Parramatta Eels sign Josh Papalii for 2014

[Gronk]

We need to change the locks on this guy.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Actually rather than locking him out, can we just arrange for a public flogging in King George Square in Brisbane?

 

[natheel]

I can't see him leaving as long as Raiders offer him a decent contract even with parra offering way overs.

Raiders have a very solid team with many young stars coming through and just have to put all the pieces together to be a real premiership threat as they have the players thats for sure.

Mate have you not watched canberra long?

They always seem to have 2 years in the finals (squad looking great for future) then they fall out completely. Can't see anything different happening especially with furner at the helm

I mean yeh we came last BUT we offer something other clubs don't guarantee a first grade spot! Papalii would be straight onto our bench if we nab him. Where raiders have guys coming through that will knock him off of a position if they string some good games back to back

Bench? Man, id be starting him.

Damn straight. Edit all the way.

Wtf...the bench? The backrow is horrible

 

[The Colonel]

Papalii would be straight onto our bench if we nab him.

Bench? He'd start ahead of anyone in our backrow. Missed last years game against Canberra?? He tore us a new one. Attack and defence

 

[Someone]

papali would be a great buy, also if we nab him this early we can focus on a prop or two.

WTF are you blind???

I would rather have J Thompson,Fensom and Papali over what ever you guys have any day of the week.

The bench is not much worse then what you guys have.

In fact if you think about it they will probably have Big TLL and Tilse coming of the bench now those 2 are no mugs and can play.

Do you actually read the posts before replying? Seriously, go back and read it before making yourself look a bit silly.

I'm surprised the little merkin hasn't been thrown in the swamp again.

local journo Tim Gavel has tweeted that Parra's offer is 1.5 million over 3 years
grain of salt stuff but there is no way the raiders will pony up those kind of overs to keep him if the story is accurate

he's an absolute gun and if he signs with you guys, i wish him all the best (and cant blame him if those $$ are accurate) but i wouldnt want to be paying him 500k a year

That's massive!

 

[Stagger eel]

Raider is right... Grain of salt stuff!

 

[The Elephant In The room]

Does he have a younger brother?

 

[hybrideel]

the only thing that would make me think that kind of figure could be true is Anthony Tupou

 

[Suitman]

Ya reckon?
I think we're getting pretty desperate, and he'd be a good buy.

Suity

 

[cv8z]

to get the ball rolling i'd pay him 500k
no one decent is going to come on the cheap

Desperate... Yes! .. But I think you'll find that the original reported figure is much closer to the mark which make him closer to the 330k mark rather than 500.
