on Hassett, this screams WT buying the dip.

former Aus Schoolboys captain and NSW U19s rep who was wanted by a stack of clubs only two years ago. hasn’t exactly set the world alight in NSW Cup but has decent numbers on both sides of the ball and would benefit from a change of scenery and a clear path to first grade.

obviously we need quality and depth on the edges, but these are the kinds if opportunistic buys I hope and expect of us these next few years as we try to rebuild the roster.

Hassett is too small.

Andrew Johns came up with a good idea to help lower tier clubs; he called it a “compensation fee” which must be payed when purchasing a local junior from said club. It’s to help compensate the club who has spent time and money developing these juniors rather than develop then lose with no gain.

For example if Storm come and say “we want Onitoni” they would then on top of the contract they have to pay for would then have an additional fee which we get which could be $100,000. Just helps clubs pick of the lower tier clubs.

I like the thought behind it. It could be improved by that $100,000 being included in the salary cap of the club poaching the junior.

It shows his true character aye! The club is built around him , but he’s going to bail for himself . I get you only have 1 career, but man , anyways . Parra are the biggest grub club , who have done shady shit in the last 5-10 years . Some really cut throat , borderline reprehensible dealings . I can’t see too many people helping them out ! They will be paying pennies on the dollar with some of thier bad contracts I think .

Seriously
- you blokes are just making shit up….
He’s played his best football there, played in a GF there - all under BA…

Have you blokes actually watched him after he left here as a 21 yr old?

The bloke has averaged 96m in attack and 34 tackles per game he has played for us this year.
Not the figures of a bloke taking the piss.

You’ve got to be joking.

Even paps himself said he’s been a disappointment.

Given his potential, he’s spent most of his time with us on holiday or making sure his socks were pulled up.

We don’t want him anywhere near this club, infecting the fragile minds of our talented youth.

@BZN nailed it.

He's right on the cusp of too good for KOE/not quite enough to knock Paulo out of his spot. Perfect type of addition.

If the Eels need to lose players- ask about Ofehangue now...

Joe left the club due to conflicts with Marshall. He won't be coming back.
