I was calling for the Wests Tigers to bring back BMM throughout the world cup but alas, I believe he has gone to the Titans. (happy to be corrected but that's what I heard) He is nothing like the player who turned out for us, has become an absolute beast who may well come back to trample us.

There was talk of BMM to Titans but then there was talk that his ESL side were refusing to release him.

He is still no better than when we had him imo - still full of errors, uncontrolled aggression and gives away penalties. One pass for a try does not make him a beast - unless it is a fairy tale that is.

I agree.

I'm always wary of players having a standout tournament after middling club form - it's probably a mental thing, riding the wave of the Tongan tilt.

Not to say BMM is no good and I'd be happy to take a punt again, but he basically failed to nail it at Tigers and Panthers, and is doing alright in what is an inferior ESL competition.

Big step to come back to the NRL and be a consistent weekly contributor. I reckon he'll still get found out by the pace of the NRL, happens to plenty of players.

Or maybe he has matured and is a better footballer? The club knows better than anyone, he was here for a long time.

At 26 he is at the perfect age in terms of physicality, and is also maturing as a young man. I reckon he is worth a risk - at the right price - wouldnt be disappointed if he filled the remaining position.

Sadly, if Sue continues down the concussion path he did in 2017, he'll be joining Fulton in 2019 not the Eels….tbh, Sue needs to step up another level in 2018 for me to say lets keep him....hope he does though

Jayden Nikorima given marching orders from Bondi!

I haven’t seen him play…....is he worth a crack at?

I don't think so. He's a two-time offender and is carrying a 12 week suspension with him. Don't think we need his insertion into our (new) culture.
 
I pick up Brad Arthur’s dad regularly on the bus, he confided that Brad Arthur really rates Suaso (Jesse) Sue and will be making a desperate bid to get him over to the Eels. This doesn’t really worry me, I think Sue has had years to bulk up but whilst super fit is not big enough to make a big impact. I was surprise when Woods talked him up as a prop as he is too short in my opinion.
 
I think Sue as an impact prop is a really good option. He can make some great runs. He is though inconsistent.

I agree with what you’ve said, plus the fact that he goes missing in games on a regular basis
At his best he is a good player.( not great)
At his worst, he may as well be sitting with the spectators.
His good games are seldom seen.
He’s had a lot of time to be a consistently good player
Without getting there.
Can’t see why Parra would want him, but wouldn’t loose any sleep if it was true

From the The Mole …...
The Bulldogs are considering medically retiring Greg Eastwood after the Kiwi international forward underwent surgery for an irregular heartbeat last week.
The club is desperately trying to free up money in the salary cap to sign a halfback and question marks over Eastwood’s future see his career in doubt. The 30-year-old’s body has caused him problems in recent seasons - even before the heart problems a chronic knee injury saw him play just 33 games in the last two seasons. The Bulldogs’ new coach Dean Pay has decided to move halfback Moses Mbye to fullback next season, leaving him short of a number seven for the new season.
Eastwood will be on around $800,000 next season but if he is medically retired, he will get his money - but not out of the salary cap. That $800,000 will give the Bulldogs plenty of ammunition to find a halves partner for new signing Kieran Foran.

Dodgy as anything. You can artificially give yourself an irregular heartbeat after a night on the turps. Depends what sort of irregular heartbeat as well, some are totally fine and never present a threat to your health. Hope they get stuck with it. Insurance company will be making sure they don't have to pay it out.

You certainly wouldnt be getting into a bidding war for him. I can see him seeing a bit of reserves this year.

An $800k reserve grade player, says a lot about backending contracts.
:roll
 
Sharkies were also after Sue at time of last extension..Sue took less to stay…Like most our players he has what it takes in spurts...hopefully injury free next year sees not only Sue but the majority more consistent ...

Play the way he played against Manly at Leichhardt every week would go a long way to help with impact off the bench..
