Yet we couldn’t even nab Connor Tracey, pretty embarrassing.


How long have we been waiting for that X Factor player?

How much was Connor Tracey going for ? If you were in charge of the eels, would you really sign him for 3 years ?

I mean our drawing power is that poor we couldn’t nab him, he went to a rookie coach and a shitshow like the Dogs. It’s great we don’t pay overs but with Baldie in charge we will always be paying overs for any sort of quality. I mean even Bea’s favs stretched the club into long negotiations that was played out in the media. The club has no pulling power and that also included the board and muppet CEO.

But hey we got a couple of Manly rejects that’s very exciting!!!

He wanted 3 years and got it at a shit club. I know you're trying to make a LOL out of this, but we obviously held our ground. In the end the Sharks wanted a player swap and the Sharks took a young back with potential.

See that's a bad deal for a desperate Dogs club and you wish it was us ?

I couldn’t give a rats arse about the dogs, but we couldn’t even snare Tracey. Instead we get the. Dregs of the NRL in Harper, what is a LOL moment is all the people trying to talk him up like he’s some sort steal. He’s a deadset struggler there is a reason he was on the scrap heap.

Are we really getting upset over not getting a 27 year old who hasn't been able to snare a consistent first grade spot also who has had 3 ACL injuries...

Bulldogs gave up Grabreal who they stole from us and talked up, I guess he wasn't that good if the Dogs let him go.

I’m not fussed at not nabbing Tracey, he’s a solid first grader that’s it. But it was a response to someone loling at the Tigers for signing Luai. I said at least they got their man, we couldn’t even nab Tracey. And I stand by that statement. We couldn’t attract flies atm, but hey at least we don’t pay overs let’s laugh at the Tigers to make our mediocre small tin pot club with no money or resources seem so much better……..

We have to pay overs to players we already have!

I do get it we seem to miss out on certain players I think it was Campbell recently which I think will be a huuuuge mistake on his behalf as he will be jumped for the fullback spot at the Titans for that young kid.

But if we do get Campbell do we lose some of our juniors coming through as Gutho would have to go to center then Blaize doesnt have a spot.


I do think the Tigers messed up by chasing Lui though on massive coin. They needed to do what the Shraks have done and purchase some forwards that can lead the younger guys coming through and not a Tamou he was looking for his Retirment fund. I think the Tigers halves this year are decent and not on much money they also have some pretty good halves coming though their juniors.

That was my point, we have to pay overs for even the coaches pets. We hardly are in a position to be slinging shit at anyone. We have no pulling power whatsoever, the idiot board thought extending Bea was going to get Guth, Moses and Co. Nek Minnett………

We have a better squad than the Tigers so no, we aren’t overpaying merkins as much as they are.

Their forward stocks after that are basically non-existent because Topine/RFM are allegedly persona non grata

I am surprisingly ok with this. It would be a shame if a couple of their forwards picked up injuries throughout the season. I'm not sure where that would leave them.

Bulldogs are trying to get May from the Panthers..

Where does he play they already have their centres wingers ect I assume JAC is on the one who will make way if he signs.

He's a winger. I think he's play centre a couple of times in NSW Cup, but he's only ever played wing in NRL.
