"I'm not sure why you think it was a risk for him to take the Parra job. It's more of a risk to take over from Bellamy. 20 years of being in the top 8 versus a team that had plenty of room for growth. There was no risk in taking the Parra job"
"Yep I reckon if he makes finals we extend til 2030 at least."
"Well that's the thing, if he badly wanted the Storm job he could have waited and been in the system. Why go to Eels and risk being sacked and ruining your chances altogether?"
"Thing is, yes Chief you make a great point, his family live in Wollongong. Always have. When he got the Parramatta job his family threw a street party as he was going to be home more often.
When he worked for Melbourne his wife and kids stayed in…"

"They were saying on the Kenty Podcast that Cam Smith going to the Bronco's was about getting the experience required to fill Bellamy's shoes when he finally retires. His kids will probably have left school by the time Bellamy finally retires so it…"
"Isn't he contracted here until end of 2029. Given our contract stance with Lomax, I can't see us letting him go if the club is getting into the finals etc.
Sorry, should have Googled first. End 2028 only."

"Surely Rylesy won't want to live in that shit hole again"
"There's no upside to going to Melbourne and trying to fill those big shoes. Look at Man U since fergie retired. You're on an absolute hiding to nothing. If he takes us to the promised land he will be as revered as Jack Gibson"
"This has all played out way too quickly for PVL to have had much say. The only thing PVL has said so far is he would of liked to get a deal done. Things then went legal and PVL would not be able to make any public comment right now. He will wait for…"

"No but it has Telopea. Same same"
"I honestly don't see any valid points that favour Lomax or the Storm. The Storm were in negotiations with Lomax whilst he was still playing for the Eels. As well as Lomax in discussion with R360 whilst he was still playing for the Eels and under…"

But let's see anyway. If Ryles improves us again this year I'd go into contract talks with him next off season. "

ANY MORE SIGNINGS???
I've been frustrated recently about the work we have been doing in the open market. Jonah's alright for a year and JDB is solid but he's getting old. I feel we need more in the forwards and some a replacement outside back. All I have seen is links…

Bellamy extends 2028 - Ryles finishes 2028
Melbourne will have their eyes on Ryles there's absolutely no doubt. If i were Sarantinos and the board I'd be in talks right now to extend Ryles. Ryles will turn this club around the longer he is here the better we'll get. Every player he's…

There is no doubt he is a phenomenon. Averages 64, which is second only to the Don. And the most unusual thing about him is the way he bats, which defies modern techniques.
Here is an interesting bit of trivia for you. He has now scored 6 ashes hundreds in England. No England player has ever scored that many in England.
When you take out the first dozen or so tests when he was actually selected as a bowler his average is in the 80 plus area.
Who is he?
LOL
He's definately special. Teams just can't find a way to get him out.
His technique is not in the cricketing books. Neither was Bradman's though.
Watched his whole innings last night/early this morning and his technique and mental fortitude is right outside of the ordinary. Nothing flamboyant about him, just goes on with his business and rarely faiis.
He came into this season having miseed the first 7 months due to suspension and in a few months became the number 1 scoring batsman in the world of test cricket.
FMD, a 7 months handicap given to all test cricketers and he is now starting to blow them all out of the water, and all this after being terribly knocked out in the 2nd test and not playing in the 3rd test.
FMD. Just wow, wow, wow, wowwwwwwwwww.
The guy is a freak, watching him plkay is not like anything you will see in world sport anywhere, he is a different charachter that's for sure but man is he good.
Exactly Snake. I think Smith is the best batsman we've had since Bradman. Bats outside the box. So skilled, yet eccentric and unothodox.
Didn't expect it when I first saw him play. Looked awkward at first.
I must admit I was a huge fan of the Great West Indian top 3. Greenidge, Hayne, and Viv.
Viv Richards is one of my all time favourite batsman. He was the gum-chewing King Of The Jungle. Never even wore a helmet. Oozed confidence, skill and domination.
No idea who he is , but if he wears New Balance he better stay the fuck away from my kids .
Weak lilly livered piece of SHIT! and now we call him a hero.
No wonder this country is fuct.
There for his own glory and pay packet.
Bit like the NRL putting the wife bashers up as the game's heroes.
