 minutes a game even when the storm smashed tigers he only played around 25 minutes when they took off their stars.

  1. As I said before, Galvin would've been nice but I still would've preferred not signing a 6.

  2. If we had to, my option would've been someone older or more versatile, so we can keep developing the halves already here, whether older ones like Papalii, Volkman, Lynn and more importantly Twiddle (who I think is the one) or the likes of Talataina and Fletcher. 

  3. Which brings me to Sandon Smith, who can play 6, 7 and 13. And kicks goals. I think he'd be quite a good addition and can cover Dylan Walker too. 

  On another note, I am also just not what the Dogs wanna do with Galvin? Him and Burton halves? They must've promised him th e7 jersey for him to go.

  I am backing Ryles in.

  The players will come. All teams are seeing what is happening at Parramatta. Centre of Excellence, playing good football and processes are stating to work. 
  
  

  Top 8 this year and a premiership within 5. 
  
  

  I am glad we missed Galvin, a lot of money for a snotty kid.

  It makes 2026 a problem for sure. 
  Ok we name a young guy like Joash or Volkman. You now have yet another rookie in a key position. In a squad already teeming with rookies. We'll be another few years waiting for them to get the experience necessary. 
  You name a more experienced player who isn't a 5/8 typically and suddenly you have a player learning the ropes. 
  The bottom line is the Eels have lost Brown and Talagi, and couldn't sign Galvin. The R&R have shit the bed here.

    Still a lot of money to spend I'm sure Ryles and his team are evaluating what options there are for next year. Let's just focus on this season and improving each game. Brown and Moses still have 15 or so games together and that's better then most teams halves

      They're evaluating that now because they literally don't have any choice. We've gone from having the current NZ 5/8 plus a locally developed product in the lower grades to having nothing. That's just incompetence.

        I'm throwing Walker into 6 next year if there isn't a replacement ready made on the market.

  I am pissed about a few things:

  • How does Gus always get what he wants. Fair game it may be but fuck it's annoying when it's against your club. Whether it's his power in the media or ability to convince people with utter shit.
  • How does our RR team always fail ffs. We got Lomax but from memory was there any competition? JR has been doing a good job but nothing will come from it if the people above him our shit
  • I respect Galvin for deciding to chose money over being a better footy player. The money the tigers threw at him were crazy. But how the fuck does he think dogs are a better place than eels. Yes dogs are building a great system but their halves have been average. When have they developed a half recently lol. Wakeham? Lewis? Averillo? lol the list goes on. Burton has barely grown as a player since leaving Panthers. He has always had a big boot and a decent running game. But every other part of this game is still average. Zero playmaking, short kicking or accuracy. Sexton is just fitting into a dogs system and always had the skills he is showing now. Titans were just shit. Eels have developed Moses into a top halfback who won an origin decide in qld. And as much as we give Brown shit, he is the NZ 5/8 and was key for them beating Australia 2 years ago. Something just doesn't feel good about it.

  Volkman next cab of the rank.

  Twiddle is probably looks a similar player to Galvin in the jnr highlights. 

   

  Lorenzo by all reports is a Laurie Daley type player very explosive and hits hard in d.
