Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[hsvjones]

Is it just me or am i going nuts.....The Eels must be hiding some books under the table or something.
***2020*** ***GAINS***
***Waqa Blake*** - Big Money
***Reagan Campbell-Gillard*** - Big Money
hys Davies (2020),
Haze Dunster (2020),
Samuel Hughes (2020),
***Ryan Matterson*** - Big Money

****2020 LOSSES**** - All smaller salaries
Bevan French
Manu Ma'u
Tim Mannah
Matt McIlwrick
Tepai Moeroa
Kaysa Pritchard

Plus they have
Nathan Brown - Big Money
M Moses - Big money
Dylan Brown - Resigned for like 700k
C Gutherson - Big Money
B Ferguson - Big Money
J Paulo - Big Money

Plus a heap of good first grade players... Adding like 3 rep players and losing some fringe 1st graders..

Something is suss to me ... Yet they won't even release the young kid to us a year early..

We must be the scum of the NRL and with all out money free we sign Walters and Leilua :thinking_face: :thinking_face:

Please give us some good signing news soon or maybe lift LM offer as its better to spend on him than NO ONE ..

Johnson on the wing with JAC on the other provides a nice boost in pace, Dufty at a bargain price is streets ahead of the entitled princess from the Shire. If Maguire is speaking with Moylan he deserves to go.

I’ve been one of Thommo’s biggest critics as I think he’s a really poor fullback, but I think Dufty is worse. The guy just can’t tackle.

Corey Thompson has a good kick return but he doesn't offer much else.

Does anyone rate Logan Dillon?

So we miss another target, this is getting to be a major issue

It’s been an issue for years. And there’s no sign it’s changing. Despite all the talk and bluster. Our current top 17 is very very average.

Despite the claims of the bagdad bobs on here, something is very wrong with the club. They need to address it.

Sadly there’s nothing to refute that claim. It’s just disappointment after missed opportunity after stuff up. Geez I’d love to be proven wrong.

Josh Dugan enters the chat 😭

Wonder if Tui Lolohea is available. Can also cover prop which is handy.

 

[Cairnstigers]

Keep on Signing the best youth
At least they have opportunity here
If we can't sign top line players for 2020 then front load some players so we have even more cap money for 2021
That's when our COE will be ready and more enticing for players to come
I am quietly confident in our forwards
We obviously need speed
I only see Addo Carr and or Xerri helping here if they become available now and we are able to sign them
Money talks we have it so let's use it

Whilst I agree the squad is average, Zac also knocked back the Raiders not just us.

Good job getting one of our competitors to go high fora bloke we were looking at. Squeezes their salary cap

What if they don’t come in 2021? A COE is not going to make everyone want to come here. There appears to be a problem with our brand. Until that perception is changed we’re going to continue to struggle.

Reality is at this stage = we will have an average makeshift FB 'AND' an average makeshift hooker...

You simply won't make the finals in modern footy with half the spine fill ins.

Not sure what we do from here, but I personally would have no issue with the club front loading Josh and Packer and clearing even more space for 2021.

2020 looks unlikely at this point.

 

[WT2K]

Maybe we should make a play for the kid at the Storm,
Nicho Hynes.. won't be getting many games with Papz extended now.

 

[Snake]

How's Ben Hunt working out for them..

Mary 1st coach goooorne...

Flanagan is there for one reason and I suspect Lomax was told same!

 

[Russell]

Well, he'd be better than Moylan imo.

 

[Swordy]

Flanagan cant coach dragons this year, even if Mary goes first week.

 

[Tiger2135]

Anyone interested in Israel Falau?

 

[Russell]

Think Lomax will live to regret his decision somehow.

Should have been a Tiger.

 

[Russell]

Anyone interested in Israel Falau?

NO!

Moylan is half the size but twice the fullback. Lolohea’s a dud.

Who?
