EEL DEAL FOR RCG

Penrith Panthers front-rower Reagan Campbell-Gillard is a done deal at Parramatta for next season. The Eels will announce the signing after they are finished in the finals.

Sad if true. I think we need him for next year with his confidence back. If not, then he has to be replaced by buying someone asap

 

[GoldCoastPather]

We need him next year or a better one brought in. If not bottom 8 for sure

Who is the current state of origin prop we are after? Klemmer?

Probably Christian Welch. We were linked to him earlier in the season.

 

[Royce is King]

A couple of outside backs that have carved up the Q.CUP this yr are 2 guys that I believe we should sign ASAP FOR 2020 and beyond
1. IZAIA PERESE..... this guy has only had a couple of token runs for the Broncos ( he has more talent than any other centre they have including Staggs), but he is just too good for the Q.cup, went away with the Wallabies when he was 18 ...... and is quick as hell..... he would be the 1st centre picked at Penrith.

2. GIDEON MOSBY- GELA.... Does anybody remember Josh Ado Car at the tigers..... quick as all hell but very raw....... this guy is exactly the same.... a few games for the Cowboys but he has insane speed.... with the right coaching the guy has the ability to score 15 - 20 tries a yr consistently.

Both guys are off contract and are exactly what we need.

Signed again with the purple scum

He’s re-signed with the Storm.

Who says we are after one?

Missed that one.

Dunno what other Origin prop we could be after then. Maybe Jai Arrow? If we're even after any. All rumours I've seen pointed to JWH.

 

[Dave's mate]

With Burns looking the goods and Kikau a bit flat real thought should be had about moving him to prop. Come off the bench and let rip

 

[Mr Angry]

Arrow?

 

[Luke Bowden]

Arrow?

I’ll wet my pants with excitement if we sign Arrow.

Might sound silly but he I think we should be using him in more decoy plays. When he is steaming in for a run defenders zero on him we should be making better use of that.

That being said I don’t mind trying him in the middle. The start of this year he was a weapon in defence, anyone gave him a decent shot at him got f**king drilled. In the middle with blokes running straight at him lookout. He’s destined for the middle at some point, blokes like him rarely get smaller as their careers progress. With the ball in the middle he’d still be a beast, one with an offload.

 

[martielang]

Kiks has been a weapon on the edge for the last 3 years, I wouldn’t be moving him. Limits his ability to get 1 v 1 & takes away 1/1 game plans we currently have.

Did Welch officially re-sign? I thought it was hinted but never formalised.

It changes his game no doubt but it gives him different opportunities, he could be a huge weapon through the middle like a Haas or Tamoulolo, if Burns and Marto can kick on it’s worth a try to see how he goes at some point.

Welch signed till the end of 2020.

Paul Vaughn would be Gold.

 

[Fangs]

Paul Vaughn would be Gold.

Big fan of his.

Neither would I.
As Panther mick said a few pages back if Kikau moves to the middle all it does is encourage Ivan to use him as a battering ram. Which is a shameful waste.
Leave him on the edge to terrorize weak defenders. If people are worried about him playing the whole game give him a breather half way through the match.
Move him to the middle later on in his career when he gets fatter and slower. Not now.

He might have more value as a battering ram tho....you say it like it’s a bad thing but premierships are built on battering rams.
