SIGNING NEWS!
Parramatta Eels have extended the contracts of three of their best up-n-comers - Charlie Guymer, Saxon Pryke and Richard Penisini.

Gee I bet Dick Penis copped some shit at school, probably still does. 🤣

Some parents should have their naming rights revoked, what the F@ck were they thinking.

At least he will fit in quite nicely with all the other Dicks at Parramatta.

The silence on recruitment means there must be a lot balls in the air.

All the recent signings have been easy wins & to be honest by all reports on very reasonable coin.

Skelton @$235k
Bird @$400k
Hunt unsure but have heard it wasn't overs for years 2 & 3. Just needed to cover Cronulla next year.

Trust the process. Large a loss yes but bigger picture currently there needs to be a few strategic decisions.

Let's see what's fall out of the tree. Hopefully we drop a few branches as well.

Either that or it's just a big balls up.

We signed Panther gun back up fullback too , what was his name? Fumbles Laurie

Ben Gardiner apparently

A good choice if so. Should have been our assistant until Benji got the flick.

 

[rihannafan1]

I think a lot of people have way too much faith in Richo. Is he any different to the players we sign milking out a payday before retirement.

Settle down mate. He's been in the job 9 months.

He was in England for a month of that. Still waiting to see his achievements beyond moving Bateman on for 6 weeks.

Frustrating that we hear about Large, Nav Willett, Zak Clarke & Alex Isdale leaving us. We hear about other Clubs pathways retentions/extensions like Eels today. Yet we have heard nothing about any of our elite pathways retentions officially yet! And I’m not talking out some of the train & trialists announced last month (Broederlow etc)

Nothing about Makasini, Godinet, Taupau-Moors, Hayward, Duncombe! We probably will but I’m surprised the club doesn’t drip feed us some positive news.

We can’t sign any of them because our top 30 is full with the likes of Naden, Sullivan,Tumeth, Feledy, Sullar, Bateman, Matamua etc

I've never started a signings rumour on here before, but tonight I'll stick my neck out and put this one out there because it might make some people happier than they are at the moment.

Taniela Paseka is returning to the Tigers as part of a swap deal, a Large for large deal one could say.

Well, it kind of helps with our forwards situation.

you know this to be true?

Who else is leaving that we want to keep and which of those we want to lose are staying

 

[hank37w]

Sorry mate, I forget to include the laughing emoji.

It did seem kind of feasible though. 🤣

Parra lost 3 of their brightest young stars over the past few months in Talagi, Sanders and Matt Arthur. Took a little while before they had any decent news in Iongi signing from Penrith and Guymer re-signing.

Hopefully our positive news isn't too far away.

Seems unlikely they would trade their no 1 prop for a 16 year old. Especially when he only recently signed a five year extension.

You were close. We traded for Aaron Woods.

Just for the record I'll repeat a reply I just made to @jrtiger,

"Sorry mate, I forget to include the laughing emoji.

Can't fool me mate.

Woods announced his retirement a couple of weeks ago.

Oh wait, that means he could actually be back with us. 🤣
