NRLW / HNWP 2024 - Parramatta Eels

[Gronk]

There needs to get a series of decent signings behind this, we even lost one of the vaunted juniors, Ruby Jean Kennard who played a couple of games last year and a Toongabbie Tigers junior , lost to Wests Tigers NRLW. That’s not good enough really , given who else have signed elsewhere.

Kinda sucks that every player was made a free agent except for your marquee (assume Penitani).

How did we manage to miss the player who represented the area and team and basically identified as the club. Simaima Taufu, a Merrylands girl who was at every function and presser, really that was a fail by the club.

This is a problem that the NRL have created. Rapid expansion is going to dilute the player market. New teams will want to be instantly competitive and throw the cash around. There seems to be a hell of a lot of player movement in the past week.

Is NRLW recruitment a whole separate department at the club @Stagger eel ?

separate department and if I'm not mistaken, headed by Andy Patmore maybe?

 

[Gazzamatta]

Kennedy Cherrington has committed, and that's about it that we can see...

TCT mentioned she has a 3 year deal on the table. If shes accepted that then its a massive signing. Ta Staggs.

Nice

Please tell me we’ve kept Taufa??? She’s been a great warrior for this club so far.

 

[Gronk]

I don’t know if Alysha Bell or her sister (they are both wingers) will ever make the step up from Tarsha Gale to NRLW, but apparently Alysha is something special in the goal kicking department. She rarely misses and so much so that Nathan Brown (coach) mentioned it on TCT a few weeks ago. Even compared to the men, she pots them from all over the park.

Gone mate.

Gone mate.

FFS!! Oh well can't keep them all.........

 

[Chipmunk]

I see Bo-Vette Welsh signed with the Tigpies, and Penitani is apparently going elsewhere to? I think she played for the Sharks before.

What is doing with the Kiwi fullback? Warriors?? She is the most naturally athletic non-track athlete I think I've ever seen.

 

[Delboy]

If you mean Gayle Broughton who was our fullback last season, signed with the Broncos

Yeah. I saw a (Instagram I think) pic of them.

So we have two marquee players signed x 3 years.

Eels build for NRLW future by luring NSW Origin halfback from Dragons

Parramatta’s signing of Rachael Pearson on a three-year deal comes on top of Australian forward Kennedy Cherrington committing to a long-term contract with the club.
