Don't give El D a hard time for using the P word. He's just reclaiming it.

 

[Bazal]

El D can say it with gay abandon for the same reason dark skinned folk can use the N word....

Mitch Cornish has gone to the roosters
We've signed Will Smith ..

We generally start the pre-season with more than we finish as well. It includes NYC players training with the NRL squad.

Last year we started pre-season with 39 players.

didn't idg win the coaches award? I reckon here a shoe in

Agree. IDG is valued by the coach, and his re-signing somewhat trumpeted.

IMO he's likely to be in the top 25, and not 25th.

Anyone else get the membership renewal email? Tells you to login to check where your seats are at ANZ. Tried it, couldn't find squat about seats

That's because they're expecting the RBB to burn them with their flares by then...!

Any word on what's happening with Tanginoa?

 

[Stagger eel]

Any word on what's happening with Tanginoa?

I heard he's staying...in fact the only players who are leaving so far from our fringe or 2nd tier are Kelly and Cornish.

 

[hindy111]

Gee some real competition for spots.
What about Amone? Is he to old for 20s?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He is.

[Poupou Escobar]

So it's pretty clear that officially announced signings are top 25 and anyone else is second tier.

I count 24 players announced by the club (stretching back to 2014) as contracted for next year. That includes Twal, O'Brien and Gennings. Supposedly second tier players announced by anyone except the Eels include Fogarty, Tanginoa and Nelson.

In this screencap:

2 Pythons
0 Hyphens

The Eels can't have the former if there isn't one of the latter.
