'That's ridiculous': Mark Riddell rubbishes reports Jason Ryles can't sign Storm players for 12 months

Parramatta having a disappointing season. They're virtually running out of players, let's put it bluntly. Clint Kidd...

Clint Gutherson, he's the fullback. There's been a lot of talk about Blaise Talangi, right, and whether he's going to be the long-term fullback, but King Gutho adds so much to this football side. He does. He's the heart and soul of their team, and he has been for most of the year. He's had to carry the burden. Obviously, Mitch Moses was out with that foot injury for a long part of the season, and now he's out with the biceps injury. So a lot of the...

the weight has fallen on his shoulders and it's been a very, very tough year but you can never question his commitment and his dedication and look, he is a team man. I know...

There has been talk about him, you know, potentially moving, but he'll do whatever's best for the club and he'll get on with the job. That's the type of bloke he is. Can I just say on the Parramatta Club, and I think I said this to Sam earlier on, like, at the moment for Parramatta, there's all this talk, oh, the Governing's going to move, Governing's going to move. At the moment...

The goal is they obviously want to re-sign Blaze Tulangi. And they've got to do and say whatever they can to make sure they can sign Blaze Tulangi. Then they'll go into the pre-season in November. And then over that next four or five months, then they'll work out what is the best situation for the team moving forward for 2025. I think there's just a bit of hot air at the moment in regards to that. Another thing I want to get out there as well is there was some misinformation recently

During the week I think it was during the week About Jason Riles Being unable to sign Any Melbourne Storm players For 12 months Not unable to sign Any staff From Melbourne Storm For 12 months That's ridiculous That's not Not on the table It was never mentioned When they had the release So He's all well and good Just like every other club is To go and sign Players from Melbourne Staff from Melbourne And

It was just put out there last week and it was a load of rubbish. Just on the whole Blaise Delonghi thing, I'm glad you've cleared that up because I read the comments from Trent Barrett where he's suggesting that, you know, Clint's going nowhere, Gutherson will be the fullback. I'm thinking to myself, he's the interim coach, he's about to leave the club. That's a decision for Jason Riles to make. So I'm glad you've cleared that up. Thank you, Piggy.
