Jim 'FFS' Sarantinos recently stated that we have 24 currently signed to next year's top 30, meaning one player has been upgraded/re-signed (or signed from elsewhere!) on the sly: https://www.parraeels.com.au/news/2022/06/03/ceo-update--june/

C'mon Pou figure it out who is this player????

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Could be an upgrade to Tuipulotu?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Most likely is Cini I think. Might also be Hands, Moretti or EEZ.

 

[emjaycee]

Could be an upgrade to Tuipulotu?

Not likely from what I hear.
Josh isn't progressing as well as originally planned or hoped for.

 

[emjaycee]

Most likely is Cini I think. Might also be Hands, Moretti or EEZ.

My money is on Cini being upgraded.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Not likely from what I hear.
Josh isn't progressing as well as originally planned or hoped for.

Whats their thoughts on Big Sam L mate? I remain hopeful.

 

[emjaycee]

Whats their thoughts on Big Sam L mate? I remain hopeful.

No sure mate. His name hasnt really come up in conversation whereas Josh's did for other reasons and I then asked about his prospects.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Not likely from what I hear.
Josh isn't progressing as well as originally planned or hoped for.

The fact he's been dropped to Flegg supports this.

 

[emjaycee]

The fact he's been dropped to Flegg supports this.

His young sister is battling cancer, which may be why his form has slipped.

 

[hindy111]

Most likely is Cini I think. Might also be Hands, Moretti or EEZ.

Morreti didn't even make the NSW cupmside this weekend.

 

[hindy111]

No sure mate. His name hasnt really come up in conversation whereas Josh's did for other reasons and I then asked about his prospects.

How about Hands, Yates and Morretti?
I get the feeling Rodwell will be a lot better player then Stone. I also think he will debut soon as in this year.

He debuted last year.

Might be injured or whatever. His profile is on the club's official site, unlike a bunch of other reserve graders.

I don't think he is. Barely getting minutes and not forced way into starting side. Along with a few NRL players who played.

@Poupou Escobar FFS Merkin what a shambles!!!

Ryan Matterson re-signs​

Authorparraeels.com.auTimestampSun 19 Jun 2022, 09:36 AM


Parramatta Eels back-rower Ryan Matterson has re-signed for four seasons and will remain at the Club until the 2026 season.
Making his Origin debut last week, Ryan has been in career best form for the Eels.
Parramatta Eels General Manager of Football Mark O’Neill said Matterson’s retention was important in helping the Eels maintain one of the best forward packs in the NRL and Ryan’s commitment to the club is a sign of his belief in the playing group, coaching staff and the direction the club is heading.

“Ryan is an integral part of our team moving forward, he’s a versatile player, has a great offload in his game and is the ultimate professional on and off the field. Since re-joining the club in 2020, Ryan has played his best football which was rewarded with selection for NSW in Origin 1.”
Matterson is a Parramatta Eels junior and has played over 130 NRL games since making his debut in 2016.

I think Matterson is also a utility. We have 15 of them now.
