maybe daine Laurie follows ciraldo to dogs

I posted what I expected to be the full strength 17 ....

It's very weak.

Hoping some signings are getting worked out

Brad Arthur on NRL 360 said he's still hopeful that Papali'i will stay at the Eels....

Not looking great.... I really don't think it's over.

Also said it’s up to the Tigers. Worrying sign when our head honchos have anything to do with anything.

What a grub discussing contracted players on TV.

he says - I'm still hopeful....

I think IF his manager has contacted the club and put it to rest, It's only a front to take the Heat off the Kid.

It's not over, Because Parra don't want it to be over....
They're losing a few back rowers and not signing any....

They didn't even go after Crichton - They're not going for anyone, Because they have their someone.... They're just trying to make it happen.

Yep saw that. He actually said "it's really the Tigers call" Um, BA, the Tigers have his signature on a contract. He's going to Concord folks!

Is this full strength 2023 ?

1 Daine Laurie
2 Starford Toa (Nofo, IF he returns)
3 AJ Kepoa
4 Brent Naden
5 Ken Maumalo
6 Adam Douihei
7 Jock Madden or Luke Brooks
8 Joe Ofahengauie
9 Api Korosau
10 Stefano Utoikamanu
11 Shawn Blore
12 Isahia Papali'i
13 Jackson Hastings

14 Alex Twal
15 Fonua Pole
16 Zane Musgrove
17 Alex Seyfarth / Tommy Talau

Yep how I see it too. Think you need talau on the bench though to cover the backs as neither Blore or papilii could if/when there’s an injury. If you went that way though, means joffa is covering back row f there’s an injury which is less than ideal.

That roster is less than ideal, in general...

Papalii and Koro are obviously huge INS
But it's still not a balanced squad at all.

The Eels should be done with tempering .. Its a f@#king joke now

Expect the unexpected with sheens

Just hope there's something in the works eh.

He won't die wondering

 

[stryker 69]

Highly unlikely but Just seen some Brent Read quote, “Stephen Crichton would love to be a fullback” then said something about the bulldogs would be an option so my brain switched off as soon as I read bulldogs, but might as well bring some chat to the forum it’s been pretty quiet….would you mob throw coin at him to get him over to the tigers ?

Not a lot. Think Laurie adds more at fullback.

 

[supercoach]

Till we actually get a game breaker into the 1 6 or 7 we will struggle. Look at the Storm they have Munster mixed with a backline that at present is not anything special.

Brooks,AD or Laurie will never own a game or turn a game on its head. You only need one great player, I guess we will have to see what the pathways delivers

 

[Garrry]

Brad Arthur is desperate to save his job, starting to sound desperate, when tiger's signed Stef did he do the tigers any favors.

NRL really is turning into a piece of crap sport. There's no heart or soul left in the game, it's just a corrupt business that relies on long term fans for support. I'm really starting to lose interest in the game and don't look forward to the weekends games anymore.

I once read .... the government taxes us and screws us over every way they can,
Then they give us sport to keep us distracted.

😅😂

The NRL is a product & like most products, it eventually loses its shine.
