Why doubt Ryles ?

Lot of fans are upset with the one year Pezet deal, and I understand that. But let's look at the calls Ryles has made since joining the club.

Gutho and RCG getting moved on immediately got some backlash as well, big call but Ryles was correct. Lot of people didn't like this at the time. 

Brought in his own group of players that fit the system he wants to play, might not be big names but they fit the style. Jack Williams Dylan Walker types. 

Sean Russell the most hated eel on the roster. Ryles has given him the confidence to be a starter. He's taken that and run with it. 

Give this loan with Pezet thing a chance and let's see what else happens around that before throwing all the toys out of the cot.

      • you don't know that he can play 5/8 as well?

        Player called Darren Lockyer was a full back, guess what, he could play 5/8 as well.

        • Lockyer is the prime example but if that rationale is the case, why didn't Hayne work at 5/8? Ponga? Two world class Fullbacks who failed in their move to 5/8. Just cause he can play Fullback doesn't mean he will be a great 5/8. Not saying Joash cannot turn into a 5/8, but using that notion is false. 

          It is an issue with not just us but NRL fans, when there is a great Fullback, the talk turns to "Let's put him into the halves".

        • Locky was also halves level smart and he had a brilliant coach.  Makes a huge difference. There's been for more fullbacks fail at the transition than have been successful.

          • LB, you and Wiz are so orientated to proving something that doesn't need to be said.

            I could tell you why Hayne was no good as a 5/8 and equally but for a different reason that Ponga was not succesful.

            BUT you miss my point in context.....I said in response to Yeah Man saying "joash" is a fullback! as if nothing else.

            I then said you know "he can play 5/8' as well and quoted Lockyer !!

            What do you and Wiz do, not question Joash as being maybe something other than a fullback but lecture me on past failures....wheras in the last 70 years of watching football I have maybe seen a lot that fall into both categories. 

            Maybe you should have qualified your statements with in "case you have dementia Poppa" this happened! Perfectly understood on such a basis.

  • I do understand a bit more now footy Dean is going but last year was all about players committing to the club and the jersey seeing a guy doing one year then going to the donkies of all clubs after a full year of development put in by Parra kind of stinks I like Ryles and his coaching is starting to show improvement in the team especially defence but I just can't see this being accepted by the faithful if he is back up only and not taking the 6 spot maybe 

  • 100% no notes! Thank the heavens there is some sense starting to prevail. 

    He has turned a basket case into a serious threat in 12 months.

     

    • Here's the thing but, injuries happen in the nrl. If Iongi picks up something Joash into flb and Pezet is there for 6. If Moses is hurt Pezet to 7 Joash to 6 and so on. He's going to help us 

  • If he wanted a stop gap why not sign a versatile player like Averillo or whoever that can play 6 then move him into centre or wing when our juniors is ready. Atleast someone like that can benefit us after one year and provide coverage for that position if injuries come. I would have rather did that then sign a potential player to learn of us. Even Braith said it doesn't help our future

    • And apparently Tino is hitting the market come November 1 if we somehow, by some small miracle are able to sign him, I would be more happier

      • Melbourne or Parra lol I mean is it even a choice.
