No he’s more powerful and played reserve grade at a younger age.

Yep that wasn't the discussion though..

So here is a as it has nothing to with the conversation as your point.

No he’s more powerful and played reserve grade at a younger age.

I watched the game against Norths. At first didn't know who the "Tyrell Fuimaono" look alike was....he is a big boy.

Hopefully he can remain mobile enough for the edge, wouldn't be surprised if had a big offseason and starts in the NRL early next year....it seems the Ryles way...

He reminds me of Keaon, I think he’ll eventually be a middle

Did they have shoes on at least.

Funnily enough, yes - because they're not allowed inside without shoes, for safety reasons (people have lost toes...)

 

[Eelementary]

Sounds like all ADHD traits...........anyhow the kid was only 15.....I wouIdnt judge any kid as a "turd" because of his behaviour at 15.....

Probably.

But his brother was only two years older, and was a perfect gentleman.

So what was your recommendation? I hope it was beige and turd brown!

Oddly enough, we were forbidden from offering colour advice, as we weren't interior designers haha

All we could do was recommend products.

 

[RealdEel]

He reminds me of Keaon, I think he’ll eventually be a middle

Yep this is my thoughts I also don't think he is very mobile or fit enough at the moment..

 

[Eelementary]

He'd be game-changer if we somehow nabbed him.

Now whilst I agree somewhat that it’s easier to keep them then to sign externally, these best young talents are years away, it’s likely they’ve got at least one other contract to sign before they enter NRL. Even when they enter NRL, they’ll likely still be at least 1-2 years from being a good player.
Also we’ve already got a few in system, Fletcher, Ralagi, Coinakis, JFI, Tuivati, Papalii, Smith are all Australian Schoolboys and Ryles has already commented on our need to develop these players.



Tuivati if he improves his weaknesses has a real opportunity.
Kautoga - average is fine. People got excited when we were linked to Luke Garner FFS.
Guymer I think will be a decent squad member outside top 20 or so. A fine enough player if we have 2 quality, high minute backrowers and one of them is injured and you need Guymer to come in and play high minute, low risk. Alternatively he needs to hit the squat rack hard

Personally, I'm fine with Guymer being in the team, as an 80-minute lock forward to tackle everything.

He will never have a good attacking game, but he's a hard-working defender.

I think Kautoga will surprise many, tbh.

 

[Eelementary]

Have you seen our lower grades? We have plenty of our own talent. Even first grade has more under 21s than most.

It's very exciting!

But, seriously - it is!

Kautoga, Da Silva, Smith, Tuivati, Iongi...these are all basically kids, in footy terms.

How good will they be?

Time will tell.

 

[Eelementary]

The talk is Gutho will be moved into the lock role (sort of aligns with them chasing Douehi for the role)

Interestingly it's what Ryles wanted to do, but couldn't offer Gutho a new deal until he saw how he went. I reckon he wouId have been pretty good there. Think he could have played 60-80 mins there, which is probably Walkers biggest issue, he can't.

Would Gutho have done a better job than Walker, so you reckon?

I love Gutho - Eels great, in my eyes -, but his body is giving up on him, which is really sad.

 

[Eelementary]

And I expect he gets paid as such. If we want to pick on offering nothing from centre, how about that overpriced f$%kwit who seems to be an automatic selection since he was a baby. The bloke is another Waqa Blake. Penisini is absolutely terrible!

I was a Penisini defender - I thought he had real x-factor about him.

I've pretty much given up hope that he will ever be anything other than average, at best.

He's still young, but he's just not improving.

I think if we intend to keep him, he should transition into an edge forward.

I think Walker has shown how Ryles wants the lock to play. If Guymer is going to be used as a lock then he definitely needs some bulk to play more like Hopgood where he can move to prop when the middle half style lock is on field

Which makes sense.

I'm not sure he has the mobility to defend in the edges long-term.

 

[Gronk]

He'd be game-changer if we somehow nabbed him.

Not for $1m. It's a no for me.

Is he seriously going to take a big haircut to move to Sydney? Nah.

Gutherson is an ass hole. Did everyone forget how he threw the club under the bus at every contract negotiation, and him saying through his management that the Eels are an embarrassment

That's your captain for you. f**k Gutherson

And he should never be regarded as an Eels great. He is the embarrassment to.this club.

Fifita back to his old coach?

The Titans advised Fifita’s management that he is free to leave on Friday, opening the door for the former Origin star to reunite with former Broncos mentor Wayne Bennett at the Rabbitohs.

Bennett gave Fifita his NRL debut back in 2018 at the Broncos and he has gone on to score 50 tries in 134 games for the Broncos and Titans, who he joined in 2021 on a mega $1.25 million a season contract.

eh??

Moses did the exact same thing, was screwing over Parra for a bigger and bigger deal

Could argue Gutho played to his pay packet, hardly missed games, consistently in our top 3 every match

Moses has been a huge let down , considering he earns a lot more, misses many games, and is inconsistent.

Common knowledge we have been embarrassing on many levels, why all of a sudden we having a cry cause a player manager pointed it out lol and dismiss everything Gutho has done ??
