Understand the interest is In a couple of aggressive middles and a centre. Not sure who they expect to achieve these signings.not sure it’s the current mob.

Definitely more than enough cash to get at least 4 decent players, not sure they are currently available as we seem slow to enter the market as usual.

Actually, not at the moment. I haven't trawled the forums to see who's available for next year but a 32 yo sounds like another prime candidate for 'taking the cash from the Eels'. He's been around, won a premiership ring. The only thing left is to take a payout contract.

sure, issue is this isnt a high profile destination for elite players.

Haas, JFH, Carrigan, N White, AFB, Leota etc theyre not coming here

I mentioned it before. The NRL Six Again game is no country for old men. Careers are becoming shorter, injuries are climbing and players are looking for bigger seasonal payouts to compensate for less years in the game.

the games rules change every year, how you can make predictions like that with any sort of certainty is beyond me.

we are talking about one 32 year old, if it makes you feel better i think we should also go after ata mariota, hes 24.

They aren't going to slow the game down, mate. Players in their 30's are going to be found out on the field more often. Paulo is also 32. He's virtually done. I want to see our COE live up to it's name as well as see us compete aggressively for top tier players who want to play for the Eels not only for money but pride. Yeah, I'm dreaming.

in 25 years i can only think of 1 top tier player that wanted to play for the eels (BA) and that was Kieran Foran.

if you want to elite talent in the B&G, better look to pathways

I know I was only dreaming but you get like that after 40 years in the House Of Pain. Mercenaries are the way to go.

They got Su’A, why can’t they get others?
