Absolutely. The way they all stood and watched the ball hit the deck for Nick Meaney, who isn't lighting to scoop and run the length, must be a huge concern for Ryles.

As bad as the Cowboys were, they weren’t this bad, and they got more of the ball.

He’s not even trying to inject himself into the game through. He is nowhere. Volkmen has been way more involved. We don’t need a 5/8 we have fletch sharpe. We need a 7!

That sharks game was one of the worst days of my childhood we got absolutely spanked that day. We had Joey and everyone.

I’m of a different opinion as far as who runs things, 7 or 6. Yes the guy steering the ship is 7 generally but if nothing is working in a good team, one or the other steps up and takes control. Those numbers are interchangeable for Melbourne, Penrith or any team wanting to win.
Just would like to see him push the other guy aside and grab what’s left of this by the throat.
Yep it was the stuff of everlasting childhood trauma lol.

Not saying he’s been good but don’t think there’s many halves that would be doing much better today. The team ran into an absolute buzz saw.
Yeah as much as I think the Knights would be much more competitive I don't think there's any whiteboard at the Knights Centre of Excellence with 2pts against the Storm pencilled in.
That last try in the 2nd half with the around the back the scrum was pure skill, speed, timing and coaching.

If you exclude touches of the ball which are just getting the ball to put up a kick, so far Brown has 32 and Volkman has 26. Hughes also has 32 (I can see he’s just come off the field though).
Not saying he’s taking the game by the scruff of the neck by any means and yeah he’s definitely just going through the motions a bit, but I don’t think we’re chasing him with a mind that he’ll be on the ball all the time and scrap for everything even when we’re losing by 30+.
It’s about adding a player who has an elite level of natural ability due to a belief that we’d be adding that to what is already a well-functioning & highly engaged team with a lot of non-spine talent. If you still don’t think it’s the right move on that count, fine, but I’d be surprised if the Knights want him because they think he’s a super intense effort merchant.

He was the one player absolutely sprinting down in defence when Hughes scored under the posts. Came up with air, but the effort was there to get back.
You realise we are supposedly offering 1.3 mill a season

Ah well that’s easily worth over a million a year
I jest mate, it’s only round one against a team that wants revenge for a grand final loss. Tall order for any side

Biggest concern is Volkmann doing all the kicking.

Brown assist, give him 1.3!
Just replying to those saying he's not putting in an effort or getting involved, etc.Ah well that’s easily worth over a million a year

Yeah agree with that slots. The weird thing about that is that Dylan *can* kick. Quite well. He just doesn’t a lot of the time. That is 100% my biggest reservation about him.

There’s five more rounds to prove himself without Moses. They are playing Tigers next week.
