Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Would not like us to pay more than $400,000 for the next 2 years , with the club having a option for a 3rd year

Def no 3rd. No offence but I want our juniors up in the team by then.

How about a bit of 4D chess
Moses > Tigers
Doueihi > Dogs
Flannagan > Eels

Win for all not so much Parra

If Eels lose Moses they will move Brown to halfback.

Whatever happens the Eels arnt going to like it.

NOPE.

Even with Klemmer and Nathan Brown we have NOT solved our lack of Aggression.

That is exactly why we are in the mess we were in for 2022. Our culture needs to demand Aggression and pride. Russell Packer, Josh Reynolds, Robbie Roccow were known for their aggression. We clearly had some aggressive players and they mellowed.

We need to demand aggression in our club, training and culture. Else we will be mellowing Klemmer and Brown instead of having them help motivate us!

All 3 that u mentioned, we’re on the sideline more than they were on the field , hard to have aggression when ur injured nearly all the time . And Roccow was not a high class signing , like KLEMMER or Bateman or even brown

I do too , but what happens if they all flop , u want to still play them . It would be a club option, if we need him .

As reported by Michelle bishop

Wouldn't take much notice of her oil, it's pretty rancid. She's been saying Brooks is a done deal to Newcastle for a year.

Both would have to be for 2024 surely? If Parra wouldn't release Steph or Papalii there is no way they will let Moses go a year early. If we release Doehi now that puts a lot of pressure on Laurie to play 5/8, with only Will Smith waiting in the wings on a T&T contract. So I can see it happening, but not for 12 months.

Swap AD for Mose then Parramatta can offer Dylan Brown more to keep him

So I am not one of those plane-spotting persons, nor do I stalk people on social media.

However it is conceivable to fly to Sydney via LA, if you plan a US stop-over. It's not as if it's out of the way, it's just not as time-efficient as flying East from London.

Unfortunately therefore his current location does not conclusively kill the possibility that he's still eventually going to end up in Australia.

Currently Virgin air flight to London via LA (or reverse) is the cheapest listed airfare.

Signing as a fullback that's never played fullback in first grade doesn't make sense.

TS, everyone wants to be a fb now. Better money and involvement.
In my day I played fb for a while coz no one else wanted to !! Times have changed.

I'd say it is fullback style contract $ which is the attraction.

Money, money, money methinks.

We dont mind signing fullbacks that arent fullbacks Mbye, Doueihi possibly Staines we have form. Herbie is quality though just hope its an incentives based offer triggered upon making the FB slot his own.

Fast, elusive and penetrative.

I’ve seen him play fullback a few times in first grade.

Goes really well there.

Definitely a better option than Laurie.
