Ryles deserves some praise

[Guest]

Yep , we all thought the Purchase / Use of Ryles at the beginning of the season was, to say the least a questionable decision, I can remember peole saying that is was dogs body etc and I must admit I had my doubts at the time but has this man stood up and proved us all wrong.

he has become a reliable team back bone player and I think he is one of the reasons for our soild forward attack. I like him and I think hes doing a great job ..

Well said Walshie, Ryles certainly proved that loon melon wrong.

Chook.

I always rated him as one of the better props in the game. I was very happy with the signing.

Me, too. A gilt-edged investment. He's playing the exact same role that Paul Dunn played in 1996 - another rebuilding year. In fact, I can see a lot of parallels between Easts in 2010 and Easts in 1996. Back then we had Brad Fittler in his first year at the club, and this year Carney is playing that role.

I thought Ryles was going to be a decent signing, playing a leadership role not only for the forwards but the whole team, being our experienced forward which is what we needed after Fitzy left etc, but i have been surprised how good a signing he was and at the level he hes been playing at. It really was one of the very few, good, smart signings we have made in recent times.

Does anyone know how many penalties he has given away this year?? Everybody was saying he gives a few away every game. I haven't seen him give many away!!

6 penalties.

Thanks BigMike, Great stuff Ryles!!!

Don't be confused he could be a nutcase when with StMerge and was ill disciplined, all fact.
But he has matured and has been a sensational buy
and proved me very wrong thankfully

Ryles has been outstanding , man of the match against Canberra, hopefully next Sunday he will silence some of his harshest critics.
