Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Honestly hope we have picked up the phone to Burton's manager. While we're at it, we need to be speaking to Angus Crichton's.

We need a couple of pigs too. I'd be putting feelers out to Jordan McLean. Averages 115m a game in about 45 mins and is reasonable in defence.

I'm against extending Tamou in principle because he dogged it all last year.

Eels offering Mattherson $2.5M smells of desperation.

insane

I know he left us on bad terms but he is just what we need , he played his best football here . If the slimmmy eels are offering him $625,000 per season , then I would offer $660,000 per season , if we don’t get him at least the slimmmy eels will have to up there offer . Would give us a great backrow matterson , papa and joe , with blore and a young bloke at back up

Matterson is a good footballer but we don’t need him here , he showed what kind of bloke he was when he bailed on us

Like your thinking. Make Eels and/or Dolphins pay top dollar for him.

I get that , but do we want to make the finals or do we just continue along this path which leads no where , sometimes u have to do things that u know is not right but u know u can’t get there other wise . And let’s face it we have been knocked back so many times , there’s not any better players out there . I just want to see the tigers with a big strong pack I don’t give a damn what there past as all as they deliver on the park

There's not a chance in hell that Matterson would come back here. He couldn't wait to get out

 

[batboy]

Parra see their premiership window disappearing at the end of the year so big overpayment to try and keep a player who's best form is behind him

He's playing Origin!!

No-one else here likes him either, But be a little reasonable.

Matterson is a 600-650k player imo and that is only when he is playing at his best.800+ a year (if accurate) is way overs

The eels offer is reportedly 2.5 million over four years so nowhere near $800k

As much as I hate the guy I think that’s a pretty fair offer. If he didn’t have the history he has here I’d be happy to pay that.

The Eels are offering Matterson more per season than the Tigers are paying for Papali’i who is a better player and 4 years younger.

Tells you everything you need to know about the direction of recruitment and retention at Parra.

Not only that - Matterson has been MIA, and surprise, surprise, starts to hit some form at contract time. It's the classic Bronson Harrison approach to football.

Funny you mentioned Bronson Harrison, I saw him at the Tigers/Souths game, looks like he could still play, obviously hasn't let himself go after footy.

I stand corrected,i thought the offer was over 3 years that is why i said it was overs

Na man, Bronson was a beast for his first few years at the Raiders...

Sheens job is to get the best team possible together, the coach is to bring them together and win regardless of their personalities and morals.

Next year we are currently struggling to name anyone to line up beside Papa.
Blore if he can get out of the injury ward and then its a lucky dip.

Matto would be an instant walk up starter regardless if Blore is fit. We have no one else atm.

To say we don't need him here with our roster for next year is a very interesting call....

I don't want him but if he signed right I wouldn't be upset, at least we will be stronger next year than we are this year.

Can't believe they let Reed Mahoney go. He's the kind of player you find money in your cap for.

Apparently Reed is not a nice person at all. That's from someone who played with him in the lower grades.

No wonder he goes well with Mitch Moses and Queen Gutho
