Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Maybe I’m naive, but isn’t Johansen a good prospect for us to develop for 2025? Perhaps he could even start next year? There’s also a bunch of younger props which will take longer to come through, but I’m of the opinion that we shouldn’t sign mediocre players, just take the time to develop what we have.

Swear willison has the same manager as one of our young guns

 

[user118245]

Stefano is the shared manager

I've got him as a maybe to play 2nd row right edge,
I'm sure he'll train there some over the summer anyway
it's a position we probably need depth in, and week
in week out NRL playing through the middle will be
too tough 4 him if he was ever asked/needed 2 do it

 

[Kaito]

Either Willison or Hetherington/Cobbo/Staggs
haha, something has to give up at the Broncos.

 

[user118245]

Wouldn’t want cobbo out of all of them imo

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Sadly he's better than every current outside back we have on our books

Doesn’t really matter if you are only going to get 10 games a year out of him.

SIGNING NEWS!
Parramatta Eels have extended the contracts of three of their best up-n-comers - Charlie Guymer, Saxon Pryke and Richard Penisini.

There seems to be an underlying theme at The Slimeys.

Dick Penis ini should give them some real thrust.

It disturbs me how many are talking about JAC as a serious option.

And to think we were once not that long ago, sweating on Jac & Latrells signatures. Need top rated players who think it's not all about them But the team. Big ask these days like finding paddock mushrooms in years gone bye

 

[hugh1954]

Over 40 years ago… hard to believe.

Need to find my "send it out,send it out 45 record,or did I wear a grove in it from overplaying it

The silence on recruitment means there must be a lot balls in the air.

All the recent signings have been easy wins & to be honest by all reports on very reasonable coin.

Skelton @$235k
Bird @$400k
Hunt unsure but have heard it wasn't overs for years 2 & 3. Just needed to cover Cronulla next year.

Trust the process. Large a loss yes but bigger picture currently there needs to be a few strategic decisions.

Let's see what's fall out of the tree. Hopefully we drop a few branches as well.

I think we have 30 blokes on contract so it’ll remain quiet until we can move one of those on.

The talk is that Makasini will resign just his manager won’t let him till he sees all his options

Penrith and parra have showed interest but we are better for him then both

"Resign" or "re-sign"? Is he gone too? 😳

FWIW - I know JAC is past his prime, but in the last 40 years of watching league, he is probably the best pure winger I’ve ever seen.
Lote was great, Sailor was dominant, but peak JAC is my pick.

Edit: honourable mention to Folau.

And Tuiaki, Richards of course 😊

Ken Irvine was the Best winger I ever saw, daylight second
