Rumours and Stuff

[Grigor]

We'd of been better getting dce for a year as opposed to an injury plagued 18 game player at a top club who like most who leave the storm fail elsewhere

 

[85 Baby]

I’d say the club has a better understanding of the answers you seek.

Do you have evidence of this or just assuming because the club management is making the decision they have made the best decision available?

 

[senior]

Club better have Purdue or Campbell lined up

 

[Legal Eel]

Not 100%, but maybe 90%. The reason is that most of the public thinks long term results are more important than the current season. They are delusional.

You are so much smarter than everybody else on the internet.

 

[Legal Eel]

Because he was horribly out of form. And 2026 is a new year. Ryles’ grace period is over and we need to win games. From the club’s perspective we won’t want a fourth straight year out of the finals.

If you are really lucky we might get Brad back...

 

[T-Boon]

I wonder if we havent signed him with the thought we could agree with Broncos on a transfer.

 

[TheCrowe]

Can we rent a centre, and maybe an edge forward as well ?

Maybe a 1 year loan deal?

 

[Delboy]

Well, been a supporter for a long time and seen some polarising signings, but this is the one that rivals signing Watmough to most fans.

Imagine the reaction if Pezet has some really ordinary performances, guess it’s watch this space with interest. To be honest it feels like it benefits the Donkeys more than the Eels.

 

[lingard]

What the people buying the “spin” that this is a good thing as it allows Lorenzo to develop and not block his path are overlooking the fact we put a 4 year deal in front of Pezet. We wanted him long term, he said no, he wants to go a better club.

we didn’t give a shit about Lorenzo’s path being blocked until 2029 - so that tells you what you need to know about the clubs vision.

Lorenzo is plan b, and spinning it to make him look like plan A because we failed yet again to get the big fish we wanted doesn’t pass muster for anyone with a brain.

That's a fair call. But we were competing with the Broncos and their magic money.
And now we have a plan B. That's okay.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

How's he going to be the main man at Brisbane with Walsh there?

I mean playing first receiver and making decisions.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Promising young half, those don't come cheap

Supply and demand. It matters less what he's done and more what potential clubs think he is capable of doing during the period of his contract.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I would of preferred D.Laurie then Pezet.

Pezet is a better defender, probably much better.

 

[Tiger5150]

i think Parra again are ahead of the game and at the cutting edge of Rugba Leeg strategy. I wouldnt be surprised to see Parra signing players on a monthly basis going forward.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You're a smart enough Merkin to know it's a completely different situation.

But to answer your question we did move on RCH for forwards who will be here in 2026

Yeah we moved him on and signed Williams less than a month later. He was our best performer this year. He is now 29 and might never play this well again. We didn't sign him for the future, we needed him to perform right now.

Could work in the WNRL

You dont get to comment on this total clusterfkuck. Its way too raw
Even TCT are upset!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Ummmm so 2027 he will again be starting with a new 5/8 again that's 3 seasons wasted

How is it wasted? We need to win games in 2026. We can't blow it up for some theoretical premiership down the track that might never happen.

fairly sure Moses wants stability in his 5/8

He will get that with one best option alongside him, not a bunch of nuffies fighting for a jersey. Experience without talent is worth less than the opposite situation.

Edit: less ffs

Give it a rest FFS!

Williams didn't replace RCG as he also plays second row which is his best position IMO

Sam Tuivati made his debut this year replacing RCG.

Also Williams signed for more than 1 season

How is it wasted? C'mon Pou you are smart enough to figure that out...

The best option an 18 gamer that's out the door the next season? Not the best option along way off it..

As someone else mentioned sign DCE for a season..
