Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I think if we sign Nathan Brown & John Bateman we can make the semis. Fowards win matches and if we get them two we will have one of the best forward packs in the competition and that will help Luke Brooks and Adam Douiehi to improve their respective games have some faith in Sheensy he knows what he is doing.

Sorry unless the backs make a uge turn and the halves can actually put up some try assists I can't see us making it. 10-12 this year for me. If we get Moses and another decent back then we will most likely be there in ,2024
 
?????? - A six year option? FFS

"The Parramatta Eels have received a huge boost, with star five-eighth Dylan Brown extending with the club until at least the end of the 2025 season.

Brown’s extension was announced by the Eels on Monday morning, with an option in the 22-year-old’s favour to remain at Parramatta until 2031.
Must be a typo. No way are they that dumb. Imagine in two years if hes playing poorly but can take up yearly extensions on big money? Bahaha hope it's true.
 
There will be lots more linked to the Dogs... papers just making it up to fill space or agents using their name to promote their player. Every player used to be linked to the Roosters and they realised how close they were flying to the sun. Now its the Dogs turn.
Hope Gus used wax to fix his wings and other similar such dumb things.
 
What concerns is me how long the deal can potentially span out too..... the more years you'd assume means a little less per year due to how long the security is which could help them get Moses too

Brown is almost a carbon copy of Johnston, brilliant one day, and asleep the next. Moses set up nearly all their attacking moves, and Brown played off the back of him. He will not be the same player without Moses calling the shots, AND THE EELS KNOW IT. They will give Moses what he wants. Sad to say!

The Eels know it? That's why have given him the option of a 6 year extension on his contract?

He is a good player in his own right. Yes, still needs to find consistency, but if/when he does, he will be taking a huge leap. He's a great young player who will keep developing.
 
Interesting article here on Munster's reason for staying with Melbourne - a reason I agree with too.

But he goes on to say this, at the bottom of the page, which potentially means his move was between Tigers, and Storm..

“I was legit just waiting until November to have a look at my options and see what options I had. There was lots of speculation about Redcliffe but I didn’t have any formal offers.”

His consistency was what i was referring too, and i don't think he's ready as a leader, if ever.
Moses is the leader at that club, and Brown would be lost without him there,. Not to say he would not play well,but the whole side would find it a lot harder without Moses.

Most clubs would find it a lot harder without their halfback.

Except maybe us, who would probably be better off.
 
A lot of us are thinking Browns deal is pretty silly with the two 3 year extensions, but they kick in in 2026 if he takes the option, I'm wondering if Browns contract has been structured in this really bizarre way to back end his deal to re-sign Moses on a 2 year extension ending in 2026. The money they save on Browns deal is used to top up Moses for 2 years by which time they don't care if he moves on because he is in his early 30s get a cheap foil for Brown who takes charge of the team by then enacting his first 3 year extension whereby the excess money saved by signing a junior or cheaper replacement for Moses is given to Brown for taking unders in the first two years of the deal to keep Moses there. Just my 2 cents.
