He's one of the Eels' best but that doesn't mean there isn't a gentle nudge by management.
can we get a gentle nudge from management to DWZ and replace his 900k salary with a cheap young winger? Pretty much all the wingers nowadays can do the acrobat dives into the corner so wont be missing much. Also, maybe the next one can defend.

Saw this on another thread, Devlin is hearing Shaun Stevenson possibly to the Warriors, and soon.

Anyone else heard similar elsewhere? Timing would be weird given he’s on the ABXV trip.

Ado carr and Montoya swapsies?
No thanks.

Montoya, there was a guy who eked out all the ability he had. Which wasn't massive, but especially this year I came to appreciate he was a 100% every week guy. Apparently one of the nicest guys out, too. Won't be missed from a playing perspective and I doubt he has much more NRL in front of him, but he was a guy who gave it his all and was loved by his team mates.

Mmmmm...interesting. I'm not a massive Shaun Stevenson fan, seems to play in the highlights but the reason he hasn't played more for the All Blacks is they can't trust him to do the little things that make him successful.

Yes very interesting. But for the right price (i.e. not much at all) I think he's worth a punt. His strong suits are the sorts of things we're missing right now.. proper pace, bit of x-factor etc.

Agree he's had question marks over him but from what I've read before, the AB feedback he got was mainly around improving ruck defence which obviously wont be a thing in league. Hopefully his weaknesses there weren't a symptom of other issues but again, so long as the Warriors dont throw stupid money at him, I wouldnt mind the gamble.

Montoya gone. I echo @Penrose Warrior’s summary. But I am stoked- really felt like we were treading water there.

Now, if we just piss off Ford this week, I’ll be happy
