Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[THE_POM]

thanks Pom
Any updates on positions for 2023 ? AD at 6? Laurie at 6? Staines at 1 ?

Good idea in the next 2 weeks. But Laurie has played a fair part of the pre-season in the halves.

Jesse Ramien will stay at Cronulla, was some internal discussion but no offer towards him at the point.

In relation to RTS he’s been discussed before & nothing has come across my way in relation to a meeting in NZ. If he’s serious about coming back to the NRL the club is certainly keen to entertain that idea.

30th spot will be a player who can play 1-5 of sorts. But Sheens has a plan for that last spot.

Nathan Brown is still a chance, one more spot is expected to be freed up for with an off contract 2023 player on the move.

Thanks for the update. I assume you can't reveal who is potentially being moved on?
Also, would you know if popular opinion of the fans is ever taken into account during the clubs decision making? For example I know that I am in the minority with not wanting Moses back at the club. I would guess it's about a 70/30 split. But, say for example it was a 90/10 split against bringing Moses back. Would this influence the club's decision, or would they continue forth in what they believe is best?

It did once with Willie Mason, he was all but signed till all the fan complaints came in.

The club submitted its “final” offer to Mitch Moses this week. 4 year deal outright. Apparently last deal was 3 year + 1 year mutual option.
$5mill over the 4 year period. His management indicated a decision will be made next week.

Thanks @THE_POM. Any idea if we have a plan B for the halves already in motion if the decision doesn't go the way we want? Or is it just all in on Moses for the moment and deal with it after the decision.

Any news about Kenny KO?

Talk around the place is that he’s the one on the outer and looking to leave to SL.

Also personal question - who’s your fav player?

Mentioned it a while ago that he had the option to leave, wouldn’t shock me if he left.

Appreciate the news as always mate, do you know internally how the club feel about there chances? ... seems like lately the talk has been more he’ll stay at Parra

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

Everyone knows that Sheens wants Brown as a fullback, handy goal kicker too. 🤣

and a much better and faster winger then Nofoaluma 😉

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

I think at 1.2 million a year over 4 years that is too close to what parramatta are offering

I think Sheens has been around too much, to listen to the ravings of the fans. For over 40yrs he would have had so called experts in his ear, he is a cool customer. I have spoken to people , who have known and spoken to him, they all say he is a very smart man.

Thanks for the updates as always mate & Merry Christmas!

Qq, besides MM & potentially N. Brown, anyone else we’re chasing?

 

[pawsandclaws1]

$1.25m pa over 4 years. Perhaps there may be TPA(s) involved?

So if thats the case then the lure of moving to the Tigers is he likes what we may become and likes the Sheens/Benji vision.

If the money is similar then he may as well stay with the Eels.

I'm hoping he wants a challenge and ends up with us.

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

Hopefully we can get this done.
🙏

Thanks for sharing.

InshAllah ya habibi 🙏

Is Jimmy Ngutlik a chance for that last spot @THE_POM if he impresses over the rest of the pre-season & trials?

I hope you are right

Moses, is still a chance,as per the Pom. If we get him,the whole dynamics of the side changes, maybe close to the eight. If we don't, Parra will be hurting big time.
Good news no matter what the result.

 

[supercoach]

Be very suprised if Moses leaves Parra. 1.25 mil sounds like a massive offer but with the new cap its about what you need to pay to het a quality no7. Parra should be able to match that, and as happy tiger said about 50 pages ago, good players seldom leave there club

It sounds ridiculous doesn't it. We'd make him the highest paid player in the game.
