How did the Eels f**k this up actually?

Obvious landing spot. Offered more money didn't they?
Coaching staff with a rich history of getting the best out of their halves...

They didn't stand a chance against Gus. Gus whispered sweet nothings about the silverware-laden future he'll have at the Dogs, the money he'll make next contract, the great times they'll have and so on. Tigers offered $1m+ a year, Eels probably close, but they don't have Gus.

Nek minnit Gus goes to Perth.

It'd be such a cowboys thing to do.

Tbh, Parra Mahoney was a better hooker than Robson IMO. At least in attack. His issue is the way the Dogs have got him playing and everyone rightly hates the little merkin for it. If a coach can get that back out of him he'll be a decent signing for someone. If not he's a liability.

Obviously he had the germ in him to be able to bring t out so easy, so it's a big ask.

Not even close bruv. But I don't disagree that the grub had to be there already for him to be so bad now. I don't think any coach who could hange him would want him now
He just didn't look like such a bitch because he was next to Mitchy and Nuffo

Dogs have realised the many short comings of their spine and are moving to fix it while there is a premiership in play. Sharks will remain in denial or worry about it in the offseason.
Don't be ridiculous

It will be 2027 before we even give it a thought.

I've never rated him. A penalty and error machine. Couldn't understand why the dogs bought him when they had jmk.

We all wanted to see someone smash Mahoney... this would be a decent whack if he gets punted from a high flying dogs and has to go to a bottom 8 team this season.

Manly, knights or eels are the only teams who might bite... otherwise f**k off to SL and get the shit beat out of you on a night out on the tiles in Manchester or Leeds.

Could see Cowboys, Eels, Knights or Manly signing him to be honest, don't think he's Super League bound.

Knights have the current NZ hooker mate. Although him and Hetherington on the same team would be funny

Reading recent stories, seems that Gould sold the idea of the Dogs team first and premiership to the Galvin camp 12months ago. The Galvins and everone else did not see Dylan moving and opening up the 5/8 spot. Looks like it was too late to change snd possibly Moses sold the idea of the Eels to muddy the water. Even may have considered that move, but Gus wasn’t to be denied and who knows what else happened.

Hence the last minute , unforeseen signing, classics manipulation and has happened with a few Gus signings. Oh well , see how it plays out ,never been a 7 even at school level from what I remember and could have played foil to Mitch, interesting watch from this point.

I heard Gus sold him on Vegas 2026.

Watch him back out when he realises he won't be old enough to drink.
