Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

He’s won a Harold Mathews’s premiership here and formed a close bond with his mates why would he want to leave if we are winning?

 

[finnzo]

How do you interpret me talking about how people think of coaches as me “hating this club”?. That’s a weird take away.

I just feel you never have anything positive to say about the club and the direction Shane and benji are taking us. Just look at the players they have recruited it’s incredible

Henny Penny would fit right in to this chat 😔

Why would he go back to a club who got rid of him , I for one would tell them there dreaming

Sure. I don’t get this. There be an element of dirtyness, but it’s the club ya grew up with in ya blood.
You wouldn’t go back to the Tigpies?

The Tigers could sack me twice, I’d still go back if they rang and said we need you, and the DH that sacked you is gone.

We need to show him that it’s just as reasonable that you can become an immortal at a different clubs. Happens all the time.
Api was a Tiger growing up, and didn’t play here till he was 30. Gal can do similar.
Take the money on offer now Gal.

Do you consider your self a supporter of this club? Cause from what I gather you hate the club and want it to loose!

I understand a lot of us have blind faith in a benji but isn’t that the point in having a team to support To get behind them no matter what.

That’s a bit rough Finnzo.
He supports us, just likes to play devils advocate.

Of course the priority is the NRL team & winning! But to become a strong development club, we need depth and just as important experience in NSW Cup.

The likes of Kurt Falls & Tristan Hope will not lead us to NRL glory but they will help educate & lead our Cup players many who are 20-22yo. Depth also creates competition for spots which in turn develops a hungry squad and the selection of in-form players.

And I said a winning Cup & Flegg team will ‘help’ boost morale not dictate it.

I personally rate the recruitment of the likes of Falls, Hope, Charlie Murray, Eiden Ackland & Jayden Tanner as extremely important in the improvement of our NRL team.

People upset with signings like Falls and Hope, don't seem to understand we had players like Ryan and Valevatu playing in the spine last year.
Falls is better for our cup squad than Sullivan.

You’re too sensitive

Whose upset?

Probably because Jason Ryles is able to talk up their training program and work ethic.

Plus you have Mitchell Moses who can give his slant on the saga.

I also believe Galvin was an Eels Junior that we pinched somehow.


But yes, looking at the Eels coaching staff. Ryles has set up Parra to be way too contact/tackle heavy. With Nathan Cayless, Nathan Brown and himself it's too much focus on muscle. Wait, Sam Moa was a prop too... That is entirely nuts, you don't have a halves coach at all bar Wisemantel who mainly played Rugby. ... Parra will be busting teams this year but they will be close to the bottom 4.

Why do you think coaches can only coach the style they played? Or for that matter do an origin 7 and kiwi 6 need specialist positional coaching more so than game plan coaching?

Oh mate I couldn’t care less I more just wanted to know your angle on things? Like do you enjoy been negative towards the club? Or is it that you feel we are going to fail again?

I do mate, I love it. I want us to fail

Ask a silly question, get a silly answer.

Anyone got the Luia article for the DT today?

 

[Tcat]

Just sharing what I’ve heard from a
someone close to the family. This is a rumour thread.

Your post said more then most of the other bullshit people talk about on this thread mate. The people that mock you are probably the people that come on here talk about Asian rock fishing, kebab shops in Auburn or talk about some 8 year old playing club footy out the back of Campbeltown somewhere that's the next big thing.

The gist from the WTP forum is that the Galvin discussion might all become moot soon .

Which you’d have to think an extension of some kind is in the works .

Why would he want to play for the Eels when they have already rejected him once and their current r playing roster is not any better than ours ?
It’s best to think logically.

That never stopped Moses going back there

Lachie can’t go anywhere or earn more $ at another club for another 2 seasons .

There’s no way Richo would release him before then .

Pascoe might have already released him last season .

The only way Isaac gets more commission in that next 2 years is if an upgrade happens .

Even if it’s only an extension until the end of 2027 it’s going to be a lot of money over the next 3 seasons .

That extra $ gives Lachie security in case ( touch wood ) a bad injury happens like what happened to that kid who went to the bulldogs , Oloapu .

Boggles my mind why you would turn down free money for that very reason. You are only one game, one run, one tackle away from losing it all. It’s why I can never understand when players drag out contract negotiations. Especially mid season.
