Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Although Joffa only re-signed 8 months ago, it's clear to say a fair bit has changed up front.
Klem signing long term and has moved into the leader of the pack. Stef finally fit and appears a walk-up starter, as does Pole, who the coaching staff absolutely love. The club has realised there’s too much money in a wasted bench spot. Matamua, Blore all able to fill a role.

If Joffa makes way, it promotes a top 30 spot for Aitasi James.

James has been edging closer every week in the team selections.

James can be selected now. I would give him a couple of games before saying he’s the future. Try before you buy
 
How can the Eels even talk to Joffa without the Tigers saying he can leave? I don't understand the rules around player discussions at all...
Aside from that, do the Eels really need Joffa? He'll just be coming off the bench there too?
This is a strange one.
Yeah I was on their site. They talk him up like an agressive hard-worker etc. He ain't agressive. But He is a hard-worker.

Why would we let him go?

Twal has improved heaps and he's been the same but that's still consistent and good for a bench prop..I'd rather more impact but our forwards are going alright at the moment.

Moving Joe O would be a very positive move going forward.

Solid player, but has 2.5 years to go and will be a bench player at most.

We have kids like Chris Fa’agutu coming through who are going to be vastly better than Joe. That spot needs to be opened up / cleared.

If we can jag Sanders in the deal...it will be an absolute masterstroke.
Parra never ever do us any favours so dont count on getting anything out of them
 
If Gus gets Hunt I will be filthy the bloody koala bear!!
I wouldn't. Might work this year but moving forward in two years it feels like a waste. Are they just trying to make the 8 or win it? Getting hunt for two years you won't win it so what's the point?

Rather go for a 25 year old halfback and put Burton back to 6.
 
He is playing.
He’s been named but won’t play.

Pretty sure I heard it’s more giving the kid a rest though; he’s played every minute of their season so far and would probably have a few knocks.

Would only expect him to miss this week.

Whats that old saying.......It is better to be smarter than you appear than to appear smarter than you are!, lets hope that we know what we are doing regarding Joe, as he is a solid 1st grade player and our so call young brigade are not up to this standard, week in and week out will catch them out.Not a fan if this happens. 🙁
