"Well if you look at Iongi, Rogers brought it up to him and he wanted him.
Kautoga he wanted.
He wanted Williams.
Those two he said in interviews he chased as soon as getting the job.
Walker was a MON suggestion and Ryles wanted that type for his…"

"I didn't read much, but will agree with the blog sentiment of sack everyone involved with R&R."
"Yeah good question LB. I really rate what Ryles has done with what most clubs would see as a second grade team to be honest. The culture and the changes he has made have been enormous. The spirit and the fight in guys getting trounced each week is…"
"What have they done well LB just curious.
If we are talking development who have we brought through our pathways better than DB in MoNs reign.
Are the players we are bringing anything better than what's on offer in the nrl right now I'm not sure we…"

"Adam, it can feel like that, but we all want the same thing. Each to their own. Social media is often 'the sky is falling in' when you're losing and Eels fans are already in trauma mode from 1987.

"PG, NOS propduced this well-written piece. I can't take any credit whatsoever mate. But I like your kind words to NOS."
"The only thing I could come up with is he isn't bothered what or where a player is in there career.Concentrates on what they add as they are currently doesn't listen to the outside noise and players seemingly repay the favour."
"Though BE, you say look after his career. What other clubs, other than perhaps Melbourne, would want him? They'll see his record and might think differently. Who knows they may think he will be better that their club but I just don't see many teams…"
"Yeah all the Ryles jump ship talk, though not 0%, I feel is extremely unlikely. Considering how hard he pushed for this job."
"I think we keep one of Hopgood and Williams beyond 2027. Doorey, Moretti and Edwards also finish in 2027. That pack for 2028 plus Coinakis or Ryley/Funa-Iuta/NEW PROP/Hopgood and Guymer/Kautoga as the other options should be the plan.
It's really…"

"Well we seem to be having a crack at Jenkins and Leniu, rumoured Burton."
"Good point on 3 Poppa. Has Ryles developed enough to realise he is in trouble if he doesn't speak up and push for more key signings? Does he step in and say just give them 4 years and we will deal later just need a top tier signing to attract…"
"LB are you saying that Jason Ryles has got his fair share of players via R&R signings."
"I don't see losing Ryles as a possibility. Not 0% but I doubt it.
If he does resign, I would be very surprised, but I don't see him doing that as he really wanted the Eels job."

"Great and fair blog NOS, as usual. The recruitment talk is telling, I have said in the past I if MON and co. Are to go, it's Ryles who will more likely have to push the process forward. I know he shouldn't have to but think that's what it would…"
"NOS, great to see you posting again, and what a post. I could read your thoughts on the state of the Eels all day. Your humility and Diplomatic expressions are very notable and straight to the point. We can all draw our own conclusions from your…"

This man "THE CROW" is my all time fav EEL. When I played rep league as a youngster I tried to mould my gam and goal kicking around him
Very classy player and man 👏🏻👏🏻👊😎
Theres the carlo kiss of death right there.
Mick, please be safe in the next few days/weeks.
😆😆😆 far out lol
Bit overrated though, wouldnt want him kicking a goal to save your life.
Wouldnt want him coaching to save your life either
i was just throwing out a few crumbs HKF, looking for a nibble
Nice one Garry, good to see you got out ok, rumoured to be a few bodies buried under the Gerringong.
Your opionion mate. To be honest It was mentioned by the rep coach back in 84 when I played school rep footy that I played a bit similar to the crow. My all time fav and always will be
There is a reason he is the first "Champion" of Parramatta. Played in all of our Grand Final wins. One of the all time greats and worthy of Immortal status. I laugh at anyone who knocks him as a goal kicker. He held the all time ARL/NRL point scoring record for years kicking leather balls from sand mounds. More importantly, a champion human being. Great photo Garry.
Also needs to be remembered he didn't start playing NSWRL until he was 26 so his total points scored could have been higher if he started earlier.
