Rd9: Eels v Panthers GAME DAY THREAD at Bluebet Stadium 6/5/22

[strider]

Do you reckon we'll keep both our halves for 2024?

Would you keep Moses say at $1.1M or Drown at $900k

I think we will only keep 1.

So in 2024,either JA at half with Moses or dyl at 6

Or guth moves to the 6

I have a feeling the porpoises will have a decent crack at moses ... Depends if they get munster. Dont think they can get both.

SMH did an article a couple of weeks back.
https://amp.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/is...-sheds-light-on-salaries-20220426-p5ag76.html
If Drown gets $900k he’ll be the highest paid 5/8th in comp (unless Anasta can convince Dolphins that Newcastle/Brisbane are actually interested in Cunster)
I also out of interest went through which teams had the most.
Unsurprisingly it was the Rorters and the Smugs. We’ve got 3 (with asterisk against Waqa, and Gutho is possibly 6th in fullbacks)

Going off the past week.

If JA is kept ahead of Brown or moses there will a riot down church street at Parramatta leagues.

He won't be 'kept ahead of them'. It's simply a matter of whether we can keep both of Brown and Moses. It's not like it would be better (or worse) if we lost Brown and JA.

More likely Ethan Sanders and / or Dantoray Lui.

He's been constantly defending like a rep forward, leading our offload counts, and making 100m+ off the bench - only difference is now he's scoring tries, as well.

Plus, he's obviously been told to stay in the middle, rather than drifting between edge, and middle forward.

Lastly, he's finally healthy - those concussion issues took a lot out of him.

I'm not saying we pay him whatever it takes to keep him, but at the very least, we should be making him an offer to stay imo.

Given what you know about the salary cap, how much is Matterson worth on the open market?

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Where are all the Justin Holbrook fans at the moment?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

And that would be another year without a Premiership.

Hopefully we win it this year.

Probably north of the border

 

[IFR33K]

Talked to Dad
He said why haven't they signed Matterson yet. Best forward they have. They want to sign loosers like..... (I won't mention names)

Can you give us a hint?

 

[IFR33K]

merkin.

^^^^^ and i typed that the 4 letter way.

mrkn?????

 

[Suitman]

Hopefully we win it this year.

Hopefully we do.
I didn't say we wouldn't, or couldn't.
I was suggesting that that halves combination wouldn't cut it.

If we have to pay Moses $1m and Dyl $800k for their next contracts then so be it. Then in 3 years Dyl may be ready to be the next superstar and move into the $m club and we move Moses on.

it seems we won’t be heavily investing in an expensive 9 for the next season or two with Reed going.

Gutho $750k
Dyl $800k
Moses $1m
Rein/Hands/? $250k

is probably fairly on par on what you’d spend on your spine.

[I'm a loser baby...]

I'd be telling them to get f**ked.

Hodgson

Oh shit! Haha forgot about Mr ACL. Surely we’re not paying him more than $400k.

 

[IFR33K]

A couple of observations after last nights game. BA waiting to greet his team individually. His "hug" with Bryce seemed quite withheld.
Massive excitement amongst all the boys in the shed all engaging with each other except young Jake who was playing with his phone even though BA said "he dosent do social media". Maybe texting his g/f? Maybe poor timing.
Anyway whatever!

Maybe checking with his manager if he has a contract for next season.

Given what you know about the salary cap, how much is Matterson worth on the open market?

450k-500k

 

[hindy111]

It would be cruel

Who knows what will happen in the halves. Id rather keep D.Brown then Moses however. If we kept Moses then Guth would be a good partner. Unsure Guth works with Brown.
Arthurs would work better with Brown then moses

Really happy with that win, still on a high..
