Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Ecto-1]

Manu said before he left that if he ever returned to League he could never play against the Roosters. We have no chance to sign him if he returns he’s straight back to the chooks.

One who would appeal to Richo & Benji if he fell from the tree is Jordan Riki.

Someone of decent value has to be sacrificed at the Donkeys sooner or later.

If you could prise him out of Queensland the sticking point, other teams from up there will have a crack at him if available, open to any reasonable 2RF target considering our depth.

The Benji NZ factor!

Maybe I misinterpreted the last few pages but The GM of another club is seen "having lunch" with one of our contracted players... I thought that was not on?

All good as long as they're not talking contracts or noone is asking anyone to break their contract. Of course if their meeting its obvious what's going on, but proving it is a completely diffrent story. Plus the fact N.R.L head office are absolutely useless when it comes to policing the salary cap and won't do any form of investigating unless the evidence falls into their lap.

Well Benji is a likeable guy has shown to get signings done, if we start winning the targets will be getting more interested.

Yep exactly, and Riki fits our profile well - experienced for his age, international who young backrowers can learn off, runs very good lines & hits holes, fast, one of the better kick chasers going around.

Under contract until end of '27 but things can change under Madge.

Should just catch up for dinner.

It's a fantasy signing he will end up back at the pea hens, besides what do we do with Bula, I know he needs to step up now.

I didn't say it was likely. 99% of comments on this thread are fantasy

Was TDS the captain of that Matts team that won?

yeah if it's the old madge won't take long to get under the team's skin, especially if he flogs them after a loss can't see how that would stay popular.

This is true sirro, it would be a sparse thread if it was taken out and probably boring if it was held to facts only, unless it was the news of a huge signing.

It was JMK from the dolphins

Gus mustn't want whoever that player may be if he's taken him to Rashays. That's the kind of place you take someone when you want to dump them, or the family but only if you have 4+ kids 😂🤣

Off topic but the Eels are thrashing the Knights at the moment. 22-4 at half time.

Eels coach Ryles relaxed about Dylan Brown’s contract situation

Dylan Brown scored a try and set one up in Parramatta’s trial thrashing of Newcastle - the team who are hoping to lure him away from the Eels.

Nothing stopping them going to his fav restaurant for a catch up

ON Valentines day?

Hope Gus brought choclates.

 

[crazycat]

i forgot about that thanks....

think about how good a coach he actually is - top 4 every year, with only Nico as a big "star" - and he did that all with having that croaky voice.

more impressive now i think about it

Craig Fitz is the real deal, probably better then Jason Ryles at the train hard and tough style of coaching.

At Easts he would apparently be always ready to wressle, anyone any time.

Cronulla haven't had super big names other then Nicho, and even then he was a good storm utility.

The big question for us is Royce Hunt. How will he go moving from a system like Cronulla's to our disorganised system? He is already a low minute player, will he perform or take the easy road.

Can just picture that, flowers in one hand and candy in the other with the stupidest grin.

more experience in the eel's side dazz?

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Watching it now Knights hit back.

Looks like the Eels did name a pretty strong team. It makes sense new coach & all.

 

[Tigerdazz2]

Wow, the Knights must have drank a litre of Red Bull each at half time 😂🤣
