Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

It would be frustrating to let one of the best second rowers in the game go in exchange for Curran.

Would weaken our squad significantly.

To release him I’d want Tohu Harris and Fonua-Blake.

Why, why and why ? How many trades happen in the NRL - the correct answer is they don't.

I can't believe people are still falling for this dribble.

He has a contract with us for the next 3 years. He plays here or he doesn't play.

Borders were opening again when he signed man....
Anything he can come up with be all but an excuse not to be here.

If he goes to the Warriors - We're getting someone....
Curran makes sense.
I can't see us holding him here in that instance.

Still think it would be his plan b not to come here...
But you can't begrudge a man his family.

Know they were opening when he signed but he didn't get a chance to enjoy that as they opened after the season kicked off & NRL protocols for squad players didn't change until April/May timeframe.

Sure there have been 6mths between but again being able to shoot across mid week on on bye weeks isn't easy for players to do.

As to us getting someone that player has to agree to wanting to move across to Sydney, It wouldn't surprise me if it's a case of Papa plays 23 and then moves to NZ 24 onwards giving us sometime to use his cash in the buyers market. Would suck but could also see that playing out. Might be why we are willing based on reports to spend 20%+ of our cap on Munster & Mosses.

Just saying the family side could be a real factor in this which I can understand very well.

This is a massive test for Benji and how his persuasive skills play out let alone for new players he has to convince to bring across.

Do you think winning a gf or losing a gf is better for ip at eels. I know there's a contract etc but what do we think would actually be better , Id say winning. Go out on a high having achieved pinnacle with the club etc.

How can the GM of Football for Parramatta, regardless of who he is speak on his behalf.
All this means is they are planning to farewell him from Parramatta at the end of the season.

I still think the move to Warriors is on.

Otherwise he would say when the seasons done I’ll have a break and get ready for off season with Tim and Benji.

Instead he keeps saying he will sit down and talk about his options with his Manager.

The silence from everyone else, I feel is because it has been determined but respectfully cannot be announced until all parties are available for comment.

Great Test for out leadership.

Lets not forget we have one of the Best, Brightest Legal minds as our chairman.

I am fairly confident that Papa will be at the Tigers after his last game for Parra this week.

Great for you to believe it will be a legally enforced outcome.
I believe that compassion and wellbeing will be the deciding factor in the end.
We want players to be happy to play the game or with a team, not to be forced into something that they emotionally cannot commit to.
I understand it opens up a grey area with contracts but in reality it shouldn’t scrap the idea of contracts and the require to honour them at all. It should just make the NRL adjust their logic over an off contract player is one that is unsigned for the following season.

The majority of squad changes occur with the movement of contracted players. So what’s the point of waiting til the final year to deem them as off contract?

"Respectfully" is a strange word to use when used in the context of not moving to Wests tigers.

That HOA was freaken stupid. It just gave JAC and his manager the ability to say to every other club pay us more than this and we will come to you.

Not trying to beat a dead horse here but I'm still not over how Melbourne wanted Nofa in exchange for JAC and Madge/Lee said no, then asked for Talau, who ended up getting injured for the whole season and we ended up loaning Nofa out anyway without anything in return, that stings man 😆
