"I wasn't there LB, but I found it odd to read that Ryles would praise Simonsson in such a forum. I wonder what's behind that? "
"The likelihood of 2 long term injuries at the same time to both of our hookers is pretty low. It would be hard to entice an NRL experienced hooker to come and play reggies for us with no prospect of first grade save for injury to both topliners. …"

"We have constantly be in the market for an outside back. We were last year. We did sign Kelly but could say Lomax out and Kelly in so we are still in the bracket of wanting an outside back.In terms of quality middle, not much available. Those who…"
"I remember a lot here claimed Arthur didn't have final say on his players. I am not as big of a BA hater as many here, but to think Arthur never had too much control on recruitment was farcical. Why not give it to BA but give it to Ryles?

"Agreed, both top players, but Hopgood should not be even close to playing dummy half unless there's a catastrophic injury list. Papalii could work at the 30 & 70 minute mark as relief/impact at best (like origin Cronk in the early days), but not…"
"So does this trial team suggest Russell has inside line on left centre and Simmonson right wing?"

"I think Ryles also saw a club that was searching for someone to set a culture as a benchmark to re-build the club. He knew he had some answers to that from his time at other clubs, and we have already seen the fruits of those efforts in the broader…"
"Chiefy,
Ryles said there were a few niggle injuries during the pre season that kept some players out for 2-3 weeks due to the players pushing the boundaires and working to there limits. A few calves & hammys but nothing to be concered about, quite…"

Great man RIP
Haha Kurupt. Feeling old as I remember that episode like it was last week.
Sad news, i worked with Jack setting up a charity golf day every year for a long time,.
