Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Odessa]

I don't want him,when he left us there were many rumours about him white anting the coaching staff.We are trying to promote stability within the club despite the perpetual clown show from HBG.The last thing we need is more potential backstabbing.

Mate could you imagine Toddles first day back his manager Isaac Moses will pack his lunch drop him off and organise to come back in the afternoon to see Toddles to have coffee in the players lounge asking if everyone is ok handing out his telephone number and being a nice guy

What are the Eels big names? Moses and? Maybe Paulo is on the back end of a big contract. No-one else I think would be commanding big money.
Yes, I think we have a better side that would be significantly higher paid. Though I would still like to steal a couple of forwards from them.

What are our big names ?

They have Moses .. we have Luai … Api v Paulo? What’s Longhi on ?

The likes of Jahream and the May brothers aren’t on much this year . $600k odd? . KPP and the Fainu brothers are paid $500k… I don’t think out squad is superior.. AD is paid a pittance… the others would be less than $500?

You take Moses out of their line up and it’s a pretty average roster. They also have a heap of salary cap because they’ve struggled to sign anyone. Just JBD and Brian Kelly lol

 

[Tom Shines]

Just Luai and Api

Yes API was not mentioned by me initially… he is on about $700k right ? Don’t they pay TDS like $600k?

Api, Luai, Terrell, Taylan & Masi absolutely walk into their side. Bud took a pay cut last year.

They have the salary cap from Brown & Lomax leaving and have tried to fill it with Keon & Barnett, missing out on both.

That’s not the point mate whether they walk in or not ..we are talking average money for all mentioned ..,they have Longi, TDS Paulo …

Let the TAB know that we have a better team because we are longer odds to win the comp right?

We are still paying part of Buds salary even though he took less money

TDS @ 600k is insane.. very expensive bench player.

I get it … but that’s what they are paying him … we pay Taylan the same …

If money is the point Paulo is $900k vs TDM on $650k. TDS $650k for 15 mins off the bench, API is an origin 9? You’re making not much sense now

 

[wstigers11]

Taylan is worth that? He’s our best outside back? How does that compare to TDS?

 

[Terry T.Nuts]

Im not sure, only thing I have heard os that Paytin offered Benji to call him anytime he needs advice when Benji started coaching

Payten is one of the worst coaches ever, bog average and can't get a side stacked with origin and international players to perform. He will be Super League bound if he is lucky after the Cowboys.

Yet Parramatta are still in on every player that shakes loose ? How is that when they overpay everyone ?

Meantime we are silent in the market

I just checked …both teams are rated $34.00 to win the comp…so the punters don’t prefer one team over the other

I already said because Brown left who was on $1m+ and Lomax left a few months before the season started on $700k+
They got Pezet for a year only and haven’t landed anyone else to replace that money. If anything, it’s embarrassing to be linked to everyone and sign no one. Galvin, Keaon, Barnett.

They’ve already conceded the dreaded 50 points, their drought lives on lol

what are they paying Pezet ? The story I heard was that the Lomax money went there …

My point is that we are linked to no body …rumours are we are broke, and I’m not sure where the money has gone ..

So why aren’t we higher with our apparently better squad ?

 

[mtd#2]

I think we pay Taylan 750k.

We dodged a bullet when you think that we could have been paying $1.7 million per year for TDS and Galvin. Compare their output/effectiveness to we had from Api and Luai on the weekend.
