The thing for us is Pascoe and Madge have repeatedly stated “we only want people who want to be here…we only want people who want to be here…we only want people who want to be here…”

So, what if the kid has a great year, bonds with the seniors players and says he wants to stay at Parra?

He’s already put pen to paper EH. It’s a done deal for 2021 like Jai to Souths. Parramatta wouldn’t release him and were within their right; that isn’t an indictment on our club. Stefano is being professional & working hard in the interim - he gets to earn a few more bucks and gain experience with his promotion to first grade, good for him. If and that’s a big IF he changes his mind they’ll have to wait until November; highly unlikely any talks would end well for Parramatta given our past dealings with them to be honest. We’re more likely to top up his contract then lose it to the Eels but we’d have to cross that bridge if we ever get to it. No point in hypothesizing a year out from now if you ask me. It’s very stressful and there’s too much to look forward to.

Great post

Great explanation

He will be a tiger in 2021

Ha ha - just reading that Josh Dugan knocked back an offer to go ESL with Catalans and may be stuck in reserve grade at Cronulla on 800k a year. Good to see other clubs stuffing things up as well. Looks like another Greg Eastwood scenario. He ain’t gonna walk and no club will take him on with that sort of money.

God he hope he does stay and play reserve grade

Dude on Twitter (I know) said something has happened and the Joey thing may be in trouble.

Rumour is that a Raiders player has been a naughty boy and considering BJ release hasn’t been signed off Canberra may change their mind

That’s no good

Best way to combat the Slimy’s tactics is to sneak in and sign another young super “up and comer” from under their noses.

A great slap in the face for the “FILTH”

And Giving them a flogging along the way would be great to
I would like to see a Musgrave hit on Mosses
Better still would like to see Brooks dump Moses

Or Brooks taking a dump on Moses

He’d definitely go to the sin bin for that. And Moses would have to go to the poo bin.

He would probably roll around on the grass in it soaking it all up

So Parra has announced they have upgraded him to top 30 for this year…

Question - We have signed him for 2021 onwards but are the eels allowed to talk him out of it so he stays with them OR does he need us to release him as he has signed with us?

I know you are all saying its no chance but this is the Eels we are talking about… Pure scum

I read on the forum earlier that he had declined the top 30 offer, can they upgrade him anyway, also he said he did not want to make his debut for them

I’ve read all that too

Maybe Stefano and Madge have agreed he should take the deal and experience that comes with it as by the sounds of it he would’ve seen NRL action this year if released to us

Danny Williams did what most of us would like to do!

I didn’t like it at the time obviously being a tiger’s supporter

But hey he was sent off and we won the game

All I can say now is

Thanks Danny for the laugh that was probably around 15 years in the making

so does that mean that over the course of time the Tigers’ greatest villain…has become a cult hero?

I believe so

Can someone please post a clip of it

Maybe even start a new thread and throw it in with the Fatah and Watts footage and maybe some old blocker and siro footage

I would but no idea how to download

He was a dog then and a dog now - cause O’Neill has turned into a dog doesn’t make Williams any lesser of a dog.

Cult hero - you people are having yourselves on.

I agree Russell Williams is still a dog but it makes me laugh now

I never really liked ONeill much in the 1st place anyway and now he is at parra I like him even less and can look back at that and laugh

You don’t have to agree but that’s how I feel about it

We know what Parramattas intentions are, so we just have to make them know what ours are. Try as they might, we have the contract and we have to make it clear that he will be in WTs colours next year no matter what happens in 2020.

No matter what happens? What if you have a 19yo kid who doesn’t want to be here?

There might be many what if’s between now and then he might get injured and or may not handle FG - it is about enforcing the legal contract and dealing with all the what if’s when and if they happen.

The kid clearly doesn’t want to be at the eels, but because he has a contract he is being forced to see it out and he’s standing by it…shows character in the kid. He could’ve thrown his toys out of the cot and forced a move but maybe he sees it as not the best way to go??

And in the process show parras 2 princesses what men with hearts behave like

Is the sky falling again…

I reckon it’s great…young kid may get some FG experience now…thanks Pawa…

I would say he has realised he isn’t getting a release and has decided to take the upgraded contract and experience that comes with it

He has a contract with us that he signed after knocking parra back on 3 occasions

From all reports wanted to come here this year but parra wouldn’t release him

We can’t change that and neither can he
