[Maroubra Eel]

I hope we've signed someone good.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

f**k it! We are merging with te Panthers!

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Hayne is back for his first game in 7 months probably some cheap like that

 

[Maroubra Eel]

The big f**king Weidler news was that we haven't signed Norman yet.

Bwahahahahaha

Bwahahahahaha

Weidler is just ridiculous. You call that breaking news!!!

BTW, he snuck in another SBW tidbit.

 

[Bigfella]

In other news, Elvis is still dead.

 

[El Diablo]

He's dead :shock:

Is Hayne actually off contract end of 2013? This article suggests end of 2014?

Some players i would try to recruit for 2014.

Joel Thompson
Elijah Taylor (if he hasn't already signed with Penrith)
Josh Papalii
Robbie Farah/Mitch Rein/Josh Reynolds
Dene Halatau
Jayson Bukuya

We don't need any/many depth players, we have alot of them in our starting 13/17

These are our off contract players according to Zero Tackle

Mitchell Allgood, Cheyse Blair, Ken Edwards, Matthew Eisenhuth, Matt Keating, Luke Kelly, Taniela Lasalo, Jacob Loko, Ryan Morgan, Jake Mullaney, Pat O'Hanlon, Daniel Penese, Api Pewhairangi, Semi Radradra, Ben Roberts, Nathan Smith, Taulima Tautai, Peni Terepo, Willie Tonga, Vai Toutai, Brayden Willieme.

Depending on who we can get, there is only a few players i would re-sign from that list.

Isnt Blair re-signed for longer?

Yeh Blair is off contract 2015 now. He inked a new 3 year deal late last year while we were chasing Folau

Yeah, i thought so.

NRL Gossip on Facebook asked the question "which former Parramatta player is exploring every option to return to his former club this year?" Mateo?

EGJ... ? :sarcasm:

 

[ParraSteve]

It has to be Brett Finch

 

[the_apostle21]

Can't be Finch, he just started with Melbourne. Shack seems logical, as it appears he can't a run. Doesn't Mateo want to come home?

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

I would have thought that Mateo would the bloke most keen to come back, but who knows? He actually likes the club.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I agree - Mateo appears the most likely.

 

[The Elephant In The room]

I agree - Mateo appears the most likely.

And about the only one worth having back (and even that depends on the $$ he is asking for).

 

[Sphagnum]

It would most likely be Ben Kusto

 

[emjaycee]

Interestingly the area we need to strengthen the most (forwards) is the area where there are less of our ex-players playing first grade for other clubs.

Mateo, Williams, Fa'aoso, Horo are about all I can think of and we don't want the last of those two back here anyway.

Seems we haven't been good at developing NRL quality forwards in our nursery for the last few years and thats is reflected no doubt in the quality of our own pack of late.
