    OFFICIAL Jack Bird #299

    He would be clever to leave . Already IMO he will have the current starting pack in front of him , as well as KPP , Geyer and Robert’s , as well as hopefully another middle . Sucks because he’s apparently a really awesome glue guy. Like I’ve been saying repeatedly the last few days , as a...

    The Tautua brothers , especially max are killing flegg . Both centres . I think we should give Thompson another year , and see if some of these gin flegg backs like the Tautuas , Tavana , can make the jump . But Alomoti and Sloan would be good to chuck a year at , whilst they inevitably take up...

    He will not sign for 3 years . It’s fairyland stuff . He’s got a 7 year 1.5 mil offer from the dragons and bears on the table . That’s the range of years and money you have to play in now . They will be real dark years in 31/32 for whichever club pays that . He can’t stay on the field now at 26...

    The titans are exhibit A on this strategy . They will get the spoon this year , with one of the best rosters on paper in the comp . Investing hugely on middles and fullbacks . Even the cowboys didn’t with JT , when 1 mil was more like 1.5 mil for today’s salary cap . It was fine when the only...

    Which should make everyone absolutely terrified of giving him 1 mil a season @26 for 5 plays years . Which is what it would take to get him . The forum meltdowns in 2030 would be biblical ..

    One day , almost overnight , he won’t be . His knees will go , he will start to break down , and it will all end really quickly . My guess around the time he’s 28. This next contract should come big giant buyer beware sign . He will get his 1.2-1.3mil because he deserves it , but much like NQ...

    It’s because middles are the running backs of the nrl . They are extremely vital , but they take a battering, and thier careers fall off a cliff . Look at klemmer he’s just turned 30 and it’s over . This guy was once the best prop in the game and it wasn’t even close . And his starting prop best...

    You CANNOT pay a front rower 1mil a year . Actually you can , if you strike gold and say , have one of the best kids in the world on a 500k contract . Otherwise you’re like Cronulla and have to release your backup middles . Tino is NOT worth that . I don’t think he ever was . I think it would...

    Tino is no Payne Hass to. As much as he seems like a natural leader and good bloke . Even if he was Payne Hass crossed with Laurie Daley , he’s never on the field for more than half a season . You can’t pay a dude 2 mil to ride the pine 50% of the time .

    That’s not accurate though . Really it’s 30 points to 8th with 4 rounds left . So only really 12 teams can actually make it . This weekend probably won’t tell us much either , as even if we do beat manly , the dragons should win as well , so it’s going to make an interesting last 3 rounds I think .

    The roosters players are all employees of the club . My guess is with a strong work/ life balance ie. you don’t have to turn up to work lol … maybe the gym !

    We kept Benny , Farah , Senter , Mescia . And let nearly all the rest go because we had those 3 …. Now it’s Api . With Hayward next in line . Who were supposed to keep ? Liddle never reached the peaks he was supposed to . The rest had Farah or Api or Senter in their way .

    Man if the best hooker your team has produced in 40 years is reed mahoney , with the geo footprint the eels have.....i mean i stand by my comment ! we are the shittest team in the comp , and currently have Simpkins , Liddle , TDS , playing nrl out of our development system . Harry Grant took a...

    same ! he was being allowed to develop here . at the eels he will be a system dummy half . with the prime objective being to feed their halves off the deck asap. thats not what he was learning at the tigers. someone had convinced the kid he needed to be i 1st grade all the time to develop...

    it's not a mental illness .... pretty ignorant thing to say. Theres no uptick in autism diagnoses. It's more that having your mind looked at, has lost its stigma in culture, so people are getting their heads read and their children's. The naughty kid who can't sit still in class .... go stare...

    its also because he was learning from api . and we try and play our footy through our 9. moses is notorious for wanting quick concise ball off the deck. TDS will have to unlearn , and change his playing style to suit Bitchell. Theres a reason the eels cant develop a decent 9. Not while Moses is...
