Hope we set the bar a little higher than the above, but beggar can’t be chosey

Bah Humbug!

If it is our plans for finals footy within 2 years won’t be.

Oh ye of little faith!

Just thinking through some players I have mentioned a few times over the last 24mths that we should go for which are coming into contract options would be Billy Smith & Turuva. Both would solve & be a massive uplift on what we have atm & would make a serious difference to how we look across the park.

Turuva is Api's 1st cousin but loves Penrith and apparently he is well loved at the club so would take a massive shift for prise him away.

Papali'i' when asked about next year said he wants to be part of the turn around of WTs next year. This was on Channel 9 in the context of him returning to the Eels.

Let's hope we have a good year and he extends

He has been positive every time he speaks

Where did this crap about him returning to Eels come from ? Just more rubbish journalism

So Kasey Badger, who stuffs up every game that she's the video ref for, has been given an NRL game to ref. just so the NRL can pat themselves on the back for being inclusive.
It's a crazy world.
It's good to be getting older and not have to deal with rubbish on the regular.

Don’t forget there will be statute of her as well at one of the major stadiums in honour of this achievement 😂 or at least Anna P will offer Suncorp for this

I think it reflects more on the Eels, the hurt that club still feels over losing him to WTs, and the lack of quality players on the market to strengthen their roster next year.

Teams still in contention? Hmm.... maybe my much maligned triumvate of Hiroti (Sharks), Momorovski (Roosters) & Hymel Hunt (Knights) is still in play!!!!

If the mail about us chasing 2/3 players in finals contention teams, I would not be surprised if we land a new experienced centre - Justin Olam, Siosifa Talakai or Isaiah Tass.

Hasn't been fed any good ball all season. Used
as a battering ram crash dummy the poor guy.
Having said that, Olakau'atu is handy as well

I don’t think one half of ours has put him through a hole.

Tigers are chasing three players (two more likely) currently playing in teams competing for finals. with current players being moved on to accomodate. Expect announcements as teams drop out.

Any chance Jock Madden and Delouise Hoeter ?

Oh ye of little faith!

It’s reality

The media filth at a certain newspaper group are determined to do whatever they can to damage our club. This garbage sounds straight out of their playbook.

A big no to Best. Perhaps the Broncs may take pity on us and let us have Staggs and Mariner.

Best is an absolute Weapon. If you think Deine Mariner is anywhere near his ability you need your head read

Unlike the men they select every week who are flawless? Could she really do much worse?

I personally think Kasey is better out on the field, away from the bunker. She gets a little confused sometimes in that rarified atmosphere.

I actually think Belinda Sharpe is a good ref, I remember her at the WC last year doing a good job.
Anyway, congrats to both ladies, it’s a huge step forward for female involvement in the game.
Now all they have to do is relax and follow the rules.

Just had a listen mate & he said “not at this stage” which is a bit concerning.
