Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tim Sheens]

The biggest problem for Norman is having Moses in the side. He has always had a like for blow, as do others, but can still play good footy.

There’s mail of more drama at the winless Eels.

Last week, it was star five-eighth Mitchell Moses that was believed to be angry with the state of affairs at the club.

Moses took exception to Jarryd Hayne’s alleged short cuts at training - and let the staff know as much at training last week.

Now, the story is Moses' halves partner.

MORE: Ask the NRL Lurker: Are heads set to roll at Parramatta Eels?

Word out of Parramatta is that Corey Norman won’t be around much longer if some sort of swap deal can be arranged with another club

The Eels have had enough of Norman and his loose off-field ways, while his form this year has been below mediocre.

If Brad Arthur can find a decent forward, he’d be willing to do a deal with anyone to have Norman off his books.

The fingers may be pointing at Arthur, but Norman will go before the coach. Mark my words

Hmmmm
Give them Grant for Norman
Can always keep him in Reggies till he pull his head in
Might be alright as backup when Marshall retires
Especially if we don't get Cleary

Now who is going to give it to me

You post an article about a player being a loose cannon off the field, then in the same post suggest we sign him? 🤔

He’s not the full quid, and is a good chance of ending up in jail. After all the great work our club has done, why go down that path?

Norman started his NRL career at Both Brisbane and parra playing fullback, but he does not fit our new culture.

Manly don't have the forwards to trade away. Canberra could release Paulo or Papalii who are both are fair chance of walking out on them at the end of this year anyway.

Bennett couldn't get rid of him quick enough.
That says something.
We've moved on from this type of DH players.

 

[Magpies1969]

Another wasted talent, Norman and not what the new culture at WT should be entertaining.

Canberra would be the likely suitor given they seem to have an abundant of forwards which Parramatta need.

The only Parramatta players I would consider would be Gutherson and Brown.

Agreed
Atm no
But reformed would be a great player just like Packer
That's why I said Reggies till he pulls his head in
Would not give him a chance in 1st grade until his off field dramas are behind him
Maybe
Just maybe his problem is Moses

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

Our off contract players

JJ Felise, Heath Gibbs, Pita Godinet, Tim Grant, Benji Marshall, Esan Marsters, Sam McIntyre, Thomas Mikaele, Kevin Naiqama, Dylan Smith, Sauaso Sue, Malakai Watene-Zelezniak

Long way to go this year but hopefully we lock up Masters as soon as possible. If Benji is still going well he should be given another year or given a halves coaching role.

I would like to see more of Felise, Mikaele, Dylan Smith, Gibbs and Sam McIntyre to have an opinion.

Grant will most likely go to a club with a soft pack to get some $$

The rest are good depth but could be upgraded to make our 17 more potent.

Also Chris has a year to go after this season but depending on our recruitment might find himself out of the 17 next year.

Thoughts?

Norman was a loose cannon well before Moses. And reserve grade won't solve any of his problems. He needs time away from the game.

Re-sign, Mikaele and Marsters asap. Re-sign, Naiqama, Sue, Felise and MWZ for depth. And I've got no idea how the development squad is going so, I don't really have an opinion on them.
