What if they wear a tracker and a watch?
I can't afford the expensive watches...I only have a tag, seiko or tissot and fitbit tracker now.
I gave my fitibit sense to my son.
I only ever bought the fitbits for step counting and heart rate monitoring
My money has been taken away from supporting the Eels, my blood pressure has increased supporting the Eels and my cholesterol has also increased comfort eating supporting the Eels....WTF...that's a real abomination
BUT I'm blue and yellow (gold) til I die

Nothing wrong with any of those watches. I have plenty of Seiko’s. Just ensure they are automatic movements. Quartz has no soul.

Have I mentioned that I’m glad the peanut is going? ;)

It literally made my week.

As I said a week or so ago, I would have liked to have kept him.
But not on the stupid dollars he and his manager were asking for. I'm glad we stood our ground. We'll now go and source a 5/8th to serve our club better and allow our salary cap to be better balanced.
I also stated that if he goes, I won't lose any sleep over it, and I haven't.
If there is a loser in this whole scenario, it's the Knights, for paying overs. Some may call it market value, but in my mind, its desperation.
There has only ever been one player that has been worth a long term $1 million contract that has earned it, and that is DCE at Manly.
I laugh at the fact that Newcastle have just signed the most expensive player ever in the NRL yet he's not even amongst the best 20 players in the League. Not even on potential. He's past the "potential" stage of his career.
I hope I'm wrong, but I think this signing may even end in tears for Parra this season. It's my opinion that he's just not mature enough to handle the pressure he has put himself under and be able to perform for the rest of the season now for us.
Time will tell.

If we bomb out this year and he has another mediocre season he will be one of the most despised players ever. I’m not one to boo our players. I’ve never done it but I reckon he will cop plenty during the season by our own fans and I understand it.

I’m certain he will crumble as the season goes on, especially without Moses taking the pressure off him.

Fair play mate probably right. Who’s your pick?

Not sure tbh. I wouldn't be breaking the bank on one particular player. We need 2 edge forwards IMO and probably can't over spend on either.

Been a big fan of Fermor for a few years, he would have been a good 400K signing 2 years ago. But he's on the Titans books long-term now....

Nenai dropped by Payten this week. One of those blokes won't be there long term. I think most people know which one so it probably means Nenai won't be looking to get out of his deal....

You do realize that sometimes a competitor's offer is so extraordinary, that a counter-offer would be embarrassing for all parties ? That doesn't mean that we won't match it. It means that we can't match it.

To construe from that silly conclusions that he is out of the coach's favour, without all the information would be foolish.

Get out of your Eastern suburbs bubble and read the tea leaves for once

Ryles didn't want him and I applaud him for making the ruthless call.

We are in for some pain this year but everything Jason is doing is for the long term betterment of the club.
