Eels in the media

[Timana]

I don't like being calm. If I did, I wouldn't come here and read your dumb bullshit.

They don’t like me either

Expect Matterson, Lane, Paulo and Russell to be the first 4 players signed

And throw in Penisini.

how could they not like you ?

sounds like we're keeping that one

I just hope Will doesn't drop the pen when he inks the deal.

If he does he's not chasing after it.

Player option, so I guess we had no choice...

Apparently we're upgrading him

 

[the phantom menace]

Yikes... Based on performance, Will should only be offered the same salary amount he's currently receiving (i.e. the Player Option amount).

I guess signing his younger brother into the top 30 now might sit nicely alongside Will's planned "upgrade".

He’s on $750k in 2026 if he takes his option. I reckon Ryles is flattening that out with a longer deal. Maybe $500k over 3 years.

 

[the phantom menace]

f**k, $750K for Penisini... seriously? BA looked after his Rhino boys.

Too right I hope Ryles flattens that out - it's probably worth the extra years of Will (potentially as a back-up) just so we don't overpay him.

 

[Pazza]

let him take his PO and after that, see yah

Is he really on 750k?

on zerotackle it’s 400k

I remember hearing that figure on NRL360 from one of the panelists. It’s huge for his final year.

 

[forward pass]

Any idea why the Centre of Excellence has opened without a single announcement, article or new story? I would have thought this is a significant milestone and particularly news worthy since its the largest in the NRL to date?

 

[the phantom menace]

Could be an NRL media ban, wanting all articles this week to point to/be about/promote Magic Round?

Nobody knows, but Avenger's figure is more realistic.

It's 2025. Footy coaches aren't negotiating contracts.
